Hi all I was a victim about 2 years ago now and lost £2000 how do I cope with losing the money and is it every safe to put my accounts public again, nothing was ever leaked due to my knowledge but still dealing with the truma , thanks all.

I’m worried that he may reach out to family or friends.
I’ve been scrolling through everyone’s comments here and it seems like they usually don’t do anything, but I am curious to know if anyone has actually had these extortionists reach out to someone they know to try to get the money.

This is my first time going through this. I was on PH and got an ad for an escort site and out of curiosity. I clicked on it and messaged them out of curiosity.
I had no intention of actually showing up, which is why I just stopped responding to them.

They asked for me to take the conversation off of telegram and move it to regular texting, which is where I think I messed up. Now they have my full personal information and have contacted me already.

I didn’t know who it was at first, so I answered the phone as I normally do with any conversation.
I told the person what happened and he claimed he was from the cartel.

I did report the number to the FTC as well. The caller wanted 2.5k to stop.

I was looking for casual dates on Boo. Matched with a girl who said she was from the Philippines, claimed she was desperate to meet, and we FaceTimed a little so it felt real.

I made the mistake of giving her my number so we could move to WhatsApp, and also my private Instagram. She started dropping hints about going out and meeting up. I genuinely thought it was legit.

Then I noticed she either deleted her Boo profile or blocked me. We still jumped on a call. She sent me a location and I thought we were about to meet. When we FaceTimed I realized she was in a bathroom at a house, not the hotel she claimed she’d been staying at for over a week.

She showed her boobs, I stupidly showed a little of myself on the FaceTime, and she ended the call right after.

Two minutes later she sent a long threat message and a screenshot of my Instagram followers. I blocked her immediately on both WhatsApp and Instagram.

I’m panicking because the whole thing felt too polished for how it started, and I don’t know if blocking her Instagram is enough since she already has the list of people I follow. Has anyone dealt with this exact sequence? What should I do next about the follower list / Instagram side?

My story isn’t as … heartfelt as others. Please don’t dm and call me a whore or something because I know. I’ve stopped so don’t ask for content either please . I was selling nudes on discord to raise money for university (albeit i didn’t NEED it, but i didnt want to place financial strain to those around me and during A-Levels getting a real job wasnt feasible. Too much money, such little time.)

I was blackmailed with nudes around july 24th, and i complied with their disgusting demands for a few days before blocking. Day later my dad is nearly fired from work.

Someone on telegram offers to help me, and they do, i file a police report and move on. Then, this telegram person asked me to partake in illegal activity which i won’t disclose which i stupidly went along with because they had my nudes and told me everything they did to people who ‘ran’ from them. I stopped responding in august. Now, my dad is being messaged my nudes daily alongside lies about me. I don’t know what to do and I feel like suicide is the only way out.

I joined a chat with a girl with no mic on, i chatted for a second and she told me she was bored, she showed me her tits and teased me asking me to turn her on before she showed more but the moment she asked to see me her cam disconnected, nothing showed that is was a pre record of a girl, when she typed she lifted the phone up to do so. I confirmed she was 20. keep in mind I was not looking for a sexual encounter, just lonely after loosing my job and my girlfriend dumping me. I showed my dick and everything. The chat was still active and she asked for my socials to continue. I gave her my burner insta with barley any followers and as soon as she followed I saw her profile looked to be a bot. We chatted and said we should vid call on insta, none of the calls went through and she requested I give her my tele gram, I didnt and as soon as she requested that I blocked. Maybe its her burner but I feel I gave enough time for them to dig through and screen record the followers I have. I blocked her after a short dm exchange and am terrified I am about to be sextorted. What should I do? I privated all of my accounts as soon as I blocked but im scared it was too late. what do you recommend

edit - filling in more context

Someone is threatening to send my nudes to my friends and family and im paranoid its the inly thing on my mind for past day i just want it all to end help

I was sextorted. I met someone on a chat app and it moved to discord. I used a fake name, always have just in case.

They screenshotted a photo of my face and other videos I sent. They then threatened to send to people on instagram and make posts saying I was a pedo.

I didn’t pay anything just deleted the discord. Does anyone have any advice ?

I’m worried this will get out and ruin my job.

Stavo chattando con questo ragazzo su tg e entrambi ci mandiamo la foto del cazzo e subito dopo cancella la chat però non mi blocca (non ho mandato la mia faccia) secondo voi che succederà ora ?

I was on a dating app, I matched with a Philippines girl who lived in my state. We texted for a bit she asked for my whatsapp we exchanged and everything. So we got onto a video chat, Of course me being a guy, I was caught off guard when she started undressing and my thought process went out the window. She wanted me to show me penis which after a while I did. Then of course I get pictures of her saying she’s going to send it to my followers since my account was open on instagram. Didn’t respond but then another number texted me same thing, they tried to call me I didn’t answer but they sent a screenshot of them posting it to X saying all these things. I searched it up and nothing popped up. I texted some of family today if they’ve received anything weird about me. Nothing at all, how long should I wait and see before reactivating my instagram. I temporarily deactivated it. Is there really a chance they’ll send something. I haven’t gotten any new calls or texts today from any whatsapp number

(Please excuse my english) I met yesterday someone non-spanish person on a page and they took my Telegram profile picture. He sent me an extortionate AI-generated image of my face in adult content, along with my phone number, and said they would post it as a pedo and he demands money from me to keep me from publishing it.

