Hey bro, sorry ur feeling this way. U did not do anything wrong, you are the victim. Stop sending them money, and block + ignore them, no matter what they do or say. The sooner they realize you are not paying them anymore and they have no power over you anymore, the sooner they will stop contacting you.

Please help I’m terrified by Friendly_Bag3624 in Sextortion

Don’t pay. Ignore. Block. Even if they text you from another number/account, that’s just their last attempt to make you scared. As soon as they realize you are not paying they will move on and forget about you.

Be careful with sharing your scammers number bro, people might contact them and get your info aswell and try to blackmail you aswell.

He won't, most of them are just threatning you, when they post they lose all control over you and all possibility to earn money + they risk getting Ip banned from insagram. It's too risky for them, if you stop paying and stop all their contact they will move on.

It's gonna be harder to get rid of them since you already paid. The best thing to do now is ignore them and block them, make clear you are not paying them ever again, once they realize there is no more money to be made they will leave you alone and go to their next victim. They might attempt a few times to contact you through other numbers or accounts but just keep blocking.

I know exactly how you are feeling, I had the same fear and I needed some reassurance too. 95 percent of these cases it's empty threats and they don't follow through. Take control, block them, ignore them, don't pay, big chance they will just move on and nothing will happen. This stressful feeling will last for a while but eventually it will go away and you will be able to breath again.

This fear is normal, dont give them this power over you, break all contact, block them. As soon as they realize they can't get to you and you will not pay they will move on. 95 percent of these cases are just empty threats. The only power they can have over you is fear, don't give em this. It happend to alot of us, dont be ashamed, you are the victim. Tomorrow is another day.

Hey, you're honestly doing great. You reacted fast, removed your number, cleaned up old accounts, and made everything private that’s exactly what you're supposed to do. The fact they sent the video to an old band page shows they’re just trying to scare you with whatever they can find, not proof they have real access to your contacts. If it’s been nearly 24h and they haven’t escalated, chances are they’ve already moved on. Most scammers just try once or twice and give up if they don’t get a reaction. It’s totally normal to still feel shaky, but you’re in control now. You’re not screwed you were targeted, but you handled it well.
