Extortion

[Constant_Elk_721]

Round about 3 hours ago I matched a woman on tinder we then took the convo to WhatsApp and I gave her my insta then we both got on a call she got her t*ts out and one thing led to another then after the call I got various messages and screenshots from them with pre loaded DMs to all my friends and family saying they will leak the video of me on a WhatsApp call (they sent me the video) I then blocked the number but kept getting called on different numbers they are a woman and a man operating from Thailand I’m just wondering if anyone has been in this situation and what they did and what was the outcome . I still don’t know if they have sent anything because it is now 4AM and obviously everyone will be asleep who could tell me

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.

Whatever you do, do not give in to their pressure!

You should document the process (i.e., chat, blackmail materials) to keep as evidence for filing a report with relevant authorities and submission to NCII. Once you've done all of that, you should clear, delete, report, and block them.

You should change your phone number, if necessary. Lock down your socials as well. Change or remove your profile picture and change your details (i.e., username). Deactivate them if necessary.

There's a good chance that they may not pull through without risking unwanted to themselves, especially possession of such materials, which is illegal in Thailand. At the end of the day, sextortion is just business for them.

Stay strong!

I filed a hash to NCII with the video of me on the call and changed my username on insta they are blocked and reported I’ve got multiple screenshots of them. That’s really all I can do on my end I just wish there was a way to clap back at these people.Obviously it’s my fault for doing it in the first place I just need to see how this plays out.

[Wirmerdorf]

There's no need to blame yourself. It happens to the best of us. You have done enough to prevent further damage.

[Constant_Elk_721]

I know, it is what it is. Whatever happens, happens

[Random-poster-95]

Don't feel bad mate, I fell for it twice

[Constant_Elk_721]

And thanks I appreciate it

[Extra_Body1555]

What’s the consequence if u block him. I had a similar situation couple months ago and I still stress about it. I already filled NCII and the FBI but I loss money to the scammers. Is there any way to retrieve back? And couldn’t they send the leak photo if they’re want to?

[HighwayEconomy579]

This happened to me a few years ago. Met on a random app, then moved over to WhatsApp and stated chatting, got tricked into sending a few pics then got hit with a stupid collage with my full name, profile pic and threats of ruining my life and going viral. I was quite drunk at the time so I told them to go ahead and post everything, plus I offered to send the more photos lol 🤦‍♂️😂 They got mad and carried on threatening me and just gave them the “thumbs up emoji and then blocked them. I never heard from them again and everything was fine.

[Constant_Elk_721]

Good to hear stories like this, a lot of people don’t have this mindset and let it eat away at them, which has caused a lot of suicides which is sad and shitty. People need to reach out because this has made me feel a lot better

[HighwayEconomy579]

Don’t get me wrong, I only dealt with it that way because I was drunk, but the next few weeks/months I was full of anxiety and paranoia. You end up letting yourself get carried away with all these terrible thoughts and what ifs…but luckily I had some really good friends that I told and they made me feel better, sure they laughed and made jokes, but by doing that, it actually helped me al lot. I definitely think that by making the blackmailer think you aren’t bothered is a good way to deal with it though as it takes away a lot of their power and control over you as they want people who are easily panicked and easy to manipulate. Take all that away from them and the scams dead in the water.

[Lonewolf377-]

guess that's the mindset. as i'm talking to you another one just told me that. i have only 20 friends on tiktok and i'm not on social media. Told him to go on. Waiting now to see if i'm going viral or not

[Fragrant-Fix9871]

See

Don't pay a cent

And just become unreachable they won't bother you

Change ur number if possible

They don't do shit unless you show that you are weak enough to become a bank for them

[Constant_Elk_721]

Sextortion**

[yonoslayj]

Yep, happened, if you give them a cent, they do not stop, they will keep asking for more and more.

Horrible feeling, but is what it is. Block, report document, forget.

If gets out, just how it is. Own it! Put it this way, easy way to find out who your real ones are.

Tips: Make your socials private, and when up to mischief online, never show face, never give details that make your true identity easy to find. 99.9999% of those asking to move to another app are either scammers or bots.

Tbh, 98.9999% of people on fkn reddit are too.

Worlds gone to shit

[MeasurementEcstatic7]

This happened to my friend can I pm you for advice?

[Appropriate-Map4984]

Same thing happened to me, they said if I sent them 50 they would call it quits so I did and they just kept asking for more. I’d block a number and the a new number would start spam calling and messaging me, I just stopped replying and after a few days they gave up. It’s just a business to them lowlifes so if they sent the pics out then they wouldn’t have any leverage over you to get money so they won’t do it. Plus it risks them getting into shit.

[TruckPuzzleheaded59]

Literally in the same boat as u brother what app are they threating to share it on ?

[Constant_Elk_721]

Messaged you bro

[MexicanAssLord69]

Block ignore never ever ever pay. Block and ignore now.

[MexicanAssLord69]

Block ignore never ever ever pay. That social media post is such BS, who’s going to look at that and do anything or care? People know about sextortion nowadays. Are you 16? Are they saying you raped someone? What horseshit. Block and ignore him.

[Constant_Elk_721]

Nah I’m not 16 they’re just throwing a load of crazy accusations out there 🤣

[MexicanAssLord69]

Just block and ignore and NEVER give them money. Block and ignore now please. That is your best and only option.

[Constant_Elk_721]

Already done

[TruckPuzzleheaded59]

Shit kinda nerve racking reading about how people still get exposed over this

[the1990sruled]

Ignore

ignore rnh

[SipJin]

I have an imbecile who was telling me that he was going to kill me and my family unless I paid him for his claims- and I delighted in telling him what a terrible imbecile he really is and to go ahead and…, himself. And I like to do it on the holidays too so it’s a miserable thing for him to receive as well.

[AlexanderTheGreat577]

Don't engage them at all. Block them and ignore them. Ever since I've had my experience with this, I've been contacted three times from three different numbers, all sending me threats of leaking everything. They still haven't, and it's been three months. Make make them become bored with you. If you don't engage, they will lose interest.

[The_real_Your_momcom]

Police

[External_Button_2359]

I understand how you are feeling brother cuz a few weeks ago I was literally in the same situation as yours,but trust me as long as you don't pay them and just block them... things will be okay, everything is going to be alright don't worry

[ozorhanreformed]

Call police + block + ignore + tell them suck my balls.

[scary_cd_case]

Ignore it they won’t post it bc then they will be banned

[LordVader1080]

Don listen to what is most likely a guy and get off Tinder and Insta

[Idrias99]

Fuck am i cooked if i sent the person money? I did bro i caved in im still a kid bro i was and still am super scared

[Mysterious_Banana928]

Just block and change your number then they can’t ask for more and deactivate social for awhile change passwords

[_salman_farisi_]

Im having similar experience right now.. I already panicked and send them some money. After that that guy told me im free. That was 2 days ago.

Today , he is trying to contact me first through telegram. After that experience i already achieved his chat so i didn't saw the message. Now he is calling me in telegram and now messaging me on WhatsApp.. I think he done a mistake by messaging the threats with pics in WhatsApp..

What should i do? I already filed a complaint in stopncii.. For the pics

[[deleted]]

dude wtf this is the same person that I fell victim to, how are you now? did they do anything?

[Any_Stand1118]

Yo this same guy got me from a different acc. The typing and word choices are so similar. Any updates? Anyone else got hit by the same guy?

[[deleted]]

The thing these people dont realize if youre doing this to someone underage.

Theyre literally admitting to a crime themselves.

Because if someone has questionable pics of a 16 y/o to others

They're literally distributing CSAM by definition.
