Sextortion Help
Sextortion is a crime, and it is not your fault. Don't pay and don't panic — follow these steps, and use a face search to find where your images have been posted so you can get them taken down.
Sextortion — someone threatening to share your private photos unless you pay or send more — is one of the fastest-growing online crimes, and it targets people of every age and gender. The single most important thing to know: paying almost never makes it stop, and you are the victim of a crime, not the one who did something wrong. Below is what actually helps, including how a reverse face search can show you whether and where your images have already been posted, so you can act.
Paying or sending more rarely ends it; it usually signals you'll comply and invites further demands. Stop responding, but don't delete anything yet.
Screenshot the messages, usernames, profile links, and any posts before you block. You'll need them to report to platforms and police.
Report the account to the platform and to law enforcement — sextortion is a crime. If anyone involved is under 18, contact police immediately and NCMEC's Take It Down / CyberTipline.
Search your own face with FaceSeek to find public pages where your photos may have been posted, so you can request takedowns and document what's out there.
Almost never. Paying signals that the threats work and typically leads to more demands, not fewer. Stop contact, preserve evidence, and report it instead.
