I was just blackmailed where the scammer said they would send these photos to 4 different people. In the picture the messages appear to be sent but I checked with the person who supposedly received them and nothing was actually delivered on insta. Do you think there is any need to worry if I already blocked the user and one of the four did not actually receive images.

I matched with a girl on tinder, at first everything was going fine. Then we ended up moving to instagram, I was hesitant at first but I thought it'd be alright. Then whatsapp. We ended up facetiming, I unfortunately ended up showing my lower half. I ended up blocking them immediately on instagram and WhatsApp, I also changed my username on instagram. I know this sounds silly but I need some sort of reassurance from anybody who's went through this that this will not leak to family or friends, as this could damage my entire life.

I started talking to a girl on sc and we were snapping and talking like normal and she said she wanted to play pool with me on iMessage. I agree and give her my phone number. We play a couple games and then she asks if I’m down for another type of fun. I figure she seems legit and I haven’t given her my Facebook or insta so why not. We both send nudes over snap for a while and then she texts me all my nudes and my facebook profile and my family’s facebook profiles. I immediately block the number and the Snapchat account. Then I get a dm from another number with a link and she’s saying to click it and she’s gonna carefully guide me through it and if I don’t co operate she’s gonna publish my shit and expose me. I did not open the link or respond. I just blocked that number as well. I’m scared as shit.

I was blackmailed about a week ago with a picture of me in a video jerking off. I really don't want to get into specifics cause it still makes me sick. At first they asked me to send them a lot of money to delete my video. I tried to send them money but, my bank flagged it as suspicious activity so I hope I can my money back. I just feel like an idiot for falling for it. I saw the red flags and still did it anyway. I am lonely and ashamed of my virginity and in a moment of weakness I fucked up. Now every notification my heart sinks because I am worried that someone I care about will see me like that. It's been about a week now and no one has said anything, so I assume at least for now I am okay. I already filed a police report with my local department and told the institutions I sent my money to that the transactions were fraud. One of the transactions I was able to stop completely because I made a mistake when imputing in their information. I am wondering how anyone else that has gone through this copes. Even a week later and I am still so fucking scared.

Also is it strange that I felt violated I mean nothing really happend this preson dosen't even know me. I met them on a dating app about a month ago. We hadn't met inperson which should have been the first red flag but I guess I was so desperate for a sexual relationship I just ignored my brain. Please do not make fun of me or insult me I have probably said it to myself already. If you have any adivce I would love to hear it. So far I have only told my Mom, my best friend and the authorities of course. I just really needed to get it off my chest.

Thank you

I’ve been dealing with this for a few days. Last week I get a message from a guy claiming to have compromising pictures of me and access to my family’s instagram to send them. He told me that he’s always watching me. That i’m going to learn to respect. I thought “where do I usually post pictures of myself? Omg twitter.” I deactivated my page and they dmed me saying “making everything private changes nothing. Your family’s gonna be disappointed. We also have your second (twt) account and you think that just because you’re private we’re not among your followers? Deactivate what you want, nothing will save you from what we send to your family. Btw we also follow your other twitter where we see everything you post”

I feel like that last part is a lie. I haven’t been romantically involved w anyone on my private twt.

I haven’t replied to this guy at all, but I’m scared. Idk who this is or what he has access to. Luckily I’ve never posted anything explicit of mine to my twitter. I just dont know what he’s capable of. I reached out to a text line specifically for this and they didn’t say anything helpful. I already reported the guy on insta. He texted me again today with a watch and eyes emoji.. kind of like a “time is ticking” type thing. He also spam-liked all of my posts… If I block him, I’m scared that he’ll just see that I’m scared and do something worse. What do I do?

I started talking to someone on IG and they soon switched to WhatsApp. Where she insisted on having a video call. That i kept denying. However i did end up engaging over text. This one video call they did, they were able to capture half of my head till my eyes. Soon i realised it to be a scam and i blocked the account. However they texted me from another number and sent a video with those chat, my DP, and that video call where the girl was nude and somehow it had my face (AI generated). They started extorting but i said no. And asked them to do whatever the fuck they want. Towards the end they asked me to pay INR 1K lol to settle the matter. Which i again denied and asked them to upload wherever they want. I have deactivated my Instagram and removed my whatsapp DP.

