Here are three tips on what to do if you are being blackmailed:
- Document.
Make sure that you have proof of the harassment and threats from your blackmailer. This provides proof to law enforcement that you are in fact a victim of a crime and can use this evidence against your harasser.
- Do Not Pay.
Instead of giving into the fear and paying your blackmailer, try to stall and make an excuse as to why you need more time to come up with money. This gives you time to get help from professionals.
- Contact Police and Specialists.
Once you have enough evidence alert your local police precinct and make a report. You should also seek help from cybercrime specialists who can help take over and handle this situation for you.
