An Aberdeen blackmailer who targets men using sugar daddy websites has been caught doing it again.
Tiffany Anderson extorted hundreds of pounds from two men by threatening to expose their use of adult dating websites to their wives and girlfriends.
The 25-year-old blackmailed the pair into giving her nearly £700, while also threatening to reveal “adult content” that had been exchanged with her.
Her latest extortion scheme came just months after she was sentenced at Aberdeen Sheriff Court for extracting £1,300 from four men using the same swindle.
On that occasion, one of her victims stumped up around £600 to prevent his girlfriend from discovering he had joined an adults-only site.
Put men in ‘state of alarm’
Today at Aberdeen Sheriff Court Anderson admitted two charges of extortion by placing her victims in a “state of alarm and apprehension” by threatening to disclose their use of an adult dating website to their friends and families.
Between June 20 and June 22 2021, Anderson blackmailed one man into paying her £520, while a second man was duped into paying her £150 on September 26 2021.
Anderson’s solicitor, Alex Burn, made no plea on his client’s behalf and called for reports to be carried out on her background.
Sheriff Morag Fraser deferred sentence on Anderson, of Spital, Aberdeen, until next month in order for a criminal justice social work report and a restriction of liberty order assessment to be carried out.
Details of how she carried out her extortion are expected to be disclosed during that hearing.
During her previous scam, Anderson set up fake profiles on Secretbenefits.com and Seeking.com before exchanging mobile phone numbers with those who made contact.
She would then offer the men videos and photos of a sexual nature and, if they accepted, use their messages against them to extort money.
Anderson sent screenshots of their friends and family’s Facebook pages along with a threat: “Don’t even think about blocking me.”
Upon being sentenced on July 20 2021, the court heard how in July 2019 Anderson created a fake profile on Secret Benefits – which calls itself “a dating site for generous men and attractive women”.
She then targetted one married man, who sent her £30 in exchange for photos of a sexual nature.
Once the cash was received Anderson messaged her victim, warning he “shouldn’t be cheating on his wife” and demand £200 to stop her from sharing their intimate messages and conversations with his Facebook friends.
The man paid a total of £250 before blocking her from contacting him on WhatsApp.
Accused to be sentenced next month
On another occasion, in December 2019, she sent messages of a similar nature to a user of the sugar daddy website Seeking.com.
This time her offer to send intimate videos was refused – but the man stated he would rather meet in person and suggested they carry out a sexual act.
Anderson then sent him a screenshot of that message back to him, followed by screenshots of his Facebook page and a demand for £100.
