Yes, this method is commonly known as "honey trap(ping)".

The probably most well known example of the use of a honey trap would be the case of Mordechai Vanunu, the Israeli nuclear technician who became the whistleblower who unveiled the secret Israeli nuclear arms program. While he was trying to sell his story, he was in Australia. Since the Israelis did not want to cause diplomatic trouble with Australia, they decided to use Vanunu's well known loneliness and sent a female agent to pose as an American tourist and befriend him.

The agent then convinced Vanunu to travel with her to Rome, where three other Mossad agents were waiting for them in an apartment, overpowered Vanunu as soon as he and the honey trap entered and kidnapped him to Israel, where he was tried and subsequently imprisoned.
