The Domingo Espetacular report follows the investigation by a journalist who had more than 200 photos used in fake profiles to seduce and extort women in several countries, including a victim in Scotland who lost almost R$ 60,000. The report shows similar cases in Brazil, the arrest of a fraudster in Rio de Janeiro and guidance on reverse image search. Forensic expert Adriano Vallim analysed the numbers supplied by the victim, identified the use of VoIP lines and location masking and, after a court decision to block the fake profile, reached the fraudster's location in North Africa, in Algeria, and also recommends not hiding online relationships from the family and distrusting recent profiles with a lot of content.
The interview is in Portuguese. The summary above is in English.
