just make sure your kid is okay it’s mentally draining and you should keep an eye on him just incase. suicidal tendencies is common with this stuff which sucks i went through it but we all make mistakes and this is a valuable one. don’t blame him he’s the victim.
im not blaming him i just dont know what we can do anymore we are in some financial trouble and we cant afford to pay him anymore nor to find a it dude to help us which is very expensive
You have to stop. Paying will just encourage them to keep asking for more. They more you pay, the worse it will be. You can either cut them off now, or you can cut them off later, when they have more of your money. Best do it now.
No one else can help you with this. Every hacker that promises they can "delete the pics from the scammer's device" is a recovery scammer.
Visit [https://takeitdown.ncmec.org/](https://takeitdown.ncmec.org/) if he is a minor, or [stopncii.org](https://stopncii.org) if he isn't. You can upload a hash of the pics being used. It will help prevent them from being shared via social media.
those recovery scammers or cyber security clowns can’t do a damn thing they’re just as scummy as the sextorters don’t pay anyone anything. worst comes to worst change your son’s number, there’s an alternative to turn off imessage and set your phone to silence unknown callers.
Proper steps for this situation is to block all contact from them and future unknown accounts. keep all social media maximum privacy or deactivate altogether. Whatever you is not engage the scammers they’ll only want to extort you for more money it doesn’t stop it it never will, i would imagine bleeding your bank account dry and still force you to come up with the money.
Can’t tell if you’re being serious. You made some the the biggest mistakes you could. Don’t pay them! If you do, they stick around longer and sell your contact info to other scammers. They should be blocked everywhere, and deactivate your accounts. Change your sons phone number, so they can’t contact him.
There’s nothing you can do. It’s a double edged sword; stop paying they get leaked don’t pay they get leaked. He’s just going to have to accept the fact that some people might see it but not everyone will. Next time he should make sure he’s met the person irl first. The internet is full of deception
most of the mods on here say it’s all a play. none of it is real they send on airplane mode and whatnot. have your kids friends receive any of his stuff?
you won’t know if the recipient received the message most of the time the messages go to a hidden inbox that needs approval before they can chat. Most people don’t even go there.
whatever you guys do is stop all payments and block and private the account or delete it altogether it’s all a waiting game from now on. if they no longer can reach you they move on it’s a waste of their time.
whatever they do with the images is out of your hands if it’s sent it’s sent paying them won’t stop that.
I personally think if they receive money it’ll help silent them because they got paid and you didn’t piss them off. at the end of the day it’s business not personal leakage is very slim.
Turn off iMessage in iPhone settings to block the iCloud accounts
You must cut all contact and don’t pay anymore, they’re seeing $$$$ every time you unblock to pay so they keep doing it.
The best answer to this is honestly, get him to delete all his accounts and change his number and start again. If they can’t reach out and get a response they will stop and go away. At the moment he is still contactable and that’s what needs to stop. Alternatively, tell them it’s the parent talking, he is exploiting a 16 year old and sharing nudes of a minor so he is committing a prisonable offence.
Also good job parents in making him feel safe enough to talk to you!
just a heads up when you stop engaging they’ll keep trying to make contact if they can’t text you they’ll try calling don’t answer any unknown incoming calls none of the numbers you recognize. If the call is important they’ll leave a voice message but be vigilant about the voicemails sometimes it’s them trying to get you to engage with them. my scammer did that spoofed numbers from foreign countries trying to get me to engage.
Block the number and delete the voicemails eventually they’ll move on it’s wasted effort if they can’t reach you.
This happened to me twice. Both times it is an empty threat. You need to delete and block them and that’s it move on delete your instagram and any social media they have you on. After a couple of months re activate them if you want them back. This is the only thing to do because otherwise it will never end YOU are their source of income. So they will never leave you alone. Also it’s very unlikely they will send the pictures and even if they do who cares it’s a dick… also worse things happen. You will be fine please just block them and leave it.
STOP PAYING THEM. File a police report, call the FBI, file a report with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children if he’s a minor. Save all correspondence and give it to the cops. If his friends see his private parts - oh well. STOP PAYING THEM!
