:01:31. > :01:35.When does an online heart to heart turns nasty and flirtation turns to
:01:35. > :01:44.blackmail? There has been a spate of such incidents in France with
:01:44. > :01:49.sometimes tragic consequences. The number of online chat and
:01:49. > :01:59.dating sites has exploded in recent years, supply keeping up with the
:01:59. > :02:03.perceived inexhaustible demand for intimacy, love, or online sex. Many
:02:03. > :02:07.of the sites may be OK, but some are being used by criminals,
:02:07. > :02:10.completely are interested in looking for love, they are out to
:02:10. > :02:16.cheat people out of serious money and possibly even destroyed their
:02:17. > :02:21.lives in the process. The French reputation management company, a
:02:21. > :02:25.Reputation Squad, has received an alarming number of panic calls from
:02:25. > :02:31.lonely hearts, who had become very lonely indeed as they find
:02:31. > :02:39.themselves victims of serious blackmail and fraud. When people
:02:39. > :02:43.get in touch with us, they were on some dating website or some social
:02:43. > :02:49.network, and they meet somebody. They need somebody online, and the
:02:49. > :02:54.person asked them to go on MSN or Skype, to chat with them, after a
:02:54. > :03:02.few minutes, or hours of tatin, they ask for more, which basically
:03:02. > :03:09.is getting naked. After a few minutes, the tone changes. What was
:03:09. > :03:15.an amorous meeting has suddenly becomes a classic black male. --
:03:15. > :03:22.blackmail. I have captured the images of you are undressing and
:03:23. > :03:28.then I'm going to send it to all your friends. Visit this chat site
:03:28. > :03:33.and you will find warning of a scam, and advised from -- against leaving
:03:33. > :03:40.the site to Luca via Web cam. We spoke to a man who met somebody on
:03:40. > :03:44.this, his words are spoken by an actor. She sent me a message and I
:03:44. > :03:51.was happy. Normally Gelston not take the first step. We were
:03:51. > :03:56.chatting on MSN. She was a very beautiful girl, a very pretty. She
:03:56. > :04:00.asked me if I was interested in getting further. She wanted to see
:04:00. > :04:06.my body, everything. She put on another video and started to
:04:06. > :04:16.undress. I was completely taking in and I did not know it was a video.
:04:16. > :04:22.After five minutes she said, look at this video taken of you, send me
:04:22. > :04:31.money or I will put it on you to be. On the same page, our victims saw
:04:31. > :04:36.many similar pictures of victims in trapped in this way. The blackmail
:04:36. > :04:40.wanted 500 euros. They wanted it wide to Abidjan, the victim's video
:04:40. > :04:44.was captured with his name and a false allegation that he was
:04:44. > :04:48.performing a sexual act in front of a young girl. The French police
:04:48. > :04:57.have received a spate of reports of blackmail attempts, beating a
:04:57. > :05:02.similar description. TRANSLATION: At the moment, we are persuaded
:05:02. > :05:06.that there are several blackmailer Thames committed every day. Not
:05:06. > :05:16.everyone who finds themselves victims of this crime is coming
:05:16. > :05:16.
:05:17. > :05:22.forward to be police, because they are so intimate. The blackmailer's
:05:22. > :05:27.craft is to pray on human vulnerable, set a trap and then
:05:28. > :05:32.trade on the victim's shame. They estimate that the victims were not
:05:32. > :05:35.come forward to the authorities because they had too much to lose,
:05:35. > :05:42.and they may believe the police will believed the allegations of
:05:42. > :05:47.paedophilia. It is something very serious in France. This is a 28-
:05:47. > :05:52.year-old who is doing it in front of a seven-year-old girl. He should
:05:52. > :05:58.be in prison. That is why that rather than reporting the scams,
:05:58. > :06:02.many end up calling companies like Reputation Squad. Most of the time
:06:02. > :06:07.the people are really panicked and they do not know what to do. They
:06:07. > :06:12.are really afraid that it is going to ruin their entire life. They
:06:12. > :06:17.come to us in despair. They never say, I met somebody on the internet
:06:17. > :06:22.and I went naked, they always tried to hide the shame that they feel.
:06:22. > :06:26.So they tell stories such as my computer has been hacked, my former
:06:26. > :06:32.girlfriend has been putting pictures of me online. That kind of
:06:32. > :06:38.thing. But actually, 95% of the time, it is just web camera
:06:38. > :06:44.blackmail. If initial attempts to extort payment fail, the tactics
:06:44. > :06:54.changed. They made contact, supported by a forged documents,
:06:54. > :06:59.they now pose as the Ivorian police. The blackmailers also oppose the
:06:59. > :07:04.beer on a false website, aborting to be that of Interpol all the
:07:04. > :07:07.local police. At the same time, day email false documents which
:07:07. > :07:11.indicate to the person that they have created acts of
:07:11. > :07:18.paedopornography, and to bring an end to the affair, they will have
:07:18. > :07:26.to pay a fine. A man called me up and he said he was from the Ivorian
:07:26. > :07:32.police. I said I was poor. I did not scenting anything. It does not
:07:32. > :07:36.always end OK. The worst is not the victim paying up all be out of
:07:36. > :07:41.pocket 1,000 euros, while putting the story together, I spoke to a
:07:41. > :07:45.woman whose ex-husband paid out something in the range of 3,500
:07:45. > :07:50.euros to keep these blackmailers at bay and to keep his worst fears of
:07:50. > :07:56.the internet. I was speaking to her rather than him, because a week
:07:56. > :07:59.after the first demand for money, he killed himself. It seems his
:07:59. > :08:07.blackmailers were right that this and he could see no end in sight to
:08:07. > :08:12.his ordeal. -- were relent less. is terrible. I had been in touch
:08:12. > :08:19.with people who never thought they would be a victim of this sort of
:08:19. > :08:24.thing. We can say what end idiot for a undressing in front of a web
:08:24. > :08:29.cam, but our society is a society of solitude. We can imagine
:08:29. > :08:35.somebody who has got an undressed, excited about the encounter, and
:08:35. > :08:39.then they are up scant like this. For a person that is already alone,
:08:39. > :08:44.that is already enormously destructive. Often these are people
:08:44. > :08:53.who are alone and it can be very dramatic. If you are very young, it
:08:53. > :08:57.can be devastating. Victims are frustrated by the official response
:08:57. > :09:02.to online blackmail. There are French and Ivorian websites for
:09:02. > :09:11.reporting online crime, but the current mechanisms for
:09:11. > :09:17.international co-operation is limited. Until the distances and
:09:17. > :09:21.differences that separate the different law enforcements are a
:09:21. > :09:29.breached easily, we will continue with victims in one country,
:09:29. > :09:35.perpetrators in another, and little that we can do about it.
