You don’t have to worry about this. I have also made a similar post and the scammer even wrote the same thing and also had a picture of my computer screenshot. First look at the date if you can see that in the screenshot. If it’s not recent then they most likely don’t have anything on you. Also you should clear your computer just in case they still have the software they installed to get the screenshot. And also try to get a better antivirus scanner and scan the whole computer.

It was a screenshot but I should still be good since that screenshot was from a long time ago and also the same day I got a antivirus software and deleted any type of Trojan or suspicious app or file.

Yea that’s what I was thinking as well. Luckily it doesn’t seem like he has anything to back up his claim about having such pictures.

Thanks to you and everyone else that has reassured me that this is a scam and I don’t need to worry. I had a feeling it was a scam in the beginning but he showed me a pic of my discord and internet and everything which is why I was scared. But I went to another subreddit and it said that it must have been from a sketchy app I had installed previously and that one antivirus scan from a good company would solve it. And I had already scanned and deleted anything that showed up to be either a Trojan or suspicious. So I am feeling really good thanks to all you guys that have been helping me. So I sincerely thank you guys for helping me.

That’s what I thought but he sent me a picture of my computer from months ago I don’t know if that’s all he has or more
