" Dear Dennis,

I came across your website after reading your fantastic articles on how to deal with Instagram sextortion and how to handle blackmail on Snapchat. Thank you for that. I have a similar issue.

A few days ago I met a woman online through Facebook. We chatted for a few days, then she convinced me to do a video call. When I answered, she was already undressed and doing things to her body - that's when she asked me to reciprocate. As soon as I did, the call ended abruptly. A few minutes later, she sent my video back to prove I was recorded, then started making demands: if I don't pay, she's going to release my pictures and videos to friends and family on Facebook and followers on Instagram.

I freaked out and sent $300 to Burkina Faso (Africa) with promises it would end - but as soon as the money cleared, they said I have to keep on paying the remainder ($15,000 initially demanded). They want to put me on a payment plan to 'finish paying it off'. They are making me check in daily - whenever they say 'Hello', I have to respond, otherwise they will start threatening me again.

Yesterday I shut down my social media accounts and blocked the scammers, but after reading another one of your articles on "should I ignore a blackmailer," I understand this is a bad idea. I've been subscribed to your website now for over 10 years and I know you are the man when it comes to dealing with online scams. Can you PLEASE HELP? "

With that said: before we get into the meat and potatoes of the article, let's start by answering a few questions: What is sextortion and how does it work?

The Hallmarks of a Sextortion Scam

Sextortion can begin almost anywhere online - on dating apps (Ashley Madison, Grindr, Tinder, Plenty of Fish), chat sites (Omegle, ChatRoulette), chat apps (WhatsApp, Snapchat), gaming platforms (Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite), social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), or even through a random "wrong number" (on purpose) SMS text message. If you're wondering whether the same thing can happen elsewhere - yes, it can. For instance, someone being blackmailed on Google Chat faces almost identical tactics and threats.

Once scammers make contact, they'll steer the conversation toward gathering personal details about you, using charm or curiosity to uncover your social media accounts in order to collect your list of contacts.

Just like in Peter's story, it doesn't take long before blackmailers pressure you to turn on your video camera or send intimate photos. On their end, the "person" you're chatting with can't speak to you (because "her microphone is broken" and can only type back through chat). When you answer the call, she is often already naked and performing - a setup designed to record you the moment you respond.

Based on what I've learned from speaking with many victims, that so-called "live video" is often nothing more than a recording of another female victim who was previously sextorted. In other words, they're recycling footage from past victims to trap new ones. Twisted, isn't it?

Once the blackmailers have captured your compromising material, the threats start fast. They claim they will send your pictures or videos to your contacts unless you pay. In nearly every case, they target your wife or girlfriend first, then move on to your family, and then everyone else connected to your social media.

How Male Victims Get Trapped in Sextortion Scams

When men are targeted, scammers usually follow a well-rehearsed playbook.

The chat begins casually - a friendly hello, a flirty comment, or a suggestive photo meant to break the ice. Before long, they'll escalate the conversation into something intimate and push for a video call, claiming she wants to "see your face." At the same time, that's when she tells you that her "microphone is broken" and can't speak to you over the phone - she can only type through chat without audio.

Behind the scenes, however, it's a different story. Once connected over video call and while you're distracted in the heat of the moment, other members of the blackmail group are busy scraping your social media - downloading your Facebook or Instagram profile, running reverse lookups on your phone number, and identifying your family members. Even if you don't use social media, someone close to you usually does, giving them a direct line to people you know.

This information becomes their leverage. Once you're recorded, they use your own contacts to deliver their threats - proving that blocking them or deleting your accounts won't make the problem go away.

Why Women Often Fall Double Victim to Sextortion Scams

Women experience sextortion differently - often more gradually, but with much harsher financial and emotional impact.

Scammers know that women usually don't rush into intimacy straight away, so they build fake trust first. They might pose as a soldier stuck on a military base overseas, a wealthy entrepreneur, bitcoin investor, musician, and - believe it or not - a real actor from Hollywood, complete with a fake profile, photos, and stories designed to seem genuine.

In fact, many female victims I speak to have met the blackmailer through a Facebook Dating WhatsApp scam. They initially make contact through a Facebook Dating profile, then after some back and forth, the conversation moves to WhatsApp where the isolation and pressure increases. I once spoke to a female victim who thought she was privately sexting with Vin Diesel - until he started asking her for money and she became suspicious. (I can't make this stuff up!)

