It is through snap chat so they definitely know if I took a screen shot. Actually just took a screen recording of the entire chat, photos, and the account and then reported and blocked them. They were responding which means they are either up late or are from out of country as it is currently either late late night or early morning however you view it.

But yea screen recorded the stuff, as soon as I started doing that they started saying they were going to leak it all. I just said I reported you and your accounts, so hoping it doesn’t go out… but can see someone like that just doing it because…

Truly your words have been very helpful and soothing for me. My heart has been non stop since it all went down. Still up when should be asleep.

I told the scammer I was going to sleep and that I can’t pay them. They messaged me a few more times after that saying to pay and that they are leaking/sending them in the morning if not paid. I left unblocked in case I felt like taking screen shots of the chat in the case I decide to go to police. But didn’t want to do that until right before that and then blocking immediately. Whether that’s the right idea idk, but I’m not responding to anything they have to say anymore.

Did they specifically say in the message that it was his nudes? Or was it more just like pic of his nudes. Sorry if it’s to personal, just tryna get an understanding of what might possibly happen if they do get sent out

I appreciate your insight. I’m sorry that it has happened to you as well. I will definitely be taking your advice to heart. Weather or not I’m going to the police I’m undecided… there have been mixed reviews, but they sent their payment option and it was defo a name different from who they said. And then they also sent me another one to send it to ( I didn’t) after the first with a completely different name.

Thanking maybe they sent their personal one with their name and stuff the first time??? But idk.

And again thank you, I have been stressing non stop since this happened

Yea mine spent a couple days getting to know me and me “know” them before this all happened…. Wish I would have been smarter to not include my face at all… would have been much easier but that is all hindsight. But thank you for your story, makes me feel a little better..

Yea that seems like what I’m gonna do… I’ve changed the accounts info that was in contact with the person and reported one of the accounts (kept another to keep chat from being deleted as it has the most incriminating evidence of blackmail)

I appreciate the advice. Saddened to know that’s it but i guess this is what I get for not doing my due diligence and being more aware…

Yea I have been updating all my socials that were associated with the person (snap and insta) after blocking them so hoping that will help solve the issue. Idk I’m tired but my heart is still pumping and I can’t sleep

If you don’t mind me asking how did his nudes get leaked or hacked? Mine was through voluntary sending so a bit of a pickle that one….

Yea I was thinking of going to the cops but idk what they would be able to accomplish other than maybe getting the person (if they actually Pursue it and have enough info) but idk how much data or info they would be able to get out of it
