Woman afraid nude photos will be posted online
By SHARON CHEW
newsdesk@thestar.com.myKUALA LUMPUR: A consultant is worried that nude photos taken by her online boyfriend will be posted on the Web.
Annie, 32, had a relationship with the man, known as William Bobby Madoff, since March last year.
They got to know each other through Yahoo messenger.
Although they have never met, Annie claims to have fallen deeply in love with William, so much so that when he pestered her to pose naked in front of the webcam, she agreed.
Annie was speaking at a press conference organised by the MCA Complaints and Public Services Department here yesterday.
Two months later, Annie said she received an e-mail from William, asking how she wanted to settle the matter of the nude photos.
She decided to ignore it as she had broken up with William.
Last Wednesday, however, she received a message via Yahoo messenger from William.
He claimed to know her whereabouts and threatened to post the nude photos on the Internet soon.
Annie immediately lodged a police report and sought help from MCA Complaints and Public Services Department chief Datuk Michael Chong.
She said that in April last year, William told her to expect a package containing valuables such as a handphone, a laptop and some jewellery.
However, a week later, someone claiming to be from a billing department in Sabah called and asked her to pay RM3,880 for delivery of the package.
“I contacted William to clarify about the payment. He told me he had paid the charges in his country, but was unaware there were other charges to pay in Malaysia.
“He urged me to pay because the package was very valuable.”
She banked in the money but a few hours later, quickly cancelled the transaction.
Annie has since changed her phone number and e-mail address.
Chong urged chatroom users not to fall for the many scams on the Internet and advised victims to lodge police reports.
