Blackmail is a different term for extortion, but in Qld at least the offence is extortion. There is no offence for blackmail.

Fair enough, hadn't heard that comment, only the channel 7 reporting with the audio of the call, which by itself doesn't equal extortion. But if in the video he demanded payment OR he'd ruin a player's career, again as I've already said no problem. It certainly is extortion.
Fraud is a lot more than that...

From the angle and quality of the video it doesn't look like any Brisbane Broncos player.

I spoke to a journalist mate of mine who has seen the video and although he can make out who it is, the footage is that grainy and of poor quality that if he was ever named, he'd have you for slander and damages as there is no way it could ever be proven beyond reasonable doubt that it was in fact him. This is why nobody has bothered paying money for the video.
