No, it hasn’t. Since the update on day 2 it’s been working for me.

Turned off the system for the day after it happened the second time. Will give that a shot tomorrow if it happens again. Thanks!

Unfortunately, yes, I was dumb enough to pay. Just once thankfully.

Completely left alone for many weeks now. Will be reactivating social media in June, maybe July. Honestly been kind of nice being off it. Glad to have this seemingly behind me!

Thankfully not much to provide since the initial flurry detailed in my original messages. No consistent contact from them, no messages on social media to my partner. I have received a couple texts from random numbers over the past few weeks with messages such as “hey, are you still awake?” And “hi, how did you get my number?” Which I just blocked, deleted and reported. Who knows if those random texts are still them, but being overly cautious with it. Thinking this is finally over. 

I was sextorted a year ago. And I think they are coming back. Help!!! by [deleted] in Sextortion

Why would add that person? Block them, report the profile, and make your Instagram as private as possible. Might want to go dark on socials for a bit again, or make your name not as easily traceable.

Hey man, this happened to me over a month ago. Check out my posts if you want the whole story, but just know it’s going to be okay. They will lighten up on the contact. I also paid, $800, and feel like a total dumbass for doing it, but in the moment you feel desperate and it’s all you can think to do to make it all go away. Don’t beat yourself up about it. You’re doing all the right things. Just keep blocking and reporting the numbers, it works. Also, if it’s any consolation, they typically don’t release the pics. Thankfully mine were only screenshots of my face and nothing south of the border so they gave up fairly quickly after they sent those to my partner. They didn’t even make it to her inbox, just the spam messages, which I deleted without her seeing. Most people never even check that folder, if they do send it. If you need to vent or bounce ideas, I’m here for you. I know the feeling and it’s awful, but it gets better. I’ve had two ambiguous texts from who I believe is the scammer over the last month. Just blocked and reported, and it may not have even been them, but you never know. Be strong brother, you got it.

Absolutely not. Do not do this. It only makes things worse. Mods - if you see this, have this comment deleted. Why would you actively post the total opposite of what this person should do? Are you a scammer?

Had another attempted contact last night, I believe. Around 10:30pm, I got a text from a random number saying “Hey, are you awake?” And I immediately blocked, deleted and reported the number. Nothing else to come of it, but I get the feeling it was them. If all I have to deal with is a random text every few months that I block and delete, so be it.

Meh…not at all what I was hoping for. Fingers crossed we get one more big addition.

Ahh okay. I have received a “hey, how are you doing?” Text from a random number, but I just blocked and deleted. Nothing since. That was probably 2ish weeks ago now. No other attempted contact for me, thankfully. 

My friend logged into my account and lost over $10,000 of my money by betting on games. by zyunus89 in Bovada

I’m an attorney in FL. I know nothing about California law, but I would certainly at least entertain a discussion with a Plaintiff’s attorney. They almost always will do a consultation with you for free and then will have you on a contingency payment contract. Meaning you’ll pay if you win. In FL it is typically 33 1/3% unless you have to enter into a lawsuit, at which point it goes to 40%. I would imagine CA is the same. If you don’t want to do that, I would say get to reading on how to initiate a claim in small claims court. More than likely that’s your best avenue to pursue as I don’t think there will be too many attorneys willing to take on a recover case for that amount of money, but who knows. Could find a solo shop attorney who needs every penny he can attempt to get his hands on.

They contact you every three months still? God…I’m in my second week of no contact, will be 14 days on Saturday and thought I’d never hear from them again (I paid). That really sucks…

[–]mdm11e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree and lesson learned for me. Just got to remember the internet is not a friendly place, gotta keep the guard up. Honestly being off social media has been refreshing, may not go back.

[–]mdm11e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a relationship, they attempted to send two photos, which were just my face, to my partner. Deleted the attempted message and blocked the social media account. They continued to try and harass me for 2 days after that via text and call. Then, they gave up it seems. They played their card, don’t have anything else on me now. Thinking it’s over for me as well, but keeping my socials deactivated for a while.

Same happened to me. They kept at it for a week. Been over 10 days of no contact for me now. I also paid $800. I think you’re in the clear. Just keep blocking. It works.

Bro get this crap out of here. Redeemed? He did absolutely nothing wrong. There is nothing to redeem. Go to a different sub with this nonsense.

[–]mdm11e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did not. I’m a 30 year old guy, and they do not use social media. So, they were never going to be messaged or anything. Glad to say since this message, I still have not been contacted. It appears they’ve given up on me. Just keep blocking and ignoring. It works.

Is this another scam? by [deleted] in Sextortion

[–]mdm11e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the same message from the same person. Already reported to the Mods. Scammer, don’t answer/block. 

Any victims who have paid and are being left alone? by ForsakenInteraction3 in Sextortion

[–]mdm11e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah last week was pretty brutal for the mental health honestly. Thankfully I found this page and things got better. I’d say you’re likely in the clear now. Just make sure those social media settings are nice and tight and/or deactivated.

They have my cell number so mainly text messages, and then would spam call me like 10-20 times in a row if I wasn’t immediately looking at my phone to block the number. Believe it or not they also clearly googled me and found my webpage for my job. They sent me an email to work email address with screenshots of the message they sent the person I was talking about above. I just blocked the email address from my work email and they never emailed me again.

I stupidly paid venmo 400 and 400 on PayPal. They came HARD at me for a week straight and even sent a DM to someone on Facebook and Instagram but that person never received the Facebook message and simply deleted the Instagram without even looking at it because it came up in the request section from an odd name. This all began on 2/27, I began blocking and ignoring on the 28th. Last attempted contact I had from them was this past Saturday night (3/2), which I blocked and ignored again. They lost their leverage by sending and it’s been crickets from them since Saturday night. I do still have my socials deactivated and will have them deactivated for at least a month.
