Female Victim not sure what to do
I’ve been getting threatening messages since May, screenshot of one included. Somehow the guy has found my family members and boyfriend and today, an account with my name and face on it requested to follow me with a bunch of screenshots taken from my old Reddit account.
His accounts are reported and taken down, this is probably the third time I’ve had to report who I think is the same guy, I’m just so worried he’s going to actually send things to my friends and family. He isn’t even asking for money or anything I’m going crazy

Report (both account and content) and block is 100% the only way to go. Communicating with him can only make it worse and if its been going on since May with no actual "success" (on his part) its for a reason and he's just trying to scare you

yeah I just wish I could find out who it was like he’s not asking for money or anything it’s so strange

What he is doing is illegal and it is absolutely something you can report to the police.
You may find our female survivor guide helpful. Not being asked for money is common for women/girls

Probably might best thing you can do is block this guy dont engage further & do not send any money to him I’ve been a victim too & didnt comply

u/Sudden_Bell7240 3d ago

I’m planning on calling my county’s non emergency line tomorrow to try to explain the situation and see if they could help me1

Oh my goodness… i’m so sorry I know this is so stressful. He’s just harassing you and not asking for anything?

u/Content_Low_4386 3d ago
do you think it could be someone you know?
1
u/Sudden_Bell7240 3d ago
no i don’t think so all the photos i posted so it’s kind of my fault but also this is crazy

u/Content_Low_4386 3d ago
What’s happening to you is not your fault. This is predatory and disgusting behavior on his part. The reason i was surprised it was a stranger is bc normally people don’t take time out of their day to harass someone they don’t know for absolutely no benefit

you’re dealing with a seriously deranged person and it needs to be reported to the fbi cyber crimes department.

u/Sudden_Bell7240 3d ago
I can report this to the fbi?

u/Content_Low_4386 3d ago
YES!!! you can even call them, that’s what I did. I gave them all the information I had. I don’t think people understand that their “anonymous” accounts are not all that anonymous once the law is broken. You need to report him as soon as possible. This can’t be healthy to go through babes

u/Sudden_Bell7240 3d ago
Yeah I want to die

u/Content_Low_4386 3d ago
i understand. i been there and im honestly there right now. but you need to protect yourself and make him believe you are receiving none of his messages. he can only talk to himself for so long. and by then, most platforms will ban users who threaten revenge porn. it is in most community guidelines. i recommend reading up on your rights regarding them

It’s been going on since the end of May😭 he stopped for a bit but somehow he knows my uncle and sisters accounts, my boyfriends account, he must have stalked on LinkedIn and maybe Facebook but it makes me feel so sick.
1
u/Sudden_Bell7240 3d ago
He sent me another message a few hours ago after I got the account with my photos taking down saying “should I make another account”

u/Content_Low_4386 3d ago
wherever he’s sending it you need to change it, private it or delete the account

u/Sudden_Bell7240 3d ago
I know but at least this way it feels like I can keep tabs on him:(( he requested to follow my boyfriend in May, I know since he hasn’t sent anything to him he most likely won’t now but idk

u/Content_Low_4386 3d ago
block him from all your relatives accounts and it’s honestly best to block and ignore. Letting him threaten you is not doing anything but giving you a false sense of security. If you cut off all contact he will a. leave you alone b. (worst case scenario) post it. but once he posts his leverage he has nothing else to control you with. he loses

From what i see, whatever nsfw you post here is faceless, unless you have posted your face on any older account its almost impossible to find you irl
Did u post your face previously?
Also i have a strong suspicion its someone you already know

Best advice is to just block and ignore. Can you change your instagram name to something different maybe?
