The FBI has recently adopted a novel investigative technique: posting
hyperlinks that purport to be illegal videos of minors having sex, and
then raiding the homes of anyone willing to click on them. 

Undercover FBI agents used this hyperlink-enticement technique, which
directed Internet users to a clandestine government server, to stage
armed raids of homes in Pennsylvania, New York, and Nevada last year.
The supposed video files actually were gibberish and contained no
illegal images.
