When this happened to me, I wrote back and said I just fucked your sister and she was great.

Never heard back from them again.

I think Kantuchdis was joking.

Once you pay, they will have proof of your payment via Paypal. In other words, it will be much harder to deny if they follow through the next time they threaten you. Once you pay, you are their annuity forever.

There's another scam where you get an email with a password associated with your email that's available on the dark web because of one of the various data breaches. They say that they have taken control of your computer camera and have video of you doing something raunchy. They also claim to have all the email addresses in your contact list and from your email, and threaten to release the video to everyone if you don't pay. It's unnerving, because it's probably a password that really connects to you, but the threat is total bs.
i got that one too on my computer at work i did not reply as i don’t have a camera on it i deleted the email and never heard from them again

Who are they going to expose? The reprobate who stole your online identity and CC info only to start a chat account? I had my debit card info stolen years ago, they opened a match-dot-com account in my name. They even had the 3 dig. CVV and my address. I laughed and said I hope they made my profile look as though I’m 6’5”, in shape, and have a chin you could crack coconuts on. The best part was they tested my card info by buying a $1 bottle of holy water at some fly-by-night church in AZ.

Obviously the black mailers are not going to erase the evidence even after you pay. $500 isn't much, but it's just gonna get worse from there. Just tell them to fuck off and erase everything. if they reach out to your family just say it's fake. (or simply own up to what you did.... Judging from the online nature of it I guess you did not have any physical encounters..so I guess nothing serious happened..) these mothafuckers should suffer the same pain.
Don't even reply. Replying lets them know they have a live person. They may well send a massive spam shot out threatening an entire database of contacts that they stole, with no real incriminating info., and jsut count on a certain percentage panicking.

yeah, I got that email a few times.. ironically, I don't have a computer camera.. so I KNOW it's BS.. but if I DID have a camera.. I'd ask them to send me proof of what they had before I even thought about paying anything.

Thank you all, I am still receiving text messages from this asshole. When I ignored him he tried from a few other numbers to see if I would respond. In this case I haven't done anything illegal but it also wouldn't be hard for him to embarrass me professionally and send something to my wife.

Pete, how would he know where you work and how to contact your wife? From some text messages, it's not likely he got your home phone number, wife's cell number or your address.

I sstepped into something a few weeks ago that seemed like someone was setting me up. It was an Seeking arrangement exchange. Never said or sent anything that was very incriminating, but as soon as I sensed someone was setting me up I let them know that I turned everything over to the New Haven field office of the FBI. Never hearad from them again.

Pete, I have received all kinds of threats by text message, e-mail, voicemail. My mode of operation is to just ignore them. If they have something, let them prove it. These operations tend to just prey on your fears. Hope this idiot just goes away and crawls back into his hole. All the best to you !

I posted a few weeks ago about someone posing to be the police using phone number spoofing. I also had someone on Facebook try to blackmail for looking at them naked (it was a video on loop) when they FaceTimed me. They’re looking for suckers. They won’t follow through

Thank you all who responded to this text. The guy has escalated his efforts but I continue to ignore him. He is now threatening to tell my kids as well.

Just tell them you have provided law enforcement all their texts as an extortion plot and they should pray you don't find them first. I watched the John Wick trilogy too many times over the weekend.

As for the family, just tell em you clicked on a phishing email link by mistake and they are doctoring all this for extortion. You would have said something about it but you didn't want to admit you were stupid for falling for that Apple/geek squad/amazon id scams that are going around. Those Amazon ones have almost fooled me before until I check where the email was sent from.

Best to have a burner phone. Use a separate browser and VPN for this hobby. Don't use you other active/social Media email accounts. Yes it can be a PIA when you have one computer. But if someone hacks your hobby accounts they aren't linked into your private accounts. Keep the 2 separate as much as possible.

I have even slipped my self. I have "friends" that provide and they have my personal phone #. Well on a popular social media site they have come up a recommended friends. Whatever you do don't become friends. This is how things get jacked up. If I was married and had some real money with a wife and kids and a public job, my provider friend could secretly video tape a session with complete access to all my family and friends. You're talking major problems.

Report them to the site if applicable and go dark. Sexploitation is on the rise. They don’t have time or energy to ruin someone’s life because they’re in the volume business and ROI matters. If you disappear they’re not going spend time finding you IMHO.
