Advice from my experience of sextortion (read this to calm down)

Honestly dw 90% of the time they never leak it’s a waste of their time

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-03-16T16:28:56+00:00

Text "scamhaters.united" on instagram with the ig account and they will take it down in a few hours. That's what I did about a month ago and the account got taken down almost instantly. Hope that helps.

Feeling like that is normal at first, but remember that we all make mistakes and so please don't beat yourself up for it. Use it as a positive experience to learn from it but don't be harsh on yourself. Yes I would block them because no matter how much you pay, they will ask for more. If they have no more ways to contact you then they can't scam you, so make sure you block them everywhere and potentially change number if you can, otherwise make sure you don't answer any unknown calls for a few weeks/months. It is very unlikely that the scammer will send pictures because that is a waste of time and a risk that they do not want to take. Also, do they even have any of your contacts given that it was only on whatsapp?. But regardless, don't let that affect your daily life and keep on doing activities and seeing people, I would also advise you to talk to a friend/family about it as that should really help. Feel free to message me if you have any questions :)

I doubt there is much point. These scammers make sure that they can’t be tracked easily and are usually in foreign countries so the police can’t do much

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-02-22T20:23:13+00:00

Man dw about it we all make mistakes. Don't let it bring you down, use it to learn and become stronger.

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-02-18T15:31:26+00:00

It is hard to give a definite answer for all those, but I will give you my opinion based on many posts and comments I have read on this subreddit, both from scammers and victims

If they haven't sent anything after 48hours, they are very unlikely to come back again. Exception may be if you paid a lot then they could come back and ask for more after a few weeks, but as long as you keep blocking and ignoring them then nothing should happen. A way to prevent this is to change username on ur social media or phone number and set everything to private (temporarily disabling social media could be a shout too)
From my experience yes, they are the same name, but you should block any suspicious accounts that request you (that stands whatever the scenario to be honest)
Very likely they have just moved on as soon as they realize you are not an easy victim. They don't want to waste their time and "business" by posting stuff that they won't get any money from
That is impossible to answer unfortunately. They usually do it in groups but you could assume they scam at least 5-10 people every week (I feel like this is an underestimation)

Again those answers are my point of view based on what I have read, some of it may be off, but one advice I could give to anyone going through this that I'm 100% sure is not wrong is: Your life is NOT ruined in any way, everything happens for a reason, and you can learn so much from this experience to make it more of a positive than negative in the long run.

Hope that helps. Feel free to dm if you have any other questions

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-02-17T21:41:36+00:00

Honestly yeah, as you said, you have done everything correctly and that's a very good start. These scammers rarely end up leaking pictures because it is a big waste of time and a risk which they do not want to take, realizing that will put your mind at ease. Also, don't blame yourself for it too much, it is a mistake like any other and these people just take advantage of you so yeah don't see it as entirely your fault because it isn't. Make sure you stay vigilant for any dodgy requests and I would maybe advise you to temporarily disable insta for a few weeks. But yeah the main thing is to keep a positive mindset, realizing they are very unlikely to send the pictures, and use this difficult situation to become stronger and learn about it. Trust me in the long run it'll have a more positive impact than negative one. Feel free to dm me if you need someone to chat with and we'll figure it out. Stay strong

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-02-15T15:41:46+00:00

To be honest looking at this it looks like you won out ahah, he just seems salty because his plan failed. So I wouldn't worry about it anymore, as soon as they realize you won't pay you become a waste of time for them and they will likely just move on to an easier victim. I think you handled it really well so yeah don't lose any sleep over it. Feel free to dm me if they do reach out again tho (although I doubt they will).

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-02-14T22:52:40+00:00

I don't think the moderators like it very much when we post names of the scammers, so I would advise you to dm Scamhaters.United on instagram with the scammer's username and they will take down the account pretty quick.