Over weeks or even months, blackmailers weave emotional connections and gain sympathy, often asking for small amounts of money under the guise of an "emergency," or "he's down on his luck on the military base and needs your help." Once trust is firmly established, the conversation gradually turns romantic, then intimate.

By that point, the scammers have already collected everything they need - your photos, messages, and full social media identity. That's when the shift happens: affection turns into blackmail. It usually begins the moment you catch on to the scam or stop sending money willingly for their fabricated financial emergencies. From there, they either demand more explicit videos - so they can impersonate you and scam other men - or they demand additional payments to keep your nudes private.

It gets much worse, however.

Some scammers will take this scam astronomically further: they pose as crypto or bitcoin investors and lure you into what seems like a legitimate investment opportunity. It starts small - you invest a little and see an unbelievable return. This might go on for weeks. Some scammers will even send part of the money back to your bank to prove the money is real, building your trust before urging you to invest more. Before long, you're emotionally invested - talking about future trips, sharing personal details, and believing you've found a real relationship. That's when they get you to invest most of your life savings, and that's when the tone shifts. They begin asking for intimate photos or videos to show trust.

When strange things start happening and you grow suspicious and stop investing your money, everything flips into blackmail. The threats come fast: "Send more money or I'll expose you to your spouse." For example, in one case I worked on, the supposed bitcoin investor claimed he owed hundreds of thousands to a loan shark and needed help to pay it back - and that's when the loan shark starts texting you with your nudes stating that if you don't pay, the nudes will find their way to your spouse, and your new boyfriend is going to have a missing limb. Now why would the loanshark have your nudes? Because your new love interest willingly handed them over. That's what I mean by "when strange things start to happen." This makes no sense.

These cases are known as pig butchering scams - where scammers drain your life savings through fake investments, then double down with sextortion once they've trapped you emotionally and financially. I've talked about this in great length in another article related to WhatsApp crypto sextortion.

Dealing with Blackmail and Threats (Examples)

Once the threats start, panic sets in - and that's exactly what the blackmailers are counting on. They'll send screenshots of your wife, family, friends, or coworkers pulled from Facebook or Instagram to prove they know who they are and that they can still reach them - even if you shut down your social media.

In some cases, blackmailers will claim they've already uploaded your video to YouTube in "private mode" and will make it public unless you pay. Some will even send a screenshot with progress indicator as your video is being uploaded as proof.

Others will create fake sextortion posters [pic], stating that you're a wanted criminal for a sexual offence and threaten to share it with people you know.

Some will create nasty online profiles with your name, phone number, complete with pictures and videos of you they collected in the heat of the moment. Quite often they will threaten to share the link with people you know through social media. But they do much worse than that - they will do things you won't expect and quite frankly, cannot be undone. I know the worst of the worst and reserve this crucial information for my paying clients. Contact me here to find out more.

Other blackmailers may secretly infiltrate your friends list and "like" posts made by friends and family just to show you that they still have reach and can share your steamy pictures or videos whenever they want.

Some blackmailers will skip the niceties altogether and contact people you know through social media (usually Facebook or Instagram) along with your nudes. In other words, they follow through with their threats straight away without giving you any chances. That said, they usually only do this as a last ditch effort if you aren't co-operating. That's why I always recommend to stay in touch (even briefly) with the blackmailers so you don't spook them. I have strategies that show exactly how to do this without paying a dime - keeping the scammers calm and avoiding exposure. Want to find out more? Contact me here.

In other cases I've worked on, they will post your video on an adult website along with your full name and phone number, then share the link to friends and family through social media.

The list goes on.

This kind of psychological warfare is intentional - it's designed to keep you paying. I've personally dealt with every one of the scenarios above (and much worse) and have developed proven ways to stop them before things spiral out of control. The result: blackmailers fail to follow through on their threats, and you stay protected from the worst of the worst scenarios. Contact me here to learn more - I reserve my most effective strategies for clients and reveal the absolute worst-case tricks and traps scammers use (much worse than what I mentioned above), so you'll always stay 3 steps ahead of the blackmailers.

On that note: if you want more pointers, be sure to check out my guide on how to stop sextortion. It provides more concrete examples on what to do and more importantly, what not to do - so that you don't make critical mistakes when the pressure is on.

What Happens if You Pay a Blackmailer?

