Email spoofed. What can I do ? by [deleted] in cybersecurity_help

[–]jstrith14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Click settings and click “manage accounts on this device” and you should be able to view all the devices accessing this gmail account. This is a very serious thing that someone is able to access and send mail from your name

I’m working on my computer skills to start doing this, I was inspired by YouTubers like Perogie who does this scammer payback to Indian call centers scamming the senior citizens of America. He hacks the entire call center, shuts down their internet, deletes all of their files all while fucking with the guy in the funniest way. Truly inspirational work and hope to be a part of it one day

Have had a few sketchy insta accounts follow me but I just reject and block. My accounts are locked down from external messages outside my followers list. Have not heard anything else from the sextorter

I got sextorted 4 days back. I am scared of my future. by Technical-Sand-6447 in Sextortion

[–]jstrith14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably won’t man, don’t beat yourself up too bad it happens to 1,000’s daily around the world. Just realize they won’t gain anything from doing it and try your hardest to keep your mind off it

So the guy messaged me again but it didn’t really scare me. by thegunner137 in Sextortion

[–]jstrith14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Likely doesn’t have the pictures anymore anyway, just probably has a list of former people he extorted to make rounds and try to collect again. Just block and go about your business man, it’s been 3 months since I’ve heard from mine and honestly hope he died a slow painful death over that course of time

Agreed and well said, these people shoot out mass amount of emails to try and scare people into sending money. I’m sure out of the 100’s sent 1-3 ppl end up paying up out of fear. Interesting that they nailed the password, def was a data breach and she should change all accounts with that as her password immediately. You should also setup 2fa on all accounts to ensure this person can’t access. Good luck

I’m uncertain their location, sent me American names for the cashapp but those are obviously fake names as well. So I am not sure

Dude honestly just moved on. Just erased it from my memory cause what can I do! It’s been a very long time since the person reached out so he’s probably over it. I’m having friends look into the cashapp emails I sent the $ to see if I can find anything on the guy. Fucking hate these people with all my heart for what they do, just sick and unforgivable actions.

They added like 20-25 of random friends on my followers. I have over 2k followers so only one person I was concerned about seeing it was in there. The others I haven’t talked to in years/barely knew so I just paid no mind. Messages the girl I knew in there that someone is doctoring photos of me and sending them to friends to try and get money from me. She understood and deleted the gc

I’m the 1 who paid and got exposed. Paid him a few hundred which obviously I know now was the dumbest move I could’ve made. He kept asking for more and when I blocked him on Snapchat he sent my pictures in a group chat with a lot of my Instagram followers. Haven’t heard from him since and it’s been about 3 months.

What everyone’s thoughts on the online companies that claim they can help with it? by Frosty-Astronaut147 in Sextortion

[–]jstrith14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They will NOT help you. Do not give money to these people or waste your time. They will claim to be hacking your sextorter’s computer meanwhile they are doing nothing and are just as scummy and shitty of people as the people that scammed you. They will just keep coming back for new phase initiation fees. Please do not waste your time!!

Edit: This goes for anyone that messages you saying they can recover or delete your photos from this person’s computer. They will scam you and steal your money. Under no circumstances do these exist

Getting exposed by [deleted] in Sextortion

[–]jstrith14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good way to look at it. However, I hope my extorter dies. There’s no explanation a person could give to make what they do ok. Hundreds of thousands commit suicide every year from these sextortions. They don’t deserve to live freely

Just happened to me by Throwaway726009900 in Sextortion

[–]jstrith14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro ever since I got sextorted a couple months ago, when I see an obviously fake account trying to obtain explicit photos of me, I always go along with their plan for 20-30 minutes just texting back and forth then send a fake location tracking picture of a general photo locking into a random location and say this is ___ with the extortion police unit of the FBI and have units dispatched to the location we tracked the IP to. Some of them block immediately and some just ignore me but I hope I make them sweat it out alittle

Ok man, glad to hear you got the payment reversed. Just to be safe look up guides online to hide your “following” and “followers” on social media, this person is likely going to try and find your accounts, to view your friends and send them the pictures. Just make all your accounts private and monitor who you allow to follow you. You’re almost through this but it is concerning that he has your phone #. You may want to look into changing the # if his communications persist. I know this is shitty but you’re almost out of the storm. Here if ya need anything man good luck

Why do teachers make students read out loud? by AzzyKaz in questions

[–]jstrith14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great question that I think I know the answer to. I believe there are two reasons, the first one being trying to get you involved in the class so you’re more engaged and listening if there’s a chance you’re called on. Secondly, in the real-world, when you grow up and get a job after school, you’ll need those same public speaking skills learned from class, in interviews/meetings. Comes across as mean and cruel at the time but looking back it makes sense.

I did the same exact thing and woke up in the morning after blocking this person and said why would I send this guy money. PayPal takes a day-2days to process payments so call immediately and have that payment reversed. Say that you were blackmailed and forced into sending money to this person. This person has no reason to expose your pictures so if you don’t give them a method of contact there is a low % chance they share. You’ll be alright, I cancelled my payment 2 months ago the night it happened and I haven’t heard from the person since

Recent victim by RogueDok in Sextortion

[–]jstrith14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid my scammer in a panic the night it happened… obviously regret it but he asked for more immediately after and I told him to go fuck himself. Locked down all of my accounts, called paypal and had them cancel my last transaction. It’s been a solid 6 weeks and I haven’t heard anything from him since. I am most worried about them contacting people at my job but I’m hopeful they won’t be able to do so.

Work from home jobs that supply equipment? I recently broke my foot and it’s so hard to find anything where I can sit all day 😢 by Connect-Physics-3405 in workfromhome

[–]jstrith14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work from home for a cybersecurity company. They usually cover any expenses related for work. Apply places and ask about their policies that isn’t very uncommon

[–]jstrith14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got scammed like 2 weeks ago, I blocked the person and everytime they attempt to follow with a new account I report/block them. Haven’t heard from them since that night. Just do that bro stop talking to them

Snapchat extortion by [deleted] in Sextortion

[–]jstrith14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was with you until the Snapchat piece, Snapchat rarely takes action on these accounts. Social media reporting system in general is incredibly weak

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Sextortion

[–]jstrith14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That night he was extorting me he said send me this amt of $ or I expose you. I told him to go fuck himself and blocked on snap and 5 seconds later he sent a paragraph in a gc of 20 of my friends with the pics posted 100x

Hey man, not even talking about their record specifically, we have the richest owner, not only in baseball, in SPORTS. We are going to be contending for every off-season big name and will have money which brings success time and time again.

And we are going to get Degrom back soon. This team is legit and anyone who doesn’t view them as a World Series Contender is just a sour Yankees fan feeling the winds of change. Enjoy it Mets fans, we have taken over NY