:09:35. > :09:41.A look at this week's taken use. There has been a mixed reaction to
:09:41. > :09:45.the launch of Apple's iPhone 5, hopes of a wholesale redesign and
:09:46. > :09:51.features like NFC capabilities were dashed. It is a faster, slightly
:09:51. > :09:56.bigger, lighter and thinner version of the 4S. It also supports 4G
:09:56. > :10:02.high-speed mobile data. Some frustration that after nine years,
:10:02. > :10:06.Apple has changed the connector in the -- and the existing accessories
:10:06. > :10:10.need an adaptor. ITunes has been upgrade it to work better with a
:10:11. > :10:18.mobile devices, and Apple has killed off its music social network,
:10:18. > :10:22.peeing. A new line-up of iPods was also announced. The most noticeable
:10:22. > :10:28.difference is that the Nano's lie Jeatt touch-screen has support for
:10:28. > :10:35.video. A network has been born that will take advantage of the new 4G
:10:35. > :10:41.ground. T-Mobile and Orange in most to create the company Everything
:10:41. > :10:49.Everywhere, and it has now launched ear mac, the first for D network. -
:10:49. > :10:54.- EE. In some cases it is faster than home broadband. New capable
:10:54. > :10:58.handsets will be needed, six is expected at launch.
:10:58. > :11:04.Finally, the US military has been showing off its latest piece of
:11:04. > :11:14.canine inspired hardware, a four Leggatt robot, called AlphaDog. It
:11:14. > :11:14.
:11:14. > :11:17.can carry up to �400 of equipment over a distance of 20 miles.
:11:17. > :11:25.AlphaDog receives its instructions from a boring old touch screen
:11:25. > :11:30.device. As we have just heard, Apple has
:11:30. > :11:35.finally released its new iPhone, the one that everybody else in the
:11:35. > :11:45.world has been talking about four months. We went along to take a
:11:45. > :11:50.
:11:50. > :11:55.closer look at it. The first thing that you notice
:11:55. > :12:01.about the iPhone fired his its weight. The peak it up, and it
:12:01. > :12:10.really makes a difference. It is like most other France on the
:12:10. > :12:15.market, whereas the older model had the extra weight. You also notice
:12:15. > :12:21.that although it is a similar design, it is slightly longer.
:12:21. > :12:27.Apple has made it the same size across, but it is a longer scream,
:12:27. > :12:34.a four inch screen rather than a 3.5 inch. The processor is twice as
:12:34. > :12:40.fast, and you can see that in the way that certain applications work.
:12:40. > :12:46.We are going into maps. We can actually rotate around, this is Big
:12:46. > :12:51.Ben in London. This is photo- realistic as we moved across the
:12:51. > :12:57.city. It is very impressive, especially with the fast processor
:12:57. > :13:04.under the accord. The other thing they had introduced, is IOS six. It
:13:04. > :13:10.is going to be big if you have got pretty much iPhone -- any iPhone
:13:11. > :13:17.from 3D as up words. One of the extra things that they have put up
:13:17. > :13:21.-- put in it, about 200 new things, this is caught passbook. Sometimes
:13:21. > :13:26.you do not know where all your coupons are all your tickets, this
:13:26. > :13:30.is a very useful place to put them all. Faced time is better quality
:13:30. > :13:36.with the camera on the front of the phone, and he now works with the
:13:36. > :13:41.cellular network. Overall it is pretty impressive. It supports 4G,
:13:41. > :13:51.which has now become common around the world, the UK has just
:13:51. > :13:57.
:13:57. > :14:01.introduced it with D, the circuit will be supported on E.ON. -- EE.
:14:01. > :14:06.There was speculation that it would include NFC, any field
:14:06. > :14:16.communication, that is not inside this handset, and there is a new

:14:17. > :14:20.conductor, taking up much less An impressive handset from Apple
:14:20. > :14:25.and it needed to be with other manufacturers bringing out some
:14:25. > :14:29.equally innovative handsets this year. But one question remains,
:14:29. > :14:34.when you look at that operating system, it is the same ones more or
:14:34. > :14:44.less that came out five years ago, certainly in looks. Increasingly
:14:44. > :14:45.
:14:45. > :14:49.more and more people asking, what Ever since the Web became big
:14:49. > :14:53.business providers of online services have become highly
:14:53. > :14:57.competitive. How quickly your search returns a result, how focus
:14:57. > :15:02.to the information is, how well the algorithm gives you exactly what
:15:02. > :15:06.you want. These are elements that help you decide whether you use one
:15:06. > :15:09.website or apps over another. We asked Sumi Das to find out how
:15:09. > :15:15.these elements are fine-tuned in the case of one particular company
:15:15. > :15:19.and it is a company that started almost with a blank page. When
