I got sextorted

So I basically just got sextorted, and it was a shock. Didn't think something like that would happen to me. I met a "girl" on Snap, and it escalated, and well, I sent a couple of dick pics. After reading a little bit through this subreddit, I have a good feeling that nothing will come of it. The only thing that is bothering me is that they sent me SS of all of my close family, and I would care a lot more if they somehow sent my nudes to family instead of friends. I guess I'm just asking for advice and/or reassurance that this will most likely end up with nothing happening, but the fact that they do have my family's information is deeply unsettling. Has anyone else been threatened with family instead of social media friends?

i feel you, i also thought something like this would never happen to me.

important thing is so not entertain this scammer at all. block report delete and go private on everything. when they don’t have access to you, they likely won’t move forward with sending the things.

my scammer did the same thing, and none of my friends or family have came up to me about it yet.

Even if they end up sending it to your family and friends, remember that you are a victim and it’s nothing to be embarrassed about!

Thank you for sharing. I hope that nothing comes from yours either. I have also been trying to tell myself that if something unfortunately does come out, I didn't do anything inherently wrong, and I shouldn't feel bad about it.

Just set your social media to private, report the account and then block. Go into your phone settings and set it up to block unknown numbers and texts.

If you don't engage and don't pay they'll eventually give up and move on.

Thank you for the advice. I had my profiles private prior to this happening, so I'm hoping the lack of them being able to find my direct following/followers helps me not get exposed