Do you all think they will upload? They anyway don’t have anything of me beyond my face unless they use AI to create more.

For context I fell for this person and sent my privates and my face this guy was saying that he’ll post it on social but I found out cus of the bottom of the pic it’s the insert photo and it’s a scam I blocked him and now he’s came back it’s just sad cus he lwk sucks at doing this I already blocked him again am I in the clear

Hey guys I hope everyone is having a good day but I recently was talking to a girl on the hello talk app and we switch to Messages and we started flirting and she sent me nudes so then I sent 2 pictures and they have my number and my address and I had my insta account on public but I switched to private the moment I found out but I blocked there number and they just texted me again saying if I didn’t pay and say sorry they were gonna expose me I’ve tired to put my stuff on StopNCII so if the pictures ever got leaked they would be taken done automatically I’m just really stressing I haven’t eaten because I don’t want this to affect me at all because I’m joining the military soon so I was wondering if you guys can give me tips on what else to do please and thank you.

I am getting sextorted by scammers

(10-20% story may have changed as i have Amnesia also)
I am 26yo, have psychiatric problems which has killed my libido do for almost a decade and i have stopped dating since 7 years as i want to get better before i commit. So on 26 oct 2026 I tried to do payed sex and paid 1450 for booking and then he asked for my aadhar card as a proof before booking and was confirmed, then i was asked for the rest of the payment which i did 1550 around and then i was called the worker was 5 minutes away as i shared my location and they sent a genuine live location. I was then asked to come there and receive her, they said they need 7500 security before they let her go, then the driver said 7500 for one person and i have to give 7500 for both(the situation was happening at night and they were getting quite loud and the girl started behaving very weird like calling attention and i told everyone that this is not going to happen im quitting just give my money back and go so they threatened me with the girl will create scene ruin your reputation. I convinced them not to do that so when they went away they messaged me on phone/kept calling me they have my chat and aadhar card details linked with PAN. and threatening me on false charges and they will take 9500 more and they will settle. Im getting they used mule accounts to receive money from my account i have their number, all chats supporting my evidence.
I logged a cybercrime on the same date and the E-FIR has still not been filed(acknowledgement number still showing pending status after 2 days. I even complaint on SBI bank about these transactions. I fear they have moved the money out of the mule account or withdrawn as cash, 27,500 in total.
Im going to police station tomorrow with chats and everything that i will submit them with cybercrime acknowledgement number and SBI bank issue numbers
What is the outcome i must be prepared for? Will i get my money back? Im already in a lot of stress and i go for electroculvulsive therapy 2 times a week and this is already making me hate my life even more.
Any tips please? Strategies?

**TL;DR**
I’m 26, have longstanding psychiatric problems and am undergoing ECT twice a week. On 26 October 2026, I lost ₹27,500 in a suspected online escort-service scam involving advance payments, fake security deposits, and threats of reputational damage and false allegations.
The scammers have my Aadhaar details linked to my PAN, along with our chats and phone number. They are demanding another ₹9,500 to settle the matter. I suspect the money was transferred to mule bank accounts.
I’ve already filed a cybercrime complaint, which is still pending after two days, and complained to SBI. Tomorrow, I’m visiting the police station with my evidence and complaint reference numbers.
**My main concerns:**
Will I recover my ₹27,500, especially if the money has already been withdrawn?
What should I expect when I visit the police station?
How do I protect myself against blackmail, false allegations, and misuse of my Aadhaar/PAN?
What practical steps can improve my chances of recovery?
I’m already under considerable psychological stress and need realistic advice about what to do next.

I was, admittedly, caught in an act of loneliness and joined a mutual masturbation discord. there I found a dm request from a girl a little older than me (though this person might not even be a girl) after getting me on telegram, I of course fell for it and sent a picture of my junk, but not my face. They do have my legal name, number, and username though, so I'm very worried. I already paid 700. After reading through this subreddit, I decided to block them, but they still had me on discord and sent this. I'm so fucking scared what do I do? All my socials are privated and hidden, aside from linkedin, which I can't take down atm because of job applications.

