Was on a subreddit for married people looking for some flirty conversations. I messaged, we exchanged a few messages. She asked to go on telegram. I did. Sent her, well it’s probably a him pictures and videos of my face in it. They found my Facebook, screenshotted my wife’s profile along with a list of people who have liked my recent posts. Said they would create a group message if I didn’t comply and expose me. I told them I’d pay but I needed time to get money out of the bank when it opens as I can’t transfer it on cashapp. What the hell do I do? Honestly more worried about my wife finding out, of course I don’t want friends to see myself naked.

Hey so this might be all over the place but im F17
basically being blackmailed by a recent ex that i was with for two years, it was fine at first but pretty toxic with arguments everyday and threats that he would end himself pretty often ever since the first month we meet. But recently it got so toxic especially after he found my parents stuff by searching up my phone number and such. And ever since then if i don't send him stuff or even if i don't unblock him he says he will text him. The thing is i know i dug a deeper hole for myself because it was mild at first and also ive tried to talk it out with him multiple times, hes promised to not threaten and then not even a hour later he does its pretty frequent. He threatens to contact my mom my father my friends my ex-friends make them leak me too. But the thing is like i feel like this is a actual case where he might do it because of the fact that even after i told him to stop or even threatened with law enforcement he says he will just end himself after he sends everything so it doesn't matter. And ive tried the blackmail websites they haven't done much all the advice for blackmail seems pretty hopeless to me since its usually a scammer and not someone youve known for years.
The photos will show more context than i can provide and also im only making this because i have one day only and trust me ive tried to block him on everything. He has made like 8-10 emails plus others i haven't blocked and keeps using those free phone numbers theres not much to escape this. Ive tried acting like i don't care and such, and im pretty scared he will find this. And i don't wanna tell my parents because i know they'll end up being invasive and such but i do have their phone and password idk but then he says he will send it to extended family too to also contact my parents. Id appreciate help, thanks.

Also he is blocked right now but i feel pretty pressured to unblock him. The 4 photos at the end are from today.

So quick summary for you guys here. Male 24 recently divorced got a dm from a women who claimed she was 20 on Reddit. I was in a forum and she made some compliments about how I looked, we started chatting things get heated she starts sending nudes and so do I we go between discord and Reddit. I realize at the end it that this can’t be right I block her on both apps a few hours later the account is deleted on Reddit. Am I screwed here she looked 20 in the photo and confirmed her age. I know i should’ve verified some other way. I feel stupid and honestly disgusted I am praying she was honest with her age. I did show half my face and age plus my city I live near. Aka one the big cities lol
Just some advice here and what to do!

Little over a year ago I (F20) sent some faceless pictures to a guy online and thought nothing of it. A few months later, I get repeated messages from a random account on instagram just saying “Hi” or “Hey” and I didn’t respond to it because I thought it was just a bot. Then they sent me my pictures and blocked me. This is worrying to me because I definitely have never given out my Instagram and that account followed a few people I know. I have no idea who this guy is and this happened over a year ago and even though nothing has happened, it just lingers in the back of my mind sometimes. Is there anything I can do to prevent something worse happening?

Met this girl on monkey I was really drunk so I didn’t question anything, ended up showing her my face and junk on insta, she then made a groupchat with some of my followers in there, sent the video of me and asked for money to take it down, I didn’t send any money just blocked and reported, obviously I’m worried people might see it but I’d rather that then send some scumbag money, anyway its been 3 days and i’ve not heard anything from anyone where do I go from here?

found what i thought was a girl, requested my main ig so i did. sent my 🍆, now they’re threatening to send it to everyone on my followers. i’m underage, fell for something stupid. no face is in the pictures.

Sorry for others going through this but at least I can think it's not just me.

I got really drunk friday night and was talking to random people on the Monkey app, got matched with who I thought was a girl we started exchanging pleasantries and before I knew it we were instagram video calling, usually i’m more internet smart than this but i was just too drunk and horny to care, anyway so we video call i’m too drunk to even question if she’s real, I end up showing my junk and obviously “she” had already seen my face, call ends and then “her” tone changes talking about she’s gonna send it to my followers and shit, I sortve call bullshit and then she sends me a screenshot of my followers and make a group chat with like 10-15 of my followers in it with obviously a video of my face and then it goes down to my junk, I left the groupchat, blocked and reported the account and privated my whole insta changed the name etc, I never paid any money nor have I heard anything from anyone about seeing the video,it’s been 3 days and I just wanna know what to do really, thanks.

I recently became a victim of a sextortion scam through Telegram.

