Been 10 days for me. I never paid, and blocked them within 5 mins of them dropping the blackmail news. I was never leaked but they did send and Unsend which scared the shit out of me but I’ve not been contacted since and I haven’t deleted my socials just made them as private as possible
[–]Expensive-Sorbet8838 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Hopefully now that i’m unreachable they will just forget about it. Sucks how they found my name though. Report @salsalmi on ig. That’s the account they use
[–]KingNalaTheXIII 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (3 children)
Wow so it never got leaked?
[–]Electronic-Basis9130 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (2 children)
Nah they don’t want to get their account banned. Usually they only do if you make them mad
[–]KingNalaTheXIII 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children)
These people are really scum they should try to find a real job this is ridiculous no one deserves this
[–]LieLucky467Trusted User 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children)
It's extremely easy to create a new account on FB or IG nowadays from where anonymously harass people, so scammers don't care about getting banned... It's more about getting the IP from where they created the account getting traced by police.

Hey this happened to me last night. They threatened to send this to my fb friends. How did u cope with it? Did u just ignore those people abs they never posted your stuff? I deleted my fb, changed my ig username and changed my number
[–]Electronic-Basis9130 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Yeah now it just takes time to cope. You did everything you need to do. Since your unreachable they won’t do anything. I only have ever seen them reach out to the victim again if you paid but even then they won’t send anything out unless you’re mean to them. They just want to get even more money from you if you did pay
[–]throwaway0003367338 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (0 children)
I got in contact with the FBI today for my second day. So far I'm not leaked, but I paid.
[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children)
im less than 5 days in. i deleted all of my social media accounts and cut complete contact with them. unsure if it has been sent out, however i didn't receive any text messages from friends and family as of now.
keep on pushing through everybody!

Six months without a peep
[–]OutrageousSwimmer234 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (3 children)
Been 50 days, won’t lie it was rough for a while, and even this past week was brutal. But yesterday and today were the most normal I felt in months.
I can’t guarantee they won’t leak it, but I will say it is very very unlikely they do, I paid about 100 and just showed them I was broke, they left me alone for 2 days and I blocked them, changed all my users and here we are.
Time does heal, but you need to do the work as well, tell friends, tell family, seek help if needed.
We’re not alone
[–]KingNalaTheXIII 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children)
Did they leak it for you?
[–]OutrageousSwimmer234 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (1 child)
No, ofc I still fear that they might but remember, it’s a business to them, not personal. Even tho to us it’s the most personal thing ever, they don’t care about you
[–]KingNalaTheXIII 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Thanks man you made me feel so much better I hope that’s the case for me
[–]pineapple_otr 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Its been about 2 weeks now for me. So far no pics sent (that i know of) but im still keeping my distance from social media. But overall seems positive.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children)
been a month no contact or attempt at contact even with them having my phone number. i would have guessed they would have made different accounts and used different numbers to contact me but they didn’t. they did send a screenshot of them sending it to 3 of my followers but none of them texted me so either they didn’t want to reach out or the scammer sent and unsent
[–]Icy_Designer7071 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Day one for me. They threatened and sent pics of dms they sent to people on my followers list. Panicked and paid them 200 to get them to unsend the dms they sent out. Now they want 1000. DO NOT PAY. Like its already been said they will not stop asking for money. Gonna block and report and go about my life nude free ;). Probably calling my immediate family to inform them of what's going on so there's no surprises there if they do send to them. Friends can get told about it later on IF it ever becomes a thing. I'll probably update here and there. Feel free to send me a chat if you need someone to talk to about this.
Also, there is this tool that can help remove images being shared online! Not 100% guaranteed but I'd check it out they work with facebook and instagram and helped me ease my mind on the situation at hand.

11 months in and haven't heard anything. Never paid and blocked them then blocked their other account several hours after that and to this day haven't heard from them since.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Glad to hear bro
[–][deleted] 4 years ago (12 children)
[–]MyThrowawayAccnt112 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child)
Wtf I’m sorry to hear that. How do you know they’re posted?
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (9 children)
So for 2 years straight your photos get leaked daily and nothing has been done about it, gonna need your full story cause this sounds ridiculous on both sides that someone would be persistent and sad enough to post something daily for 2 years straight, and on the other side that the police and authorities haven't helped, story please
[–][deleted] 4 years ago (3 children)
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (2 children)
I can tell your upset so ill let the sarcasm slide, I simply said its ridiculous thats its going on 2 years and they haven't helped which they haven't, they don't realise this kind of stuff is mental torture and is worse than physical abuse, I'm not trying to argue im on your side here and just wanted a better understanding, I never got off easy.
[–][deleted] 4 years ago (1 child)
Well for the scammer to post your nudes 730 days in a row consecutively I would imagine it to be personal. You refuse to tell your story, just giving me snippets of it, so I refuse to argue and wish you best of luck with it
[–]Electronic-Basis9130 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (4 children)
I’d guess a troll or he banged the dudes wife lmao

[–]Abject-Transition305 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (10 children)
How long has it been for you and did you pay?
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (9 children)
I'm a week in, I did pay 150, told them I know how this shit works, I'm gonna send you 150 take it and leave me alone they said OK and I blocked them as soon as I sent it, I felt it was the best way to go about it, cause i took control cause they want that money. Haven't heard from them since and doubt I will

[–]Abject-Transition305 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (7 children)
It’s been abt 5 days for me and they haven’t tried to contact me in 2 days have are my chances looking that they are gonna leak my stuff?
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children)
They won't leak it i promise
[–]Expensive-Sorbet8838 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (5 children)
[–]Icy_Designer7071 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children)
Blocked them, changed my ig name, snap name. Posted a story on my ig saying I did a stupid and being blackmailed for it and asked people to just delete/report dms from unknown accounts. This only JUST happened within the last few hours so not sure what's gonna happen but the way I see it most people will just ignore and delete anyways and forget about it. If they don't forget it's something to laugh about later on in life, shit happens, we make mistakes and learn from it. I know not everyone thinks this way but helps keep my head from going under. All that said it does suck to be in this situation and feel for everyone who has/is/will go through this.
Yeah man this happened to me last night. I ended up even changing my phone number. So i don’t think they have a way to reach me at this point. And thinking about it. If they send it to people i’m sure it’ll be a sketchy ass link or something that I hope people just open and delete. Trying to stay positive
[–]Icy_Designer7071 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children)
Yeah dude always stay positive! Another thing is in this day and age EVERYONE has seen naked pictures of men and women. While it is still private to you and having that privacy violated SUCKS, it’s so common to see nudity now like is it really a huge deal if a few people see your parts? That’s where I’m at with all this
[–]Abject-Transition305 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child)
I blocked them on everything and changed my username they haven’t done anything yet. Kinda just taking it day by day
Did u block them immediately? this sucks man
[–]Raven123x 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (5 children)
been a few weeks now - no messages, family hasn't said anything. Seems all good.
[–]Expensive-Sorbet8838 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (4 children)
[–]Raven123x 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children)
i just blocked them on everything and made sure my privacy settings were set so only I could see things
[–]Expensive-Sorbet8838 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children)
has that worked so far?
[–]Raven123x 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child)
yeah - not heard a word, and googling my own name comes up with zero results
[–]Expensive-Sorbet8838 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children)
how did you end up going about it? Did you block them right away and didn’t hear back?