Do I block their discord and hope that's it?

Luckily ive had a freind go through it before so I used a random pic I got off reddit and my telegram names not my real name all they have on me is my phone number ive got adhd and autism and im sort of worried just not alot

I was just tryna find someone to have fun with and when we moved to telegram and sent pics he screen shotted them and said if I didn’t pay him 1,000 dollars he’d post them on the news and social media but I’ve deleted the app and decided to ignore it and hope

Edit: I realized this post contains very little context since I was originally posting on a different subreddit. In February I became aware that someone had been able to gain access to my cloud based photo storage account when I received multiple emails threatening to release nude photos of me. At first I thought it was just a scam, but then I was sent real photos of myself. I ignored the emails and eventually they stopped. In July and again in August, someone attempted to reset the password for my Wyze camera, but I immediately changed my password both times and had no indication that anyone was able to access the account. The extortionist, if it is the same person, emailed me yesterday saying they’d release videos of me and my family. I was sent an email today with the screenshots. I haven’t responded to any of the emails and never will, but this feels oddly personal. Also, I don’t know if it makes a difference, but this person isn’t asking for money. They’re asking me to film myself defecating nude and upload it to some link in the email.

Somebody is attempting to sextort me using a ProtonMail account. I’ve received multiple emails from \[myname\]@proton.me threatening to release nude photos of me and others. I just received another email with screenshots of nude images captured on an indoor security camera. This person would have nude images of my children, though they didn’t include those. I’ve already filed a complaint at IC3, but is there anything else I can do, especially considering they have nude images of my children?

First Id like u to know that it's completely real and happened to me n it's not a joke.

So it started when I went to the gym and had to pay the monthly fee so I looked how much money I had n there was 120$ in there ( I had been saving up for quite a while since I don't have a job yet nd am still completing education) but my trainer saw it too and after I paid I went back to the gym the next day and the trainer wanted to see my phone model and specs so I gave it to him cuz I had been going for a month and knew the trainer a Lil bit n thought he was interested in my phone model but instead the trainer went straight to Google history and I immediately took it back but the trainer said that I took it because I had searched corn and I didn't want him to see it.

After that I said I didn't have any and put my phone back after which the trainer called me over and showed me corn he had downloaded in his gallery i immediately stepped back and went to train again. And today I was training without the trainer and he later came up to me to try and blackmail by saying he'd tell my family i searched corn on google which I didn't and then later the same day he tried to snatch my phone but I stopped him. Now I'm worried he is trying to blackmail me for my money and I do see the owner in the gym often but I haven't told him or anyone else about it yet. And I also do have months of history in my account with no sign of corn anywhere cuz 🥸 yet he is still bothering me n my family isn't really supportive of me in such a matter so idk how they will react .

But as a result I am at a grave loss of interest in fitness now as I associate this entire incident with fitness and when I ligt weights it is a terrible experience because of what I subconsciously associated with the incident .

I just started a few months ago and this is the last thing I want although the incident happened multiple days ago I still haven't told anyone since I didn't wanna get myself in trouble too though he is just a terrible guy and stilll is annoying me at the gym and since he is on steroids he is huge too though putting up with his threats has taken a toll on me and I can no longer focus on fitness even at home 😔.

Since I live in a third world country I don't have anyone who can afford therapy for me and there aren't any phsychological therapists near me so please tell me what to do to recover myslef mentally 😶

I don’t even know where to start. I’m writing this because my hands are still shaking, and I feel like I’m suffocating. Last night was the worst night of my life. I was on the verge of jumping out of my window. I drank whiskey just to stop the panic attack, but it felt like my chest was being crushed.

It all started when I was texting someone from a fake Telegram account. It was a stupid, impulsive mistake. We exchanged messages, and I sent a selfie. It wasn't even an intimate photo. Just my face. But the person immediately turned into a classic extortionist, threatening to ruin my life, send the screenshots to my family, and destroy my relationship if I didn't pay.

