Online blackmail is a crime that can occur in any number of ways, but the most common example involves using threatening words to get someone else do what you want them too.

The threat might be against their own interests or even life if necessary for whatever reason – usually so there’s some form cash settlement

In other countries around the world this sorta thing would just get called “sextortion,” which has pretty much same connotations  Snapchat sextortion is one of the form of online sextortion which happens on Snapchat, actually.

Sometimes The Blackmailers Bluff. Sometimes – they don’t. The worst is that you don’t know, whether it’s a scam or they really going to post your explicit photos or videos on the internet

If someone is blackmailing you on Snapchat you need to immediately alert the platform and the police. The majority of victims are terrified and don’t know what steps to take next once they are faced with sextortion. Due to the embarrassment and fear of being exposed, they tend to play along with their blackmailers to keep the situation under wraps.

Here are some tips we here at Cyber Investigation give to our clients that have shown to be beneficial

· Think before you act. Try your best to not act on fear and make rash decisions.

· Make your account as private as possible, along with your other online accounts.

· Document the blackmail and as many details of the harasser as you can. This will help with investigations.

· Do not by any means comply with your blackmailer’s demands. Once they get what they want, they will come back asking for more and more.

· Confide in someone you trust like a family member or close friend. Online Sextortion can be very isolating and mentally straining. Get the support you need.

· Take all of your evidence and make reports to your local authority, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, and blackmail experts.

Probably not. Snapchat Blackmail usually operate overseas, beyond the jurisdiction of the FBI or your local police department. Law enforcement focuses on crimes in their own jurisdiction, and typically will not have the time to handle this Instagram blackmail situation for you.

No. They will simply reach out to your family, friends and employers and show them your private photo or video. They hope to scare you into paying them to make them stop. But they won’t ever stop, of course, unless you take real action.
