Sent Pics Being Blackmailed Scam

So you or someone you know sent revealing pics to someone online pretending to be an attractive girl or guy that wanted to see you and now you've got some gross person saying they will blackmail you.

DO NOT PAY
Report their on the platform they are blackmailing on and block all contact. Do not respond to their demands, don't get one last word in about how much you hate them just block contact and move on.

That's it. Blackmail scammers have very little reason to actually send your pictures to anyone. Blackmail is a crime and a scammer sending your nude pictures to people is a sex crime.

If you already sent money to the scammers, contact your bank or credit card company. You may not be able to recover the money, unfortunately. But, you should not send more. The scammers will ask for more money until they can't get anymore from you. It's a hard lesson on scams but one you can recover from.

If you are still concerned about the potential blackmail after following the steps above, please understand that this is a scam and a crime. You are not alone and you should not be afraid of reporting it. Call your local police department.

If the police haven't been able to help you feel more secure or you want to know more about sex crimes, this website contains resources including chat lines:

And, remember that no level of embarrassment is worth your life. Life is full of weird and embarrassing moments and they are temporary and not worth taking your life over. If a scam or sextortion or anything else has caused you to consider suicide, speak to someone you trust immediately, a police officer, family, a friend or contact the suicide hotline in your country.