Blackmailers know that fear leads to fast payments. Victims often send money through wire transfers, CashApp, Remitly, or gift cards just to make the nightmare stop - but it never does. In fact, it only makes things worse.

Once you pay, you've confirmed that you're willing to comply, and they'll keep demanding more. That's how this scam works 100% of the time. There's no reason for them to stop once they receive a payment - no matter how small or large the initial amount was.

Based on what victims have told me, each new demand is usually higher than the last and quite often, double the amount. On the flipside of that, sometimes scammers will start with an outrageous amount - say $15,000 - and after some back-and-forth "negotiation," you agree to send $50 in a panic in hopes to calm them down. Once they receive it, however, they'll claim you still owe $14,950 and insist on another payment ASAP, even though that wasn't what you agreed upon.

If you don't comply, then they might up the ante and put you on a blackmail payment plan, whereby you need to check in with them every other day when they say "Hello" through text message. (Quite often, African scammers pull this move quite a bit). If you don't respond, then they will start threatening you again with immediate retaliation.

Other scammers skip the payment plan altogether and simply disappear after receiving around $2,000 - only to reappear months later, starting the same cycle all over again.

Don't want that to happen to you? Reach out to me for help right now using our contact form. I've been working closely with victims of this scam for years and know every trick these criminals use and know how to shut it down ASAP. Since 2019, I've worked on more than 1,000+ cases and have a proven plan that gets results. Our business has been online since 2001 and holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Contact me now - you'll be glad you did.

Should I Ignore a Blackmailer?

Even if you stop responding (regardless of whether you paid anything at all), scammers often continue to threaten exposure; oftentimes this is done using other fake social media accounts.

If you stop responding for several hours or days - sometimes even weeks - many blackmailers will escalate by contacting people you know directly, then send you screenshots of those messages to prove they're still around and not giving up. They can continue their threats even if you block them on Facebook or Instagram, or shut down your accounts entirely, because they almost always ask for your phone number early on. That gives them another way to reach you and your contacts long after you think you've cut them off.

I do not recommend ignoring a blackmailer for this reason. Instead, I suggest staying in contact using strategies that prevent you from getting trapped in long, panic-driven chats. Instead, I suggest using short and scripted replies, alongside my zero-payment stall methods that show a convincing "failed" payment so the scammer thinks you tried to comply, but they get nothing in return. These steps calm the scammers down, make them still feel they are in control, and eventually causes them to lose interest without exposing you. Want to learn more about my plan? Contact me here.

Frequently asked Questions (FAQs) Regarding Sextortion

Below I will answer the most frequently asked questions I receive from victims.

Can You Locate the Blackmailer?

Many people ask me if it's possible to locate a blackmailer in hopes of reporting them to the police. While it is possible to approximate someone's location based on an IP address, it's most definitely not reliable and there are major limitations.

First and foremost, IP addresses are not hardcoded to a specific person, street, or exact location. They are leased by Internet Providers (typically on a 90 day lease), then renewed. In other words, a scammer using an IP address last week may not have the same IP address the following week.

Secondly, IP addresses provide an approximate geographical location ranging from 50km - 400km radius depending on whether the IP is located in a city, town, or rural area. Rural areas typically have a larger radius when it comes to pinpointing an approximate location simply because there isn't enough infrastructure.

That said: even if an IP address was obtained (often using a tracking link which requires that the link purposely clicked on by the blackmailer), the IP may not be reliable because the blackmailer may be using a VPN (virtual private network) or a burner phone which can easily be discarded. Even so, an IP address alone is not enough to identify someone. As far as I understand it, you would have to subpoena the IP to the Internet Provider using a lawyer, and oftentimes the blackmailers are located overseas. This takes time and money to produce - perhaps thousands of dollars, plus weeks or even months. By that time, the damage to your reputation or marriage is already done.

With all that in mind, victims hire me for one reason - to stop exposure before it spirals out of control. I do that with a clear, step-by-step plan that explains what blackmailers are capable of, how the scam typically progresses, the tricks and traps blackmailers use to force you to pay, and ways around it without getting exposed or paying them any more money. The goal is simple: make the scammers lose interest and move on. My approach gets results repeatedly, and it can work for you, too. If the worst happens, I also provide contingency plans that can help you explain the situation to family, employers, or other important people that shifts the blame and without making things worse.

A Company Says They Can ID and Arrest the Blackmailer. Is it True?

This question is more or less a continuation of the above question.

