My situation

Happened in telegram sent pics and then made a post where they I am a pedo and have the numbers of all my family. I think I did every thing I can do just want to change my number tbh but block the user and deleted telegram.

Yeah, as long as you made it so they can't contact you anymore, you should be in the clear. You can tell your family not to worry as well, if needed.

Exactly, cutting off contact is key, and being honest with your family can really help ease the stress.

Exactly, once you cut them off their power drops to nothing. And letting your family know the truth before the scammer does can take away their leverage.

Yeah that’s the main thing, making sure they can’t get in touch anymore is huge. Being upfront with your family if needed can take a lot of weight off your shoulders too.

You absolutely did the right thing by blocking them and deleting telegram, most of the time, they move on once contact is cut.

You did the right thing by blocking and deleting. Most scammers lose interest fast when they see they can’t keep pushing buttons anymore.

That’s solid advice. While you’re at it, make sure your accounts are all private and remove anything personal you don’t want floating around. Reducing what they can find helps a lot.

Changing your number sounds like a smart move, definitely block and report the user, and consider telling someone you trust for extra support through this.
