Out of interest, where would a scammer likely spread these images and videos to if they weren’t to send to my ‘contacts’.
I’m asking as I would like to be attentive to these sites or pages and report/have them removed..
Thank you!

A few hours ago I found someone on reddit and it led to some sexting. Of course being horny I sent nudes without thinking of the consequences of it, for once it wasn't an OF seller so I felt more confident. It happened on telegram, I received a screen capture of a website telling it was looking for information about me. At the moment I panicked but after some research I don't have a personalized username on telegram and my phone number is available only to people in my contact list. Is there any chance the photo might be leaked or am I safe ? Btw I have blocked the scammer and stoped the conversation as soon as there was threat, I haven't received message by mail or Instagram so I believe they haven't find any of these.

hello this is the first time i post on a subreddit so im not very familiar with this, anyways me and a girl from my school used to text and one day we started texting in a intimate way and sent images so turns out the girl took screenshots from another device and she said she doesnt remember or knows who she sent it too (i talked to her recently) keep in mind this was 3 years ago and my school knew and teachers knew about this the girl failed her class and had to redo with a class younger than us by a year, forward to this present day ive been getting blackmailed by a person on an multiple alt accounts on tiktok (its someone from my school under a fake name and he keeps creating accounts) i never thought much of it at first since the person messaged me privately “hi i want to talk to u about something” but then he showed our messages from 3 years ago and he threatened to post my intimate pictures but i blocked him and today he viewed my profile under the same name (he claims that he is in her class and that i “ruined” his life when i said the texts are deliberately ai) and i blocked him, do i let this situation go?

I'm an underage male and started talking to a girl who I thought was also my age. We talked for a few days and she asked me to do a few things and send a bunch of stuff and i did it. Ik how stupid i am. Now she's blackmailing me. I cant pay her but how will i know if she sends my pics and stuff to people i know?
Im embarrassed and hate my life rn. I cant believe i fell for this

Im getting sextorted rn and this is very scary, im even scared to write something here, if anyone can dm me, please that would be a big help

Hi

So i was using this chatapp called Ometv where you chat with random people around the world. There's a lot of crazy stuff going on this app.

A couple of times, i exposed myself when I got caught up in the moment.

Now I'm concerned because my face was visible. I never shared any of my social media handles. But I have a small social media following and if someone did a backward search they would easily find me online.

Since then, I have made my social media account private and a random account keeps trying to add me even if i decline the request. Im worried this is someone who has captured footage of me.

How should I deal with this? Im afraid of ever making my Instagram account public again

Hi everyone,

I'm posting here because my girlfriend has been targeted by someone on Steam, and we're looking for advice on whether there's anything else we should do.

Out of nowhere, this person started claiming that he has nude photos of my girlfriend and began making disgusting sexual comments about her. We know for a fact that these claims are completely false.

What's even more confusing is that we have absolutely no connection to this person. We have zero mutual friends, he's not an ex or someone either of us has ever known, and as far as we can tell, the only thing we have in common is that we're from the same country. We have no idea why he targeted her.

We immediately reported the account to Steam Support. Steam has acknowledged the report, and we're currently waiting for the outcome.

I have:

• Screenshots of the harassment.
• The harasser's Steam profile ID.
• A screenshot of Steam Support confirming they received the report.

I'm not posting those publicly right now to avoid violating subreddit rules or exposing personal information, but I can provide them to the moderators if needed.

My main questions are:

• Is there anything else we should do besides reporting the account?
• Has anyone dealt with a similar situation on Steam?
• If Steam issues a community ban, does that usually prevent someone from continuing this kind of harassment?

Thankfully, no money has been demanded, and this doesn't appear to be a typical financial sextortion scam. Instead, it seems to be a case of targeted sexual harassment involving false claims and intimidation.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Last night I received DMs on tiktok from someone posing as a real person. I gave them my number and I flirted with them and eventually ended up sending explicit pictures of myself. My face isn’t in the explicit photos but they have pictures of my face and my Tiktok. I ended up sending them money to delete the pictures which fueled them to hound even more money out of me. They have a screenshot of my friends on tiktok and are threatening to send the text messages and photos to them if i don’t send more money. I’m very stressed out and blocked both numbers they tried contacting me on and I privated my socials. Any tips or anything to ease my mind?

