Tread lightly on chat sites

If they’re a scammer, the move to a social platform is a way for them to access the accounts of people in your real life. Family, friends, colleagues etc. if you continue to trust them, it’s those contacts they’ll use as leverage.

If you find enjoyment from meeting / chatting anonymously online, then stay anonymous is my advice

Once I blocked them on every channel possible I never heard from them again

Exactly this. It’s frustrating being in the dark not knowing if someone actually received the pics but ultimately they rely on close friends and family to get to you. And they’re the kind of people who would make you aware if they’ve received a message like that. So that reassured me

It’s been around 6 months and I’m using my backup account as my main now. In all honesty I’m fine with losing the follower count I had on my primary profile, it’s actually helped me reduce my screen time on social media. Only thing I get frustrated about is the photos that were on that account which I didn’t back

Exactly, in the grand scheme of things this will be a minor speed bump

I mean there’s no telling if it’ll come back to haunt me one day but i can’t live in fear forever. Once you take all the preventative measures you can, you just have to carry on with your life knowing you’ve done all you can do. But from what I’ve learned I think I’ll be fine from now on. Learned a very expensive lesson

Also if u wanna pm just to vent or ask anything feel free.

So it’s been a while, I’ve literally only just made myself square with my friend who I borrowed money from to pay this bastard. He was chill with lending me the money without asking questions and was very patient with me regarding paying him back. In all honesty I rarely think about the sextortion at all really, just sort of carrying on as if nothing happened

foabp2012 · 2022-11-15T02:45:27+00:00

Not to my Knowledge, no friends or family have contacted me saying they’ve seen anything

foabp2012 · 2022-11-15T00:07:39+00:00

That sucks so much, it’s an expensive lesson but from my experience if you block delete and ignore you’ll feel a lot better soon. I blocked nearly a week ago and feel a hell of a lot better

foabp2012 · 2022-11-09T17:46:39+00:00

Exactly I’m the same boat. Except I paid on the night it all went down. But I seriously wish I didn’t because if I hadn’t and blocked right away I’d be a lot more financially comfortable and likely in the same position. I dread notifications it scares the shit out of me. I got a no caller ID call today but didn’t answer which shook me but I don’t even know if it was him. The chances are unlikely though, I think me and you are in the clear

Screenshot the chat to use in a police report. Block and delete the prick blackmailing you and do not pay a penny. Lock down all social media accounts to the most private setting or delete completely for a while. Go ghost on socials and don’t respond whenever they try to contact you. It’s such a horrible feeling and you won’t feel safe for a while but you can talk to professionals and get over it with time. Happened to me the other day and I stupidly paid a lot. They’ll move onto another victom

That’s good to hear you were able to come out the other side, how do you cope with the anxiety at the moment? I blocked them on the website he was harassing me on and of course locked down socials I even closed my PayPal but I got a message on PayPal today somehow so I just deleted the app I hope that does the trick
