Pavan Malu, the creator of the web show ‘Video Cam Scam’ on Epic On, sheds light on the real-life incident that inspired him to create the series as a means to spread awareness about online scams and frauds. He reveals that the show was born out of his personal experience of successfully navigating through a social media scam from a psychological perspective.
According to Pavan, one of the key factors that lead people into falling for online scams is the sense of emotional loneliness and the search for companionship on social media platforms. He highlights the vulnerability of individuals who seek someone to confide in when they feel emotionally isolated or neglected by their close ones. This emotional vulnerability becomes the entry point for scammers to exploit and manipulate unsuspecting victims.
Pavan’s research uncovered a disturbing trend where individuals, seeking solace and connection online, would engage with strangers on fraudulent apps. These scammers, posing as sympathetic companions, would deceive victims into sharing intimate content, which they would then use to blackmail and exploit them.
Through his investigation, Pavan discovered numerous fraudulent apps designed to trap and victimize unsuspecting individuals, highlighting the pervasive nature of online scams. Motivated by the alarming rise in scam victims and the urgent need to address this issue, Pavan conceived the idea of ‘Video Cam Scam’ to raise awareness and educate people about the dangers of online fraud.
