Facebook Blackmail, What To Do And How To Stop | Privacy Expert Explains How To Protect Yourself

#FaceBookBlackmail #TheBlackmailExpert

One of the top internet searches that hit my website is; do Facebook blackmailers follow through and expose victims? The problem with the question is no two blackmailers are alike. Some do it for money and avoid exposing, so they hold the victim hostage and bleed them of cash. Others can be more aggressive and, even after paying, share the content with friends or family.

There are three items to think about, protecting your identity, preventing exposure, and getting rid of the scammer. If a scammer has got you on a social media site, they have your friends and followers. Do not waste time; let all know a hacker hacked you and not open messages with your name or accept your friends' requests.

More importantly, do not accept any request in your name; blackmailers open Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest accounts impersonating victims. It is best to go dark online or shut down the sites altogether. However, do not block the scammer. The continued communications help to contain the matter. Whatever you decide to do, do it fast and be smart about it.

What To Do If Someone Is Blackmailing You

The question is, what to do if someone is blackmailing you. Unfortunately, it is not a one answer fits all. There are different types of sextortion, as well as victims. What works for the twenty-three-year-old with massive social media may not work for the business professional with a LinkedIn profile. Victims need a tailored strategy based on their background and what the scammer knows about them. Such as mobile, email, social connections, spouse, and employment are at risk.

• Ask yourself, what do they know?

I understand many do not have the means to hire a professional to assist with sextortion. If such is the case, focus on making all social media private, or shut it down. What's the point of keeping something that got you in a mess? It doesn't hurt to tell the people in your circle that someone hacked your account. Stress the point not to open messages with your name or accept friends' requests. Explain the message could contain a virus.

• Turn Social Media Private
• Make People Aware of a Hack

Never pay the demands. Doing so demonstrates you are weak and afraid, and it opens the door to you going broke. You also never believe a word the blackmailer says. No, they will not delete the video after one payment. Nor is there a sick child or aunt in the mix. Everything is a lie. As far as the content, don't go searching for a hacker to hunt down the blackmailer and try to hack and corrupt the compromising content. Such is a scam of another color.

• Do Not Pay Blackmail
• All Blackmailers Lie
• Hackers Cannot Help You

Do you go to law enforcement? If a minor, YES. The law will tell adults to block and ignore the scammer, then they will go away. Ask yourself, why would a blackmailer go away if they have photos or videos of you. Let alone contact information for a spouse, friend, or employer. A call, email, or text to one of them will grab your attention quickly. Blocking and ignoring leads to potential exposure.

• Law Enforcement Does Not Help (unless a minor)
• Blocking & Ignoring Is Dangerous

There are three tactics to the strategy of combating blackmail. There is protecting your identity, preventing exposure, and ridding yourself of the blackmailer.

Protecting your identity is manipulating your names and fooling them into thinking you are someone else?

• My expertise is creating digital disinformation.

Preventing exposure comes in the form of false negotiating. It is not easy playing a blackmailer and keeping them at bay and equally hooked on the promise of money. It is a tightrope but not impossible.

• I direct clients on how to negotiate and respond to blackmailers.

Blackmailers always come back; therefore, you need a plan to get them off your real contact and on to a fake one. Not easy, but not impossible.

Surviving blackmail without exposure is not impossible, although it takes a smart plan and nerve. Keep in mind; you are going up against someone who has no boundaries and is willing to destroy your life. While being in a vulnerable state, it is easy to be taken advantage of, so consider your options and what strategy will work best.

Some victims and professionals think finding the blackmailer will stop blackmail? No! Blackmailers are crafty enough to hide their whereabouts. Be it with a prepaid mobile number, fake phone app, or a VPN. Even if you think you found the blackmailer, it does not protect your reputation or their reach of your family.

I have said it a thousand times, the only fix for blackmail is protecting your identity and that of your loved ones. If you don't, you open yourself up to exposure and being extorted again in the future.