This might not be exactly the right post for this group, but I'm desperate and don't know what else to do. I got hit up by this guy on tiktok when i was going live, and he said add him on snap for money. Was probably my first mistake, but idk. We started talking, and he wanted pics and vids for money. He also sent videos of what he was looking for of other girls, so he's done this to other people too. I wanted him to send some money first, but he refused, and wanted the videos first. I should have asked for the money first, and I know that, but idk what to do now, because he saved the videos, screenshotted my snap, and he has my tiktok. He also said he would pay me extra if I let him share the videos to get other girls to trust him, so I did that. After that he blocked me. Idk what to do. If it gets leaked, can I take legal action?

So I am a recent victim of sextortion. It happened just yesterday after taking the conversation off Tinder. They ended up getting my entire followers list of Instagram along with nudes which had my face in them.

I followed the advice here to a tee. Barely read the demands and blocked them off everything and deactivated my Instagram. Spoke to a few close friends for reassurance too. I was looking at the stats from the poll/pinned post PDF and got a little worried today when I saw that ~20% of blackmailers just post stuff anyway if they're blocked. It's been less than 24hrs and nothing's happened so far. How much longer before I'm in the clear and I know for sure they've given up?

All this to say, I'd really appreciate having someone to talk to. I'm not sure how long I have to be cautious for and what precautions I need to take moving forward to make sure I'm never contacted again. Also happy to talk to other victims.

Met them on TikTok, talked for a bit, asked for my number, sent it to them, talked on there to which they asked me to download telegram to send each other pics, i sent them 2 nudes, they sent me some as well told me they were going to ruin my life if I didn’t pay them 300 so I blocked them. Just want to know if they’re bluffing or not

So on the 30th of may unfortunately I got scammed, they have my insta and my number, I’ve changed my insta name since and it’s hard to find me but they could if they was looking for me, I’m going travelling soon and wanted a public insta but have to keep it private atm because of this, I haven’t heard anything since the day and the pics have my face scribbled out so there’s no real proof it’s me, I’ve made another insta that’s also hard to find and he probably couldn’t find so should I just keep my account private for now and am I worrying about the wrong things, should I make my account public or keep it private

Pleaes help guys I was on omelgeapp.me and i cam across a guy who said this. Please help me. This is an accurate thing which. means my stuff is out there. Im so scared please I need help. please guys what do i do. I haven't shown my face yet thought which is what's confusing me. I did show it before but separately. I've shown my face and body separately not to the same people. but the shaving part is accurate, so I thinkn this is true. guys please help. I can't have this stuff and there is one instnace where i did show my face, but i'm pretty convinced he wasn't recording for other reasons, so i'm not worried about that. The part where i said it was my first time was a lie btw i was just scared.

Being sextorted after sending $700. They have my face, phone number, and explicit photo. What should I do?
I’m over 19 and I think my life is over and I made a huge mistake. I sent an explicit picture that includes my face to someone online.
They said if I don’t give them more money they going to send to all of my followers and they got 1400 from know and he said I need to give em 600 to stop

So i just blocked the guy who was blackmailed me, he said if u don't update me till tomorrow (today) i will ruin ur life send them all..

Will he still send this staff? If yes, how do i handle the situation arround my family? My friends? Especially girls.

I don't mind boys they will just roast me and have a laugh, but family, relatives and girls are different.

I am going to say that it was an AI, i recorded some videos which i can say were originals and they altered it, i hope they will believe

I met this person on reddit was talking and things got a little heated and we flirted and were sexting (on telegram), received a couple of pictures from their side I was in total assurance it’s all legit (I was terribly wrong) I was asked to send mine and I sent, asked to show a selfie saying you must be really handsome and to my sheer stupidity I sent a selfie.

Suddenly I get a screenshot with my real name, contact number and a paragraph written about r*pe threat and so on. I was threatened it will be shared to my family members and I should comply with their request. I didn’t even read the entire message. I instantly cleared the text from both ends and I blocked them. I deactivated my social media accounts (IG, FB) and went completely ghost on linkedin.

