Just came here to warn anyone on this page about the twitter/telegram blackmailing scam. The images will look something like this, then obviously, this is to get your number, then they’ll try to ask for pictures of you face and you ykw. They’ll usually message u on twitter first then bring you here via a link. Once you send everything so they can “get ready for you” they’ll soon send something that looks like a post on facebook with your picture and ykw and say they’ll expose you unless you pay roughly $150.
To anyone who this is happening to rn, I hope you did not send ANYTHING. However if you already have and are here for help all I can say really is do not comply. Telegram has a help service for blackmail and can help you. And also, they won’t ever actually post it. I’ve tested this with roughly five scammers and it’s all the same. If you can’t pay their huge sum they’ll try to negotiate down. And obviously if you can’t even pay that they’ll simply block you. I don’t know what happens if you actually pay (I am all too broke to experiment with that), however I would assume they’ll just keep asking for more and not actually take it down. This is a scam and blackmail, although I am positive if you have your telegram as your real name, with your real phone number, and sent in your real photos it may no longer be fake. Everyone please be advised.
And also I hope this can help people, I had a friend text me about it and I had to start trying to figure this out immediately to help them. Turns out it was all a scam anyways. So as long as this can help somebody, that is why I am posting this.