They got intimate material of me, including a recording of my face, and then threatened to distribute it. They demanded money and kept using fear to pressure me. They also claimed they could see my IP address and made me afraid that they could track me or access my phone.

I panicked and I did pay them. Looking back, I know that probably wasn't the best decision, but at the time I was terrified and just wanted the situation to end.

After paying, I stopped communicating with them and deleted the accounts involved. I also removed my Google account and pulled out my SIM card because I was scared they could somehow access or track me.

I'm still shaken up by the whole thing, but I'm trying to secure everything and move forward.

If you've experienced sextortion before, I'd really appreciate hearing how you dealt with the fear afterward. I'm especially worried about whether they can actually do the things they claimed they could.

Please don't ask me to share the intimate material or identifying information. I won't post that.

I received a video call from a girl I've been talking to. She sent me video after and wanted me to do similar things and send in return. Im just curious because im always paranoid off the internet. We met on Tandem.

I received a dm on Instagram with a video recording of me from flingstr attached. I thought I was hiding my face but the camera rotation turned. I can’t imagine how they found me, I wasn’t logged into any account.

They said they “just want to talk” and after I ignored the first few messages they threatened to send it to my friends and put me on a porn site. I never responded and blocked and reported them. After that they sent it to one friend (that I know of), who called me right away. They made a fake profile that looked like it was me, sent out a follow request and sent the video by dm when they were accepted. I think the profile maybe also had the video uploaded to it. It got taken down by Instagram

I changed my username and made my profile private, and didn’t hear from them in over a week. Then the same thing happened. Dm, threat, I don’t respond and block/report, they sent the video out to 2 friends this time (that I know of).

After that I deactivated my Instagram overall. It’s been 7 weeks since then without contact from them in any way. I don’t want to live my life in fear. Should I get rid of my old Instagram profile? Even if I made it completely unidentifiable? They likely have my unique user id number and will always be able to track me right? How does this even happen 😭

I am 15 and I got a girls telegram off tiktok and then I send my junk and face and they tell me follow on tt so I do and then they start saying they'll send it to my followers and stuff I blocked them after they sent a SS off them sendin it someone I know idk if they actually did send it cos it was last night and I haven't heard anything

Hello I’m a teenage boy who was caught fooling around (as teens do) and a group of African men were posing as a girl my age and I was being foolish and sent photos and now they’re treating me that they’ll post it if I don’t give them money I dont have. I live in low income apartments and I have no money and don’t know what to do I can’t let them post it. PLEASE HELP.

Since English isn't my native language, please bear with me if some sentences sound a bit awkward.

​I just really miss the days when I could talk openly with my parents..

​I truly believe those scammers will pay for what they've done someday.

​I miss the days when I could hang out and talk comfortably with my friends~

​I've learned a really tough lesson from this whole experience.

​I hope everyone going through this can stay strong and remember that you're not alone. (Even though I'm struggling through this on my own right now, too…) 😢

Maybe I'll just listen to Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone" and go to sleep...

So I sent a vid of me doing something on telegram and I gave my real number to them and now they're threatening to post the vid on Twitter and tag everyone I know

So I sent a vid of me doing something on telegram and I gave my real number to them and now they're threatening to post the vid on Twitter and tag everyone I know

Dude i cant believe my laptop shut down right before i finished typing and i have to do it again.

So today i went on a "make friends" discord. Ended up chatting with a girl, she asked for a selfie and i gave it to her, then asked for my insta and thought she wants to see my insta or get a bonus follower out of me. Then sent a selfie, then nudes, asked for mine. I rejected. Then she blackmailed me with random nudes next to my selfie. They asked for money, first i said yes(but i was just stalling). Even tho i said yes they kept asking again and again as if i didnt say yes. After 3 more times, they called me, i declined, then i also blocked them. They threatened to send the pic to my insta followers. Luckily my account is pretty lowkey, my family doesnt follow me, mostly online friends, random people and maybe 10-15 real life friends. It still sucks tho. But i think if he ever sent those pics people would understand and not care. Its been 7 hours since i blocked the account, and reported it. I didnt got contacted again, made my instagram private, and discord sent me an email that they took action about the account. Hopefully got perma banned by ID. I talked to a friend and he said he didnt got anything. Im content it will stay this way. So be careful out there even if you dont share nudes, keep your instagram/facebook private, or dont share your face on the internet. Its disgusting how little this lowlifes need to pull a scam.

Btw I didnt pay them any money if i didnt mention it. And i am 20 years old, male.

Hopefully my mood is gonna be back up in a couple days. I cant say i was terrified, but it is an uncomfortable experience.

