Recently, a brand-new kind of scam has emerged on social media. You should be cautious before clicking on any posts that cite the “ChiChi Call” viral video or a leaked video call featuring Vera Hill.
These posts are a component of a cybercrime operation and seem to allude to a scandal involving a Filipino influencer.
The alleged “ChiChi leaked video call” is a Ghost File scam that aims to obtain consumers’ private data.
The “ChiChi Call” fad reportedly centers on a made-up dispute that targets Vera Hill, a well known travel and lifestyle influencer from Siargao, Philippines, who goes by the online persona ChiChi. No authentic video of any purported scandal can be found online.
Clips making the rounds on sites like Reddit, Facebook, Telegram, and TikTok are either badly altered bait content or irrelevant lookalike films, according to cybersecurity specialists and fact checkers.
According to reports, the syndicate responsible for this scam has previously used the fictitious Pinay Gold Medalist moniker to launch a similar Ghost File operation against Zyan Cabrera.
When an unsuspecting user clicks on these links, they are redirected to a spoofed streaming page. At this stage:
- The user’s IP address may be captured instantly.
- They may be pushed to a fake Facebook “age verification” login page.
- They may be redirected to a credential phishing page.
- They may be prompted to install a browser plugin, which is actually malware.
Such malware can log keystrokes and potentially compromise sensitive information, including banking credentials.
Users should be alert to the following red flags:
- A Facebook login prompt claiming age verification.
- Redirect loops through multiple URLs before any content appears.
- Prompts asking you to Install plugin to watch this is malware, not a legitimate video player.
- Avoid interacting with suspicious links or downloading unknown extensions.
Creating, distributing, or sharing non-consensual intimate content or deepfakes is a serious offence in India under the Information Technology Act, 2000 (as amended) and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
