1. Stop and don't pay
Don't send money, gift cards, more photos or personal information. Payment does not guarantee threats will stop.
Being blackmailed? You have options.
BlackmailHelp offers calm, practical steps for anyone facing threats, sextortion or pressure to share money or intimate material. You don't have to handle it alone.
In immediate danger? If someone threatens your physical safety, contact local emergency services. In Finland, call 112. This website is information, not an emergency response or legal service.
What to do first
2. Preserve evidence safely
Keep usernames, messages, dates, transaction details and links where lawful. Avoid forwarding intimate images, especially images involving minors.
3. Secure your accounts
Change compromised passwords, enable two-factor authentication and review account recovery details and active sessions.
4. Report and get support
Report the threatening account to the platform, consider contacting police and tell a trusted person. You deserve support, not judgment.
