To all Gay Online Social Networks and their members.

From Matt Conaster [email protected] and the GorgeousBoys Online Entertainment Network.

An individual claiming to represent himself as a gay news journalist or gay
talent agent in the adult entertainment industry has been circulating within the
gay online communities of the internet. This individual represents himself using
an alias name, known as Damon Kruezer and may offer you a link to a website.
Said website will represent spoofed information about industry insider
information and industry gossip to cause you to believe you are dealing with a
reputable person.

The nature of this scheme works very simple, here is how it usually works: You
will receive online communication via email or instant messenger from this
individual. He will make proposals of introducing you to a new and rewarding
career in the adult film industry. He will debrief you for vital information
such as age, date of birth, names of members of your family and other personal
information.

It would appear you would be making an application for employment
by answering his questions about such information. He will ask you to email him
personal images of yourself. After you provide him this information he will
publish what appears to be an interview with you on his website. After
developing a rapport with you online and claiming to you he has provided you
with necessary publicity he will then ask for money. Of course after you send
money to him nothing will ever develop toward landing you employment in a film
or other areas of the industry.

Many victims of these schemes sometimes don’t have money to pay the “publicity
fee” or later begin to question the creditability of the offerings. Once you
fail to make payment or question the creditability of him he will then extort
you by explaining to you that he will contact your family and friends, employer
and or associations and share with them the personal information you may have
shared with him to include photographs you may have submitted to him. Often
victims give in and pay him to avoid having this information shared.

Blackmail/Extortion is the serious felony crime of threatening to reveal damaging or embarrassing information in order to coerce money or other goods or
forms of cooperation out of a victim. For blackmail to be effective, the blackmailer must, in most cases, have physical proof of the information he
threatens to reveal, such as photographs or emails.

The victim of blackmail is typically threatened with exposure of his private
life, the consequences of which can range from embarrassing to socially
devastating to legally damning. At its most serious, blackmail may rest on the
exposure of a serious crime, which would do infinitely more damage to the victim
than complying with the blackmailer. Even secret information that is not of a
criminal nature, however, can make the victim of blackmail feel that he has no
recourse against the crime.

The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C).
IC3’s mission is to serve as a vehicle to receive, develop, and refer criminal
complaints regarding the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime. The IC3 gives
the victims of cyber crime a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism that
alerts authorities of suspected criminal or civil violations. For law
enforcement and regulatory agencies at the federal, state, and local level, IC3
provides a central referral mechanism for complaints involving Internet related
crimes.

If you feel you have been a victim of Damon Kruezer or other like matter you
may file a complaint with the FBI and IC3 online at: http://www.ic3.gov
