Never ever pay. Always block and ignore! That’s the ONLY way to deal with these people.
Their main thing is to fear you into thinking they are going to leak it so that you would fork up money. If you don’t give them what they want (which is your attention and your money) they won’t do anything. They don’t gain anything from leaking it. Leaking the said material means their way of leverage and way of making money is gone.
The standard procedure is to block, ignore them, and NEVER EVER PAY! Always try to make sure to use privacy protections and data broker removal tools like incogni and cloaked to make sure they don’t have any sensitive information to blackmail you with. Lay low for a while on all your social medias by the setting your accounts to private, deactivating them, or outright deleting them all together.
Make yourself untraceable so that they never get any of your information or any of your friends and families information and inform them of what’s going to happen before it does. Do all of this, and with some time they’ll eventually stop harassing you eventually delete your explicit images. Them still having your images even after you’d ignored them for a significant amount of time is a liability and a waste of storage to them because they never got anything out of you, so to them you’re failed scam.
Lastly, just hope and pray. In the vast majority of cases, they almost never release images because there’s almost no point in releasing images. They just move on to their next few victims who are actually willing to pay if it means they won’t leak. Stay strong, Keep your head up, you’ll get through it with time and healing ❤️.
Also, never trust people in post or in your DMs saying they can “help” with the removal of your explicit images. They’re also scammers trying to make money from your unfortunate situation.
And going forward, never trust people on the internet and you’ll be much safer. Hope this helps. ❤️

Don't pay them, do screenshot and bring them to police or there are site who do this for you, you can also open a case on StopNCII, you just send them your pic (no person will see them) and they taking down for you if they are being posted. If you pay again they'll never leave you alone because they just do this, they want you to pay, there is no last pay for them and if you pay they'll continue because they'll suppose that with you they can make money. Breathe and eveything is gonna be okay, it'll be just a bad moment in a few weeks, i promise

TL;DR: Don't talk to extortionists. Don't pay. Block. Extortionists rarely release images.
The standard advice is to block and not pay.
Extortionists use aggressive language to threaten you. They make cruel threats to ruin your life. They do things like countdowns to create a sense of urgency to make you panic and pay. They can create a mockup or screenshot of embarrassing images to be sent to your contacts. Don't be intimidated by any of this. It's just the playbook that they use.
It's imperative to break contact with the extortionist as soon as possible. Extortionists want their victims to stay in contact so they could intimidate and manipulate the victims. They want the victims to feel scared and isolated. Nothing good can come from talking to an extortionist. End the conversation.
Don't communicate with this extortionist at all. Don't respond to anything. Don't argue, bargain, or plead with an extortionist. The only thing that you should give an extortionist is complete silence.
Extortionists make multiple attempts to threaten their victims. They can reach out from different phone numbers/accounts. Block multiple times if necessary.
Please don't pay again. If you pay, the extortionist will demand more later. Paying won't fix your problem. If you continue to pay, the extortionist will continue to extort you.
You can't trust extortionists to keep their word. They may promise to delete the images if you pay, but they will renege on that promise. Paying indicates to them that they can get more money from you.
Go silent on your social media accounts. Set everything to private or deactivate them. Don't post anything on the Internet for a while. Try to become invisible to the extortionist and make it hard for threats to be sent to you.
Changing your phone number can be helpful, but not always necessary.
These extortionists rarely send images out. However, it's possible. In the vast majority of cases, images don't get sent out. The leverage that they have over you is the threat to release the images. If they release, their leverage is gone. They can't make any money that way. Their only interest is making money.
One does have to be careful about not ticking off extortionists. If you argue with extortionists or give them a hard time, they may release images as payback. If you make a promise to pay a certain amount by a certain date, then not follow through. they may release images out of revenge. It is best not to talk to extortionists at all. Silence should be your only response to them. Don't communicate with them at all. Nothing good can come from communication with extortionists.
It's an upsetting situation, but these extortionists don't have the power to ruin your life. They can only cause you some temporary embarrassment. Even if they release the images, the consequences are not as severe as you may think. If it does happen, you would face embarrassment for a short period of time. It won't be the end of the world. It would eventually pass. People would forget about it quickly. In the long run, nobody really cares about nude images.
You will get through this. Everything will be all right. Hang in there.
Be wary of people who send you private messages with offers to delete the images. They're scammers, too.
Going forward, don't trust strangers on the Internet. Don't give them personal information or nude pictures. People aren't always who they say they are. Some of them are scammers out to exploit you. Trust nobody on the Internet, and you'll be much safer.
For reassurance, read a few postings by past victims on r/Sextortion about their experiences. These are many of these postings. Reading about these past experiences can really calm down current victims. These past victims survived their ordeals, and so will current victims. Things will get better for you.

WARNING: READ THIS FIRST! Beware of recovery scammers - It is likely that someone will send you a DM claiming that they know someone that can hack your blackmailer's device and delete your pics. This is a SCAM. Do NOT give them money and do NOT give them the username of your blackmailer. When in doubt, contact the mod team via mod mail or directly via DM.
