So, twice in one month.
Yeah, it happened again. I’ve never posted on this community, but it’s come to my attention that a lot of people are concerned over this issue, and they should. Personally, my first time was a few days ago and I kind of just zoned out, didn’t know what to do.
In these situations, please, please, please be careful of who you’re texting, even if they send “real” photos to prove they’re a woman or a guy, it’s easy to replicate that stuff. The chances of these people actually exposing you is low because if they do, then they lose their leverage and then get one step closer to being caught by law enforcement. As the usual protocol for being blackmailed, immediately block them, don’t pay them a cent, save all the messages and chat logs, get proof before they try and backpedal and delete their own logs. Today I was too irritated to save the proof, but I just set up a case with stopncii. It’s a reliable, if a bit limited site because sometimes images can spread anyways.
For these situations, just remember that although being exposed because someone has your shit isn’t your fault, the blame doesn’t fall to you. You’re an innocent victim dealing with some clown on the other side of the world who’s trying to extort money out of you because they can’t be bothered to make it themselves. Be safe, and remember that people are there for you.
