Man ‘a victim of webcam honey trap scam’

A care worker who claims he is the victim of a forged webcam honey trap scam is seeking a High Court injunction preventing his dismissal.

The man, who works for a private care home provider, says he was summarily dismissed last Monday after two co-workers complained about him after they claimed they saw him engaging in a sexual act posted on Facebook.

He says the video was forged and posted by someone attempting to blackmail him in what is known as the internet honey trap scam.
