Mounties in B.C. warn 'highly convincing' scammers extorting victims with photos of their homes.

Scammers are increasingly using emails to extort money from victims by threatening to reveal compromising photos, videos and personal information to their friends and family members.

The perpetrators often send a photo of the victim's home to suggest they possess a trove of personal information about them.

Investigators say the photos are sourced from simple online searches, rather than images taken by the perpetrators.
