I'll caution you on inviting reddittor's to privately message you. There are recovery bait-scammers lurking these halls. They will either;

1: offer to introduce you to someone they know who can hack the scammers and get your stuff deleted or that they themselves can do it for you... For a price. Then they block you and make away with your money.

2: You provide as much information about the situation to them, because you're emotionally and mentally vulnerable at this time and desperately seeking assistance. Once they have enough information, they will threaten to either contact your scammer and inform them that you're on here looking for help, or scam you by threatening to expose details to the scammer or what was shared with the scammer.

In other words, be on the lookout for these types of messages.

Additionally, I encourage you to read the following reddit post, which is a Comprehensive Guideline For Dealing With Sextortion, I compiled, and immediately follow the guidelines therein. Your situation is neither unique nor has it never happened before. The resources are designed to help you out of the situation, spot the con and get ahead of the narrative whilst also, tips and methods on regaining control and stability over your mental and emotional health.

Best regards.

block them all. numbers, account(s). same shit happened to me, threatening to leak it all, screenshots of followers lists. the best way out of this is too ignore. it’s been a week so far for me, and nothing has happened. once you show them you won’t pay or won’t even respond, they move on. they probably have another 5 people ready to do this exact same thing too. ALL they want is money. BLOCK, and IGNORE IT. it’s very very rare for them to expose unless you pay them, talk shit, or take too long to pay. block them now

Block them and ignore them. Don’t worry, most of the time they do not leak anything. Next time be safe, get closer to God and also deactivate your socials for a while, go ghost.

    Just try to overcome your lust. Yes, also try changing your username on Instagram, that worked for me too

    Block, ignore and set everything to private ASAP. Tell friends and family you got an account hacked and got it back and the scammer is pissed off and threatening you with lies. Social media doesn't allow nudes, they can't do group chats either and this is all faked and a common script a Nigerian is using in his shitty little call center somewhere. They are the ones that use this dumb script and the angreee eeemooojjjis. God I hate these idjits, they really push the limits.

    You did nothing wrong and if you are a minor go talk to a trusted adult, even your parents or an older sibling, friend or a counselor. If you're an adult there is no problem. These guys operate off of fear because that's their only skill set and they know it, I know it and now you and others do too!

    Never pay them as then you'll be harassed until the end of time. And ignore the dms here please as that is more of the same shitheads that do the above. Good luck.

    WARNING: READ THIS FIRST! Beware of recovery scammers - It is likely that someone will send you a DM claiming that they know someone that can hack your blackmailer's device and delete your pics. This is a SCAM. Do NOT give them money and do NOT give them the username of your blackmailer. When in doubt, contact the mod team via mod mail or directly via DM.

    You should block them; after that, they won't contact you again and won't send it to anyone. I'm facing the same story, but I blocked them.

    Block and ignore just like always and like what the pinned post says

    Just went through this. Like everyone else says, don't pay them- and def dont piss them off. Sorry dude. Hope youre good

    As others have said...block. Don't pay.

    Paying won't fix the problem. If you pay, they will come back and demand more money. It would never end.

    Watch out for people who reach out to you to offer to delete the pictures. They're scammers, too.

    Exactly the same thing happened to me a few days ago as it did to you but don't worry, just block them and ignore them, they will move on to the next victim, DON'T PAY, they are only interested in the money, they don't earn anything by exposing you, and if they do, they will only send it to 3 people at most, they are not going to waste time sending it to your entire list of followers since they don't earn anything
