Men using social networking and online dating sites are being targeted by fraudsters posing as attractive young women.
Victims are typically lured into taking off their clothes in front of their webcam allowing the fraudster to record a video.
A threat is then made to publish the video with false allegations of paedophilia unless money is paid.
French police say they are being told of incidents every day, with most probably going unreported.
One victim, a 28-year-old man, is willing to speak about his experience but wishes to remain anonymous.
She sent me a message and I was happy because normally the girls don't take the first step, he says.
She said she was French, living in Lyon, but was on holiday in Ivory Coast. We then chatted for a bit on MSN and I could see a video of her. She was a very beautiful French-looking girl, very pretty.
She was dressed to begin with and asked whether I would be interested in going further. I asked what that meant and she said she wanted to see my body... everything.
She put on another video and started to undress. I was completely taken in. I had no idea this was a video. I thought it was real.
But her real intentions soon became clear.
After five minutes she sent me a message saying: 'Have a look at this video I've taken of you. I am going to put it on YouTube unless you send me some money.'
I looked at the video - you could see my face... you could see everything.

Wonder how much of this goes unreported. Scary stuff to say the least. I guess you could say You play, you pay.
