EWhoring
eWhoring, or e-whoring, is a type of online fraud where criminals will pose as partners, typically women, for virtual sexual encounters, asking for money in exchange for pictures, videos, and sexually explicit conversations.[1]. Packs of images and videos are sold on underground forums so that offenders can continuously imitate the same person for extended periods of time[1][2]. These images are usually stolen from pornographic sites, social media, or revenge porn sites where disgruntled partners typically post compromising photos that were previously shared consensually[1][2]. Image packs typically sell for between US $5 and $50 and the currency used in most exchanges are either Amazon or PayPal gift cards[2][3]
