I came across this story last night. A woman in the US called Dell Tech Support (which has been outsourced to India) for help with her computer. She was having trouble finding some personal photos on her computer and wanted to locate them so she could delete them (she has a 14 year old daughter in the house and didn't want her to discover the pics). To her horror, she watched as the Dell technician found them and then downloaded them to his computer. He then created a website using the photographs and the woman's real name. He blackmailed her into sending him a brand new Dell laptop; frightened that she was being exposed, she complied in hopes that he would take down the site. Instead, he charged her account to buy +$800 in Dell equipment for another woman in the US with whom he was chatting up. The woman says that she feels completely violated and is thinking about pressing charges. Dell has yet to handle the situation.
I KNOW. It's ridiculous. But it's true! Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself!
So my question to you is... What would YOU do?!

I have to agree with one readers response that any time the camera snaps and you naked its probable that those pics will get out. I once lost a nearly brand new camera that fell out of my truck when a friend got out and she swept it out by accident with her pant leg (our best guess). The first 10 or so pics on it were of me getting fucked on the dining room table complete with a couple nice full body spread shots of me totally naked sporting my creampie. Oh well... Its the risk I take and in my case I'm ok with it. If your not then dont ever pose and it reduces the risk.
That being said... as killing him is impractical due to his location and probably a pain in the ass in the long run... I would file the complaint with Dell first. The next a hard part to swallo will be that the FBI will have to initiate an investigation do to the international and nature of the crimes. This will also lead to INTERPOL getting involved - which is all fine but may draw a lot of attention you dont want. But if you want justice you may have to go for it. You could sue Dell on a civil action but that might be expensive and worse you could loose. Civil action againsy him is more difficult as hes not a US Citizen and not here....
Remember there a billions of naked pics on the net...on millions of porn sights.... odds of anyone finding them especially by accident are not really high. And though not really a comfort... ok so you were naked... not like a measurable percentage of the world population isnt right thete with you.
As for the next time... dont ever agree to negotiate with criminals or hostage takers... you will always loose. Try to diffuse it while your in initial contact by saying go ahead - hell please do - i post myself up all the time doing worse then that. Try to make them think what they have has no threat or value over you. And just hang up on them. Very little of what you say or do otherwise from that point will change what they will ultimately do. Dont give the prick the satisfaction of knowing its really getting to you.
Good luck and I'm super sorry....I woud remember all of this when it comes time to buy a new computer. Last thought... if you know the sight he put them on contact them directly and ask them to take them down. Might work. Might not. Once its up its reallllllllly hard to find every place it went to delete it....