There is a company online that claims it can obtain "the blackmailer's true identity" by taking over the chat with the blackmailers (on your behalf). Once inside the chat, the company drops a tracking link and the blackmailers magically click on it to reveal their IP address, which, as I mentioned above, reveals their approximate location. Even though IP addresses are not hardcoded to individuals, names, or street addresses (because IPs are leased and renewed by Internet Providers typically every 90 days), the company still claims they can reveal the blackmailers "true identity" based on this method.

With that in mind, numerous complaints about the company on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website tell a much different story. According to the complaint reports, the company allegedly tells victims that it works with "local law enforcement overseas to get the blackmailers arrested" and/or can "force the blackmailers to delete all your information."

It's important to note that these claims can't be verified. Complaints on the BBB also suggest that the company charges extremely steep fees (such as $20,000 for same day service) and also has multi-phase services - you know, just in case the first Phase didn't work - even after the victim forked out thousands of dollars for help the first time around.

If you read through the BBB complaints, you'll see a clear pattern: the company promises were never fulfilled, the victim is out thousands of dollars for oversold "services," or is stuck on a contract / payment plan that will take months or years to pay off. Many complaints allege that the company is difficult to get a hold of after payment is received (and especially when trying to cancel) and often the client is ignored, hence the reason why the BBB is contacted in the first place. If payments to the company are missed, legal threats are made to garnish wages or destroy your credit score.

Here's my take: when in doubt about a company for hire, go to Google and type in the name of the company followed by the word "BBB". Once on the Better Business Bureau website, review the Complaints section to see if there is a nefarious pattern so that you can make an informed decision. For example, if the company's name was Analog Forensics, you would search for: "analog forensics BBB" in Google, then review the Complaints section.

For the record, our website and company have been online for 20+ years and has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Furthermore, we have never received a single complaint.

These invaluable guides contain proven strategies to help you take control of the situation before it escalates.

Should I Block a Blackmailer?

As I've mentioned many times before, blocking the blackmailers won't stop them from exposing you.

That's because:

(a) They already have a copy of your contacts' names even if you shut down your account, and

(b) platforms like Facebook and Instagram are open networks, meaning nothing prevents a blackmailer from creating a new account (or re-using an old account) and contacting people you know - even if you've blocked them or deleted your own profiles.

In fact, I argue that blocking a blackmailer can backfire horribly because once they realize you've blocked them, they usually escalate their threats by contacting people you know in order to try and get you back to the bargaining table. Don't believe me? Look at this picture of a conversation I collected from a victim I worked with, where the Facebook blackmailers [pic] made threats to the victim's contacts after he blocked them.

I have better ways to deal with this - ask me how.

What Happens if I Block a Blackmailer?

First, let's understand some basics: the blackmailers need to stay in frequent communication with you in order to keep on scaring you, so that they can keep on extorting you for money.

If you block them, they can't extort you anymore, and that's usually when things start getting nasty. Some scammers will expose you on the spot, while other scammers will go completely silent for a few days, and then they'll try again by around the 2 week mark. If they still can't get a hold of you, then that's when they will either expose you on the spot, or start playing mind games by reaching out to people you know, then will send you a picture to say "I'm still here."

In some circumstances, they will try and communicate to you through your friends and family. Sometimes they'll tell others that you enjoy little kids [pic] and claim they have a video to prove it. Even if they don't have a video of you specifically, they may use a video from another victim and claim it's you. In one case I worked on, they modified the victim's video which showed him having solo fun, then they cut to another scene which cut to a video of a very young female (not of consenting age), then cut back to the victim playing the fiddle. It's completely sick, and 100% true.

It gets far worse than that, however.

They often escalate with tactics you would not expect, and they do this intentionally. I keep a documented catalog of the worst abuses I have seen over the years when working closely with victims, and provide paid clients with those examples plus concrete, step-by-step countermeasures so you know exactly how to prevent and respond to each one. Interested in learning more? Contact me here.

That said, sometimes they do nothing at all because the threats are empty. Unfortunately you won't find out until it actually happens (or doesn't - if you're lucky). The fact of the matter is: you have a 50/50 chance of being exposed, no matter what you read online because it depends on which gang of criminals you're dealing with, their style of sextortion, how much money you've given them already, and what information they have on you - including pictures or videos you sent, and your list of contacts they were able to collect.

