Police are looking for a woman who took money from a Hanover man after threatening to post on Facebook a video of him having cybersex.

On Sunday, Hanover Patrolman Mac Leggour took a fraud report from a resident claiming he was defrauded out of $1,000, police said.

The victim told Leggour he was on a dating website called “Plenty of Fish” and was contacted by a woman asking to Skype so they could have cybersex, police said.

The victim then engaged in cybersex with a woman, who identified herself as “Chloe Murray,” police said.

Shortly after the session ended, the victim received a text message from “Chloe” showing a video of him having cybersex along with a list of all of his Facebook friends, police said.

“Chloe” then threatened to send the video to all of his Facebook friends if he didn’t send her $1,000 through MoneyGram, an online currency transfer service, police said.

“Chloe” said she would delete the video when she received the money, police said.

The victim complied with the request and sent $1,000 to the Philippines as instructed, police said.

The victim then decided to then report the incident as he did not believe the video was deleted and that more demands may be forthcoming, police said.

The ensuing investigation determined that the name “Chloe Murray” and the number she used to contact the victim were both fake, police said.

A Google search of the available information revealed it is an ongoing scam occurring in several locations, police said.

The investigation is pending as of Thursday.