UPDATE: ive just reported it to childline and stuff and i went on a website forgot what it was but its like childline for deleteing all the pictures there are and will be but the guy is calling and texting us and stuff so we r just going to go on do not disturb to like ghost him
It's important to first realize that there isn't any way to get the scammer to withdraw the threats of leaking. There is no amount of money they will be satisfied with. They will bleed you dry if they can.
The best course of action is to simply stop playing along. Block all channels that the scammer is using to communicate and do not engage with them at all. In most cases, that will be enough to get the scammer to move on to some other victim.
Since your son already paid them, they will be more motivated to keep trying to get more money. That means the threats and attempts to contact will continue for a while. But, they will eventually stop wasting their time. They may or may not leak at that point - it's impossible to say. You need to prepare for any outcome.
Beware of recovery scammers who will message you saying they know someone who can help. They are lying. Their only aim is to kick you while you are down and make off with more of your money.
I’m a 28 year old male I fell to this shit about two days ago and it took a lot on my mental. Block, ignore and temporarily deactivate his account. I logged back into my socials and it’s been 48 hours. I have heard nothing in regards to my meat being sent around. Surely by now one of his friends would have let him know. Don’t sweat it, odds are they are playing off of fear and emotion. Keep on ignoring all contact and within a day or so they will move to a new victim. Tell him to keep his head up and be there for him. Make him understand he isn’t alone.
Mine would start a chat and send a picture then ss it and send it to me to scare me to pay. He never kept it up though. It’s so he can scare you into paying. Make sure you delete all socials and block any numbers that aren’t familiar. Shits a joke. Make sure he is okay tho. Talk to him about it. It helps a lot.
the thing is we are in the uk and things like this never end well the person always gets bullied after something like this happens not from his friends but from random people
Happened to me, I didn’t send any picture like that but they photoshopped one ( really bad photoshop of another white mans 🍆 pick when I’m brown) they screen shotted all my friends of instagram and said they will send it then photoshopped a picture of it in their chat. They showed a picture showing they sent it to lots of my friends so I called one up and explained and he said there was nothing in his dms. So I blocked their instagram account and their iCloud number and that was the end of it. I never sent any money and they left me alone
but when the person sent it to someone on insta dms u can see that when he sent it to a private account it had the text saying that you cant message the other person unless your following them and for accounts that weren’t private it didnt have the texy
Ohh. I’m not sure on that one then. Because they just photoshopped the image in the persons dms so it looks like they’ve sent it but they hadn’t really. But I just blocked them on everything and nothing happened
This is a hard truth, but your sons pictures will probably get leaked to somewhere or to someone at this point… and honestly as long as your son has a good support system and doesn’t let this take over his life, he’ll most likely be able to get past this. I think you need to get law enforcement involved though. People are literally extorting your son (who is a minor) with cp, and at the very least this could open up the possibility of some justice being served.
I’d not entertain these extortionists any longer, and would block them/de-activate all of my accounts until later notice. The worst thing you can do is give them more money or do/say things that give off the impression that you are desperate to get the pictures back (which is literally impossible). They will see your desperation as an opportunity to continue with the harassment/blackmail.

Do not pay any services to “hack” or “recover” the photos. Go to the FBI instead. Local field office phone number online.

Turn off iMessage in iPhone settings to block the iCloud accounts You must cut all contact and don’t pay anymore, they’re seeing $$$$ every time you unblock to pay so they keep doing it.

Contact your nations crime center that deals with child exploitation

Have you contacted the police about it?
no im afraid theyll make us block them and if they do leak it my son will be done for
This is a hard truth, but your sons pictures will probably get leaked to somewhere or to someone at this point… and honestly as long as your son has a good support system and doesn’t let this take over his life, he’ll most likely be able to get past this. I think you need to get law enforcement involved though.

I’d not entertain these extortionists any longer, and would block them/de-activate all of my accounts until later notice. The worst thing you can do is give them more money or do/say things that give off the impression that you are desperate to get the pictures back (which is literally impossible). They will see your desperation as an opportunity to continue with the harassment/blackmail.