Don't take any chances - contact me now to get your case mitigated fast. Consultation with me is free. I have a proven plan and have handled 1,000+ cases.

Do Blackmailers Follow Through with Their Threats?

Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don't. You won't find out until it's too late, or unless you take proactive and preventative measures (like the ones I'm offering) which can significantly reduce the chances of your exposure. It all comes down to your specific circumstances, and what you have to lose.

In summary, please note that:

• Sextortion is almost always an organized crime. Scammers work in groups.
   
• Scammers are anonymous and operate with practical impunity.
   
• Scammers are usually overseas, even if you have information suggesting otherwise.
   
• Scammers will do anything to get your money and don't care about your excuses.

With that said:

1. If you paid any money, they will never stop asking for more.
    
2. If you paid the scammers anything to "buy yourself time" - think again - because someone else within the group will contact you and ask for more money. Sometimes you might be dealing with 3 or 4 scammers at a time and it's a competition to see who can get the most from you. Don't think for a moment you are safe from being contacted again before your "new deadline" to pay more. The scammers are not very well organized, and sometimes it's a free-for-all.
    
3. As each day that passes, you have a 50% chance of being exposed.

Should I Report Sextortion to the FBI?

Reporting sextortion to the FBI won't stop scammers from reaching out to friends and family on social media. You can if you want, but the FBI will not contact you or help you personally. The FBI IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center) website receives thousands - and perhaps tens of thousands - of complaints daily through their web form, and no human being at the FBI is going to filter through all the reports in order to personally assist you.

The only thing good about submitting a complaint through IC3's website is the data they collect from you, which is then aggregated to produce their annual crime reports each year which highlight Internet crimes by age, demographic, etc.

Examples:

• IC3 Annual Crime Report - 2021
• IC3 Annual Crime Report - 2022
• IC3 Annual Crime Report - 2023
• IC3 Annual Crime Report - 2024

Can the Police Help with Sextortion?

If it was this easy, you wouldn't be reading this article right now.

Based on the many, many testimonials I've heard from victims that I've spoken to over the phone: the police always recommend shutting down your social media accounts and blocking the scammers. Unfortunately, this isn't going to stop them from reaching out to friends, family, or your followers because they already have all your contacts (in most cases) and your pictures and videos. If you don't pay, then they will make threats to expose you. Some follow through on those threats and some don't. It's that simple. There are ways to sway this situation in your favor - I've already helped over 1,000+ clients do it. You can too - contact me here to find out how.

Should I Hire a Sextortion Lawyer?

In my humble opinion, hiring a lawyer (and even one that supposedly specializes in it) is a complete waste of time and money unless you know 100% who the perpetrator is, you have met them in person and they are verifiably 100% real flesh and blood, you know where they are located, and you can prove they are harassing you.

That said, the reason why hiring a lawyer won't work to stop most sextortion cases is simply because most blackmailers are overseas scammers, often located in Africa or the Philippines.

I also know for a fact that there is an online Law firm that is advertising their blackmail resolution services for $3,000. From what I've been told from previous victims: for that amount of money, you will receive a cease a desist order and minimal consultation.

After you pay for the service, the cease and desist is electronically delivered to the blackmailer usually through the same app you've been using to communicate with them. At this point, one of two things will happen:

1. The blackmailers will back off and leave you alone, OR
    
2. The blackmailers will become enraged and accelerate their plans to expose you

Option #1 is unlikely because (a) the blackmailers are typically overseas and anonymous, and (b) the blackmailers already know what they're doing is illegal, and (c) the blackmailers don't care what legal threats you may have because they are in another country and are operating with practical impunity.

Need a much better option with proven strategies that work? Contact me here and ask whatever you want - up to 15 minutes, free (some limitations apply). I've been studying this scam extensively since 2019, have completed over 1,000+ cases, and I'm happy to share my knowledge and experience with you.

Can You Force the Blackmailer to Delete My Pictures and Videos?

Short answer: no, and it's largely because the blackmailers are (a) in another country and anonymous, (b) they work in groups and have likely shared your information with other scammers.

Even if one scammer deletes your data, another copy likely still exists somewhere else. Many blackmailers keep that material and resurface months later to start the entire cycle again, demanding even more money. It happens far more often than people realize. I have proven methods to deal with this - including tools to monitor the Internet for any leaked content and strategies to stop exposure before it happens. These are part of the detailed plan I provide to paying clients.