I am afraid what’s gonna happen. I didnt entertained them I blocked and removed all traces as soon as I saw it’s a scam and I am being targeted.

What’s gonna happen I am scared.

UPDATE: 12 hours passed and no contact made.

Hi everyone, recently been going through a bad break up and have resorted to using sites like X to fill the void.

Long story short, I sent some nudes (No face just my dick and legs lol) to a person online who seemed legit and right after I did that they stopped responding.

My account on X is 100% a burner with no way for them to find any other social media or personal info of mine. But I do have 1 worry... they had asked me to follow them on Instagram and I didn't. All I did was view their profile and proceed with talking to them. After they stopped responding I went and privated my IG and blocked their Instagram.

Im just worried and spiraling, is there a way that in the span of like an hour (how long we chatted) that instagram would recommend my account to them? Even the photo I sent was a screenshot of a video so even if there WAS metadata it should be inaccurate. (Dont think there was any to begin with)

Any words if advice are appreciated :)

Saw a post on a sub Reddit for talking (nsfw) and I added this girl on telegram. She asked to talk on insta so I stupidly added her on my main one , one thing leads to another she sends about 3 videos and I send a 5 second clip pleasuring myself and then they send a screen recording of it with screenshots of my instagram and all my friends and family’s accounts demanding $600 I’ve sent around $400 but they still want the rest and I can’t do that . What do I do I’m scared and embarrassed, they threaten to send it to everyone

I matched with someone on a dating app who said she was 22. We exchanged numbers and a few days later she sent me unsolicited nudes. Today someone claiming to be her father called me and said she's 15. Someone else called me claiming to be a police officer and said he wanted this to be resolved without charging me. The father called me back wanting money saying his daughter tried to commit suicide. And they want me to pay for the rehab program. I know it's likely a scam but I'm really terrified it's real. The father and the officer both sounded really convincing in their roles. As soon as money was mentioned I blocked them both. I called the police department to reach the officer in a verifiable way. They said there was no one by that name. I'm scared I've hurt someone without intending to, I'm scared I'm going on the registry. What do I do. Someone please tell me.

First of all, I respectfully ask you not to remove this post. I’m posting this because I genuinely want to warn people in this community, especially younger users and girls. If this subreddit has people looking for friends, it can also attract dangerous individuals.
A few months ago, I made a post looking for friends because I simply wanted someone to practice English with. That’s all my intention was.
One of the people who contacted me later deleted his Reddit account. According to what he told me, he was in his 30s, lived in Switzerland, worked at an airport, and had Kurdish roots. I have no way to verify whether any of that is true, but I’m including screenshots of what he told me in case it helps someone recognize him.
He kept trying to get very close to me very quickly, which made me uncomfortable. I asked for his social media because I was already suspicious. He suggested we move to Discord instead. I also noticed that his accounts looked very new, which made me even more cautious.
I ignored him for a long time, but he continued messaging me.
Then, out of nowhere, he sent me forwarded photos and videos of what appeared to be a very young girl. She looked clearly underage—far younger than 16. The content included her face and body, and it was obvious she was a child. From her appearance, she also seemed to be from the Middle East.
That was the moment I realized this was far beyond just a creepy conversation.
I’m sharing his Discord username in the screenshots because I hope someone can identify him or knows the proper way to report him. I don’t want to contact him or let him know I’m making this post because I’m afraid he’ll simply delete that account too.
If, by any chance, the girl in those photos ever sees this, or if anyone recognizes the situation or this person, please speak up.
Most importantly, I want this to be a reminder to everyone here:
Please don’t trust someone just because they reply to your “looking for friends” post. Take your time, verify who you’re talking to, and never feel pressured to move to another platform or become close to someone you’ve just met online.
If anyone knows the correct way to report a Discord account involved in something like this, or has any advice on what I should do next, I’d really appreciate your help.

Edit: it was suppose to be in makingfriends sub but they removed my post!

**Edit:** Reddit wouldn’t let me upload the screenshots to this post, so I’ll upload them separately and add a link with all the screenshots and the information I have about him. **Please check them before reaching any conclusions*