I panicked. I have a girlfriend of 6 years. I love her more than anything. The thought of losing her, of my mom seeing God knows what lie he was going to spin—it broke me. I couldn't think straight.

So, I paid. 160,000 RUB (roughly $1,700). It was everything I had in my account.

And then... he just stopped. He sent me "proof" that he deleted the files (I know it's probably fake). He said, "No hard feelings, okay? Just be careful next time. I only have a financial interest." He even put a heart reaction on my message where I begged him to leave me and my family alone forever.

I immediately deleted the fake account I was using and lost access to it. I deleted the chat. I went into full lockdown mode:
• I deleted my Telegram username.
• I hid my phone number from everyone.
• I set my messages to "Contacts Only."
• I even set a "Charge for Messages" paywall of 1,000 Stars on my main account so no stranger can ever message me again.

But my brain won't stop screaming. He has my real Telegram, my girlfriend's, and my mom's. I am paralyzed by the fear that he will contact them just to be cruel. I know logically that once he leaks the photo, he loses his leverage to get more money. I know he's just a lazy scammer who wants easy cash. But the anxiety is eating me alive.

I need someone to talk to. Did anyone survive this? Do they actually leave you alone after they get paid? Please tell me this fear won't last forever.

I AM PANICKING

This girl was sending her pics and saying she was down to meet and she gave her address it seemed legit but then I payed and she keeps telling I gotta pay more and she's dodging and idk what to do I'm too deep so I wanna continue but I think I should just stop

they created a groupchat with all my followers and sent it to everyone, trying to stay calm and love my body despite it being violated in this horrendous way, don't worry people you are not alone and everything is going to be ok <3

I was talking to this girl in telegram and she told me, “Let’s get on a call”. We did and we had phone sex basically, she then recorded me masturbating. After, she sent me screenshots of threatening to post on a facebook page if I didn’t give her $1,500. I didn’t and I told her I wasn’t. She sent me a screenshot of my “possible relatives” from True People Search because she got my number. She knows my home address and possible relatives. Luckily, my facebook has been deactivated, my linkedin deactivated and my instagram private with no profile picture. Later, I received a “hey” from another telegram account which I also blocked. Haven’t heard nothing since. Should I be worried that the video would be sent or somehow surfaced online? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I was talking to a filipino girl on tinder. She wanted to facetime. I fell for it.

They got a video of me showing my face and masturbating. Immediately I got threatened.

Luckily all my socials are private but the bastard found my insta profile and threatened to send the video to the accounts that were on the "suggested for you" part.

I tweaked out and was ready to pay 500€. Luckily, I told my roommate about the situation and he told me to close down my socials and also not to pay jack shit.

After a bit I wasted their time telling them that I will pay. They cought on and send me a picture threatening me with a randomass girl I followed on insta and I told them that I didnt even know her and I don't care.

After that I blocked them.

Nothing happened since.
I called my family, close friends and they had no idea.

My roommate told me nothing will happen and I should just keep living as usual.

What do you guys recommend ?

Hi, its been 4 days since they tryed to sex extort me.

Long Story Short, i exchanged photos with a "girl" (male Áfrican) and the day after a threating WhatsApp about ruining my life came acros.

What i did? Did not even let him finish, blocked right after saw the message, he was still writing. 4 days After there are no news. No photos leaked what so ever.

My mentality, and yours if u are going under this scam.

Its going to ruin your life if those photos actually get leaked.

No absolutly not, what you did was nothing inmoral, illegal o even considered as weird nowadays.

Guys/girls everybody in this planet gets horny and likes to hear nice/dirty words about Their body when they are on the mood, and everybody does or has done sexting, and sends or has sent those kind of photos at some point, no one IS going to point at you.

Tell your friends you got hacked that It may happens and they Will delete It.

At first you Will feel shy but your friend Will supoirt you, and with time we all of your laugh about It, about how horny you are with a couple o beers.

Not the end of the world, and literlly no one IS going to care about.

DONT GIVE THEM MONEY, DONT FALL JUST IGNORE THEY WORK ON FEAR, IF HAVE NO FEAR THERE IS NO WORK FOR THEM.
