Cyber sextortion<\/a> is a form of online blackmail where attackers blackmail victims using sexually explicit material. They coerce individuals to send them explicit images and threaten to share these pictures with their family and friends or post them publicly unless payment is made. It often causes significant distress and can lead to personal, professional, and financial ruin.<\/p>\n One of the scare tactics they use is to coerce their victims into believing that the only way the harassment and threats will end is if they just follow the demands of their sextortionist and pay their ransom. They make false promises of deleting their victims\u2019 content once a payment is sent and will disappear and never be heard from again.<\/p>\n To many victims, this sounds like the best choice. Send one payment, and their nightmare will end. Unfortunately, the opposite happens. Once a payment is sent, a victim solidifies their plan, which will only encourage them to return and demand more money.<\/p>\n Instead, you should avoid engaging with your sextortionist\u2019s demands at all costs! Once they know you have the funds and are capable of sending the amount they want and even more, they will never end their terror. Make as many excuses as possible for your inability to fulfill their ransom, and immediately contact experts and authorities.<\/p>\n You should also quickly report their account to Snapchat and any other social media platforms you have added them.<\/p>\n The first step to reporting a crime on Snapchat involves blocking the attacker\u2019s account. You can do this by clicking on their name, selecting the settings icon, and then selecting the block option. After that, they report their account to Snapchat by submitting a report to their customer support team.<\/p>\n<\/span>Avoiding Engaging with Their Demands<\/span><\/h3>\n
