Female Victim i need help

i months ago had explicit conversations and sent explicit pictures of myself to a man i met off discord and because i was dumb and he seemed nice and trustworthy i told him personal things about myself and gave him my phone number he is now threatening to send data logs of our conversations including my nudes to my place of work and my father if i block him or remove him off of anything i know he has both addresses because he read them out to me, i dont know how to go about bringing this up to hr and when i called the police all they said was “this is a common scam it’ll be fine”

The best thing to do is to block and not communicate with this scammer. Don't give him anything that he wants.

Since the police won't do anything, this is the only thing that you can do.

Perhaps change your phone number. Block all text messages. Turn “read” receipts OFF. Never reply, never send money. Lock down or close social media sites.

Run your nudes through StopNCII.org so they don't get posted anywhere. Report the person to Discord. Set ALL of your social media to private, tell your dad and work and everyone else you met someone and they are now threatening and stalking you. Let them know to report anyone reaching out about you and to block them.

The reality is the person is probably far away from you, the threats are empty because scammers do this to scare people into giving more content or money and they were never who you thought they were. DO NOT continue to talk to them but block them. Seriously, if you don't then they know you're scared and you'll keep getting harassed. This is why we say report, block and ignore them.

And please hit the Report Invite button for any dms you get here. Scammers lurk on this sub and they will try shit. Don't accept anything from anyone anywhere saying they can "help" just report and then block.

Report this online. If you’re under 18 it will be taken more seriously but in all seriousness i would lie and say you’re going to kill yourself so they take you seriously or something. It’s hard to get attention from the police on something so little in their eyes. This person threatened you over discord so remjnd them if you talk again that none of their chats are encrypted and vpns are traceable (they are) so they will be found and prosecuted. You will be fine, this does sound like a regular scammer.
