Teen Victim of Online Scam on TikTok: The Fake French Woman, Nude Photos, and Extortion

A teenager in Rhodes fell victim to an online scam after being approached by an unknown individual who convinced him to send nude photos, which were later used for extortion. The incident occurred on Thursday evening (March 20, 2025), when a 16-year-old boy visited a local police station in Rhodes to report a severe case of sexual extortion and violation of personal data via the internet. According to his statement, that afternoon, an unknown person using the pseudonym ‘Aloucious bea’ contacted him on TikTok, pretending to be a French woman, as reported by the newspaper ‘Dimokratiki.’ The conversation continued on Telegram, where the perpetrator gained the minor’s trust and persuaded him to exchange nude photos through a profile named ‘@beauty_alice12.’ Some of these images clearly showed the boy’s face. Shortly afterward, the scammer returned with an extortion message demanding €200, threatening to publish the material otherwise. The teenager then reported the incident to the authorities. The case is under investigation during preliminary inquiries regarding violations of Article 346 of the Penal Code concerning revenge pornography, while efforts are ongoing to identify the digital identity of the perpetrator.