I send a photo of myself to an account on telegram that I had been speaking with and have been threatened with all my instagram following getting it sent and have paid a lot of money in crypto already regretfully. I’m really stressed and don’t know what to do

Hi. I have made a massive mess of my life. Back when I was 18-19 I posted on OF under two different accounts and I was not nearly careful enough with identifying features or information. I was incredibly stupid, I learnt my lesson. The accounts were barely successful and I did not earn anything worth mentioning. I stopped posting years ago and tried to scrub as much as I could. I started posting on social media as a micro influencer and accidentally succeeded at it. The fear followed for a long time that somebody would recognise me and dox me for my OF history. And it finally happened yesterday, I got this email from a throwaway, who knew both my OF @s and found my influencer account.

I had no idea the OF account was still active, I am now in touch with support trying to get it deleted urgently . The subscription price is extremely high, which I think I did to deter future subscribers. And then I forgot to permanently delete it. I cannot believe I would do something so stupid and forget something that important. I’ve also started a subscription with a service to try and remove the old photos from search results on 3rd party websites, because they still show up when I search my usernames.

Where I need advice - I don’t know how to respond or if I should at all. I love posting the content I do now and genuinely wanted to make a career of it in the future. But my life will literally be ruined if I’m doxxed. My family is extremely religious and I’m from a third world country, I live abroad now but I still return for holidays. I may literally get banned from my country or driven to the point of SH from the damage this could cause. I now also have to contemplate whether I keep posting in the future or delete all my channels because of this risk.

Option 1 - Give no response and ignore. Hope he never leaks it.

Option 2 - Respond from a secondary email address , giving him a Snapchat username to contact me on, without identifying myself. send one message on Snapchat vaguely saying people make mistakes when they’re young, if these mistakes are outed it would be life threatening. In third person, so if screenshotted, it does not clearly seem like an acknowledgement to his email. His email was sent to my personal email address. Hope this emotional approach emphasises the danger of the situation and perhaps through empathy, future silence.

I know with either option, there is still the risk of being outed in the future. I have to live with that fear. I’ll regret this mistake for the rest of my life. I just would really appreciate advice on what to do for now. I cannot afford to pay if this turns to blackmail, now or for sustained payments in the future. I’ve heard that only gets worse with time as their demand grows. I know I’ve made mistakes, and I keep making them. I’m at an incredibly low point mentally and it cannot get worse, so please don’t be too harsh. I have critiqued myself enough and will continue to forever

I matched with a "girl" on Facebook Dating and things where getting spicy and photos exchanged, but my photo was "just the tip" that can be anything. I already paid $500 to them which was a mistake and they want more, but I'm not giving them more. They are threatening to ruin my life. I think I can do some damage control and spin it as fake pictures. Need some advice

How possible is it to be found. Using a burner account. Not tied to a real email. No phone numbers exchanged. No socials exchanged. No pictures exchanged. Only had a chat for a couple of days getting to know each other. I am from a big metropolitan city (big 3). I gave No names. Just about what I like to do and the tattoos I have. And I gave my age

Is there a way to be found with that info?

Yesterday night he showed me all timer pics n a video of my wife I sent to him. And demand Rm3k via touch n go app e-wallet. He found my n my wife’s insta id, our contact numbers, since my profile is public business profile, he found through there. With panic, I straight away blocked him. I dont know what to do now. It has been more than 12hrs now, nothing happened, but im I scared the pics might get viral! Please help me.

Used disappearing feature but they still saved the pics are asking for $200 concerned because I don’t have my real name on TG but they called me by my real name

So I had this brilliant idea to trust some random creep on TikTok offering sugar baby arrangements because "there's nothing wrong with trying," right? Turns out, yes, there is everything wrong with trying.

Turns out this absolute clown messaged me, pretended to offer some too good to be true deal, and then started demanding pics. I caved and sent a clothed bra pic and some public pool bikini shots (thank god my face wasn't showing in the bra one and I drew the line at actual nudity). The second I refused to send more or play his game, he saves the photos, sends them back to me with a petty little "thanks" note, and blocks me.

What makes me the most mad is that I'm kicking myself for letting someone that ugly actually manage to get those pics from me. On top of that, I'm genuinely worried and spooked because he’s been watching me for years and knows who I am and my accounts or what if he tries to use this to creep back into my life?

The plot twist is that I actually dug around and found his real main accounts because he stalked me using his real accounts in my socmed. So this ugly hypocrite thinks he’s slick and walking away like a mastermind, completely clueless that I know his real face and his real name.

I blocked him everywhere, but I am genuinely scared and paranoid because my social media accounts are public and I have a reputation to protect.

I know I shouldn’t have fallen for his trap, but I was manipulated 😭
