If threatened: do not pay, keep the messages, report it to the police

If someone threatens to publish your messages, photos or other private data unless you pay, paying does not guarantee that they stop. Keeping the evidence and reporting it lets the police and the platform act on it. Free.

How to do it

  1. Do not send money, and do not reply with more information.
  2. Keep the messages, the sender's accounts and phone numbers, and any payment details they ask for, for example as screenshots.
  3. Report it to the police.
  4. If they threaten to post something on a platform, report the account to that platform as well.
