ONLINE BLACKMAIL

Sometimes people make the mistake of trusting someone they met on a dating site or a social site. They forget or ignore the fact that the person they are chatting with is an unidentified stranger. 

Blackmail and sextortion occur after victims send compromising photos or videos. However, it is essential to know that online extortion also involves information, like trash talking family, friends, neighbors, or a boss.

Unfortunately, once a victim sends pictures, videos, or information there is no turning back. The dilemma comes when the blackmailer demands money. The question is, do you pay or not? If you pay, they come back for more, and there will be no end in sight. Not adhering could trigger the blackmailer to action.

Forget the idea of paying; it is a lose, lose situation, and you will dig yourself deeper into victimization. However, since you do not know how the extortionist will react, I suggest preparing for the worst and consider damage control. 

I have spent years helping clients climb out of precarious situations. My tools and expertise have always been deception based. Which means, I battle deception, with deception. If you are a victim of blackmail or sextortion, I can help.  The first step is to set up a phone, email, or video consultation.

Note: Hiring a private investigator or cybersecurity company to trace or locate the blackmailer serves no purpose. What matters is preventing exposure.