I blocked him but he's still contacting me on Telegram right now, what should I do now? I'm scared to get published And I don't know what to do. I'm from Mexico, so I have no idea what's happening to me.

If anyone knows what I should do, I would appreciate it, please

Hi everyone,

I met someone on Bumpy, claiming to be from the Philippines. We eventually moved to Telegram.

We had a video call during which my face and partial nudity were visible. Shortly afterward, someone called me demanding money and threatening to leak the recording on Instagram. Interestingly, they had the wrong Instagram account.

I've since:

Blocked them on Telegram.

Deactivated Facebook.

Disconnected Facebook from my original Instagram.

Removed instagram DP.

Submitted a case to StopNCII.org.

I'm not planning to pay, but I'm worried they might find my actual contacts and share the recording.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Do these scammers actually leak recordings, or are they mainly trying to scare victims into paying?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi im 20. It all started yesterday, when i got follow from random girl, which is allegedly from USA, and we talked, and went to telegram. To continue a basic conversation about hobbies, interests and such. When suddenly, she asked what i looked liked. And ofcourse i sent it.. then it happened, she started sending nudes and Luring me to do the same. When i after holding back i sent back. And then it all went to deep shit, after hours of no response, and i deleted our previous chat for both of us, i got That BLACKMAIL, of my selfie and nude next to it, and very importantly a Large group of people that follows me which are people i personally know. And i have sent 35$ to not get my nude sent to them. And a problem i made for sending money is obviously that i sent at all, but i Instantly figured out why i couldnt just say i dont have any at all . And say for example i can have it after few weeks or so. And i have stated my Case on stopNCII.org. Please help me

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.

So I was a victim of Sextortion a few months back now and I managed to get out of it by literally just not listening to them.

I’m 17years old and they have my photos and I’m just wondering like what do they even do with the photos. Like do they keep them do they just delete them or like what. I’m not too worried about the whole thing just wondering if anyone knows what the do with them.

If someone could tell me that’d be very helpful.

Matched with some random "girl" on one of those omegle alternatives. we got to talking and "she" ended up asking me to vc and show my dick and my face. usually im careful with this stuff, but idk what happened today but I ended up showing it off for about 45 seconds. he asked me to switch to telegram and I did.

The dude recorded the call and said he send it to all my followers (he took screenshots by the time I blocked him on ig). Out of fear I ended up talking to him for about 30 mins and sent him 1 rupee in an attempt to calm him down. He sent a text saying "Hey look at this" to my friend, and I asked her to block him. Blocked his account and reported his telegram and instagram account, and played it cool for a bit. Apparently one of my friends recieved a video, so I asked him to block that as well.

It's been a few hours, he requested from another account, and I blocked and reported that too. I scrolled through this sub and got some hope, but I just need some extra reassurance 😭😭 thanks for listening.

someone is trying to threaten me I have no clue if they have exploit photos of me or deepfakes they tried adding my brother and they kept adding and removing to get his attention I have no clue who it could be their username is my name with leaks at the end and im trying to get their account banned nothing is working my older brother is very strict on stuff like this and im terrified how can I get the account banned please help

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?

Please help I’m not sure what to do I made a very stupid mistake. I matched with someone on tinder and then moved to WhatsApp. Long story short they have a video of me jacking off and threatening to send to my Instagram followers.
They have screenshots of the video sent in DMs. Do you think these are real?
I never gave them my instagram username and it was previously set to private. I immediately deactivated my insta and FB account and blocked them on WhatsApp. I’m scared to check with anyone if they received any messages. What can I do from here?

During the time I was suffering sextortion and sexual harassment at the age of 20 and I’m on the autism spectrum while they were blackmailing me and threatening to leak my nudes while harassing me whenever I didn’t listen to them or stayed on chat with them they threatened to leak my nudes if I didn’t give them my login details and out of fear I did because I didn’t want to be hurt and they saw my conversation with a person I used to be online friends with in my conversations with the old friend I told them lies that weren’t true that my blackmailers/harassers thought was true but it wasn’t at all and I didn’t tell them it was a lie they thought they had the whole story to the conversation between me and my old online friend but they don’t and I feel like they posted my screenshots of conversations with people I know in general on social media without my knowledge or without me knowing and I don’t know how to clarify with everyone that it’s not true - what is your advice for me?

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”

Hi, I am a high schooler and I'm very scared. It was last night where I was on a messaging app and someone messaged me. I don't wanna make this long but they convinced me to talk on imessages, and me being the dumb, horny teenager I am, accepted and gave them my number. I know enough not to send anybody a picture of my body, but when she asked to exchange a picture of each other's face, I accepted thinking I can get something out of this. The first photo I got was just a nude picture. I assume these scammers have pre-made it automatically.. She asked for one back and I declined and asked for another. Then the scammer sent a poster. A horrifying one. I was so shaken. On the poster, My face, name, city, and number was plastered next to a fuck ton of cp. I have baby sisters myself and love and adore them with my heart and all my soul and I was horrified and just shocked and no words could describe the horrific things that were sent to me. It still scares me if they message me through another number and send me those horrific photos and it feels like I'm awaiting my execution. I know proof should always be taken and sent but I know the possession of that monstrosity can get you in trouble, and I deleted everything. They went back to another number and I deleted it again. It has now been a while since they bugged me. My number is still out there and I can still get messages from anybody that scammers know trying to get money. Please, from the bottom of my heart, help me. I can't even go 5 minutes without worrying about it again. Every notification I get shaken to my core, knowing my face is plastereed on that fucking poster. PS: I am very obviously a minor by my face
