Bewitching, but may have dental problems.
According to an investigation being handled by the Izmir public
prosecutor, a blackmail incident occurred at a hotel in Pendik,
Istanbul, in August of this year. The story began last March when
veterinarian E.S. received a call from "Peri" (fairy), a.k.a. Nurper E.,
who said she was seeking aid for handicapped children on behalf of
the Bilinpa Danışmanlık company and asked E.S. if he would like to
buy theater tickets to support the cause.
E.S. then sent 300 TL (about $30) to the company's bank account
but he received a call from another woman a few days later who
claimed to be from the same company. In all, E.S. ended up sending
5,000 TL to the account. Next, after the Izmir earthquake, Nurper
hanım called E.S. again, asking for an aid contribution.
After they chatted, E.S. noticed that Nurper hanım had changed her
profile photo on WhatsApp. E.S. sent a message to Nurper hanım,
writing "your profile picture is nice. If I was younger I'd like to take
a chance with you." In response, Nurper hanım wrote "what's stopping
you?" E.S. explained that he is married and 25 years older than Nurper
hanım, who said in reply that the age difference was no obstacle. (!)
As events proceeded, Nurper hanım kept asking E.S. for more money
for various reasons: to start a business, buy a car, get a filing in her
tooth (!). Each time E.S. responded by sending her money. Then,
Nurper hanım asked E.S. for money for a new cellphone, telling E.S.
"let's buy it with your credit card and I'll pay the monthly payments."
So, she bought two new cellphones for herself, each one costing
16,300 TL, and some jewelry, promising E.S. that she would repay him.
In making the accusation of blackmail, E.S. submitted records showing
that he sent 170,000 TL to Nurper hanım's bank account. The basis of
the blackmail, though, involved E.S. and Nurper hanım meeting in a
hotel room in Pendik, Istanbul, in August, when Nurper hanım secretly
recorded their tryst. At 3 o'clock in the morning, Nurper hanım was
called by "her aunt" so she went to the hotel lobby and subsequently
sent E.S. a message, which included the video she took of their tryst. (!)
In her message to E.S., Nurper hanım wrote that "I'm going to buy an
electric car for my sibling. Send me your credit card information."
E.S. demurred but Nurper hanım doubled down, telling him that she
would put the damning video on the internet. E.S. declared that "this
is blackmail!" but Nurper hanım was unmoved, telling E.S. "send me
100,000 TL and I'll erase the video. Otherwise, your children will be
watching you on YouTube." E.S. again refused, so minutes later Nurper
hanım posted the video and E.S.'s telephone number on an Instagram
account she opened.
Handicapped Kids' fairy godfather Canbay.
As the consequence of all this, E.S. filed a criminal complaint against
Nurper hanım with the Izmir public prosecutor. Hürriyet called Nurper
hanım for a comment but she declined to make one. Hürriyet also
contacted Murat Canbay, who owns the Bilinpa Danışmanlık company.
Canbay said that he owns a call center that organizes theater plays on
behalf of handicapped children but he refused to confirm whether or not
the company has permission to collect contributions. Neither would
Canbay explain what the money that people like E.S. send is used for,
saying only that "we're organizing aid with a theater company." But
there is no such theater company active. (!)