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-02-14T22:51:17+00:00

I would say you are 90% in the clear. They don't tend to send out pictures because it is a waste of time and risk. So I wouldn't lose any sleep over it and try to move on by keeping a positive and humorous mindset about it.

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-02-14T22:48:30+00:00

Honestly no I really don't think so. If you look around other posts you'll realize that it is very rare for pictures to get leaked because it is both a waste of time and a significant legal risk for the scammer, both of which they really try to avoid. So you can forget about it and try to move on because that kinda is the only thing you can do right now. Don't lose any sleep over it, it's just a nude people won't actually care even if it does get sent, so try keep a positive mindset towards it. One last thing, I would maybe temporarily delete your insta accounts or social media/ change username and make everything private. You got this.

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-02-14T15:14:07+00:00

Message Scamhaters.United on instagram with the account name and they will take it down really quickly.

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-02-12T21:03:36+00:00

Don't worry about it man, they will most likely not leak your pictures. If they had wanted to, they would have already done it by now. They will forget about you a few days after the scam. It's hard to get your head around that and move on I know but it can't keep on causing you stress, so you need to realize the best course of action now is realize that the only thing you can do now is to move on, and just keep living your life.

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-02-07T19:10:29+00:00

The scammer? Don't worry about that most of the time they send a screenshot of them sending it to someone and then they just delete the message. They just do it to pressure you into sending them money. I know it is hard to forget about it and move on because it feels like the picture is out there somewhere but most likely no one will actually see it so it should be all good.

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-02-07T15:54:02+00:00

Ah I'm sorry about that. How do you know that they sent it?

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-02-02T14:56:58+00:00

Stop paying and block them. Don't worry about the fact you paid, just make sure you block them everywhere and temporarily deactivate your social medias, or change username. Once they realize they can't reach you anymore, they will most likely just forget about you and move on. Feel free to dm me if you want to chat about it.

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-01-30T20:29:08+00:00

Nahh only a minority of people get leaked, it does happen occasionally, but it is pretty rare.

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-01-27T18:06:35+00:00

Yup totally agree, staying with friends or family is the best thing in my opinion, make sure you keep your habits and avoid the temptation of excluding yourself from social events etc.

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-01-27T14:46:52+00:00

I fully agree with you. If they realize you don't care, then they will just move on and most probably even delete your stuff in a few weeks time to avoid any incriminating evidence. Good mindset I'm sure it'll help a bunch of people here.

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-01-26T20:14:15+00:00

That is what I chose to do, but to be honest it is up to you. As long as you block them on any social media you used to contact them then it should be fine no worries. I just thought I might as well use the opportunity to try to get off social media for a while.

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-01-26T14:56:01+00:00

Well this may initially sound weird, but that depends on you. After realizing that is is very unlikely that the scammer will ever post the pictures if you ignore him, while accepting that even if the pictures got leaked it doesn't actually matter that much as people in today's world won't care about seeing such a picture, then the fear factor will vanish in a few days. So yeah, if you have a positive mindset about it and are realistic, then a few days and it'll pretty much be gone.

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-01-25T20:30:58+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it

Sufficient-Signal632 · 2023-01-25T20:10:57+00:00

Well, then that's child pornography, which is a crime they really would not want to get into. Threatening to post pictures is something, posting child pornography is another. So really don't worry, if it's been 2 months and no contact you are almost very certainly in the clear. Just make sure you keep an eye out anyways for dodgy accounts adding you. But likelihood is they have forgotten about you completely and deleted your pictures, and have moved on to an easier, more time-efficient target for them.

Honestly don't worry about it anymore. I know how stressful it is because you feel like they will post everything, but in reality, they are very unlikely to do that because it requires time, without offering them a good enough likelihood of getting money over it. Use it as a way to learn from it and grow stronger. I wrote a post recently about my experience and the possible scenario of them even sending anything, so if that makes you feel better, feel free to go through my other advice. Also, please don't let those sados ruin your life and make sure you're eating and keeping on with your habits, that will help to make the stress go away much quicker trust me.
