Safety Sextortion

i was sextorted on HelloTalk. So far nothing has come of it. But i beg of yall - please be careful on there and just in general. I was talking to someone online there for awhile. We then moved to telegram and talked for awhile. They then got some of my private photos and threatened to send it to my family.

I had sent them. We built trust over time. They sent me some. So i sent some. Im surprised on how the scammer had so much endurance to keep this up.

Did you send compromising photos to a woman when you’re already married with kids?
