You've all probably heard of this, whatever it's 'official' name is. There was a fairly interesting but totally non-conclusive documentary on about a news presenter who masturbated on Skype and was held to ransom over the video recorded being released publicly/sent to his friends/family/colleagues etc. This kind of thing: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-37735369

Instagram seems to have become a festering ground for this type of baiting. I get at least a message a week which I can only assume is the intention.

All that happens when you report the account is they create a new one and carry on, so I've decided to try and bait the baiter; that is, go along with it, and eventually send a fake video of me doing the business. Assuming I'm successful and I get to the ransom stage I presume they'll ask for bitcoin or similar.

How can I get anything on them of substance to forward to the police or whoever? An email would get me an IP, likely behind a VPN anyway. I know a bitcoin address could identify linked accounts but anyone that actually gets held to ransom would have that anyway.

Any OcUK detective suggestions?

PS. I do masturbate on webcam only to be held ransom...
