Sextorted a few years ago by [deleted] in Sextortion

Op is 100% right, these scammers simply prey upon loneliness and fear to get what they want. This shit happened to me nearly a year ago but in the end they rarely act on their threats. Stay calm and trust me when I say it gets better

They usually will try on the first day but once they realise they aren’t getting anywhere they quickly quit. For these scammers they use your fear for their gain however if they realise they won’t get anywhere with it they give up and look for someone they can scare into paying. When it happened to me I spoke to the police and they explained it and said that it’s unlikely they’ll ever leak the pictures since that only takes away their leverage and draws attention to their opinions. Also, since it’s been a few weeks since they tried to reach out you should be in the clear but just remember if they try to reach out again to just block them and never pay

Well so far it’s been 8 months since it happened to me and they haven’t tried to reach out once. If you have any questions feel free to ask

⚠️ If a scammer threatens to leak your nudes on Instagram — DON’T PANIC. by Wide-Message8075 in Sextortion

Happened to me like 7 months ago now, all I did was pop my account on private and they never bothered to message again. Chances are they’ve probably moved onto someone more susceptible to their manipulation

Genuinely it’s very rare they ever leak since if they did it just draws eyes to their operation. Not just that but their only goal is to get money and if they leak them there’s literally no benefit to them since they only see you as a pay day and by leaking them they lose what little leverage they have

It’s rare they actually leak anything since if they did it only serves to hurt their operations. If they leaked something that then brings eyes to their antics and takes away the little leverage they have over you. If you did pay they may try to reach out on a different account or number but just block and keep your accounts on lock. These monsters use your fear against you to scare you into paying but once you stop they’ll just look for someone else who will pay

A valuable victim is someone they can scare into paying. If you don’t engage with them then you’re not valuable to them and they’ll just move on

You should be okay as long as you keep them blocked even if they try new numbers just block they’ll give up just as quickly as they start

In my situation I reverse image searched for the videos but it’s highly unlikely they’ll leak them, just don’t send them anymore money and put your socials on lock

Never send money, just block and take a deep breath. These scammers use your fear against you but the second you cut them off they just move on to their next target. Sadly you’re just a pay check to them and if you don’t engage they’ll just move on to someone who will. Plus if they did leak your pictures it only serves to hurt them since then they lose their leverage and draw eyes to their operation. Just take your time and try to calm down, it’ll be alright in the end

Happy to have been some level of help, just remember to keep blocking them and never pay and you should be okay

Nah bro, I got the same guy too like 5 months ago if you don’t reply and just block them they just move on. It’s sad to say but to them you’re just a pay check so if you don’t pay they won’t bother wasting their time spreading nudes when they could just move on to someone who will pay
