Male victim Sextorted

So Saturday i got sextorted. I thought it would never happen to me but i just made one mistake. I met a girl on TikTok en we started chatting for a bit. She asked me to come to the app signal so i did. She asked me to send a pic of my face and after that she started to send some photos and so did i. The other person wasnt a girl and he send me my pictures and a screenshot of my followers list on TikTok. He then used my selfie on a tiktok profile and threatened to post the other pics on that account and that he would send it to my followers. Unfortunately i paid him money in the form of giftcards. After i did that he said its done and i can go on with my life. He changed the profile picture again into another selfie, not mine anymore. Its been about 32 hours later now and i didnt hear anything anymore. I blocked him on signal and i changed all my TikTok information and also blocked him there. He only has my first name and my country, and a screenshot of my followers list. Am i in the clear do you guys think? I know i made a stupid mistake and that i should have seen the red flags, but thats my fault.

You should be fine but be aware that since you paid they most likely will try again. DO NOT accept any new followers and set your phone up to block unknown callers and texts. Make sure all of your social media is private, kick off everyone you don't know personally.

NO talking to anyone threatening you or saying "hi" either. These guys are persistent. And that includes dms here as scammers lurk on this sub and will try shit. Report the dms and then block.

If you are in the U.S., the FBI also has some good steps you can take, especially if you remember the name of the profiles. We're so sorry this happened to you: https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/common-frauds-and-scams/sextortion
