BE SAFE- face recognition software is common with blackmail scammers.

NEVER SHOW UR FACE, NEVER GIVE OUT UR SOCIAL MEDIA where u have followers listed. NEVER LEAK UR NAME OR LOCATION

It's a bigger problem then people realize and needs to get posted often because people do extra stupid things when they are horny.

Here's how the scam works- Lots of scammers use face recognition software as you are exchanging nudes. A face pic is all they need where they will find your social media and screenshot your followers, and will say they are going to leak your nudes if you dont send them payment. Another common way that scammers find victims is to ask them directly for there social media info before sexting.

Don't believe me about the software? Google the pimeyes and Yandex, this is powerful face detection software where scammers can find you if they know ur location and get a glimpse of ur face.

BE AWARE OF THE SCAMS-
Some scammers will even pretend to cam for you, but are often just a video playing, and not actually live although they appear to be live. More advanced scammers even have cute girls cam with u just so you think they are more real, in hopes to get to see ur body nude with ur face. And some record the entire session over multiple days to get u to be comfortable and can pull screenshots of ur face and search for ur identity with face recognition software. Then u think ur sexting a cute girl because u seen her live on cam but u don’t realize she’s working with the scammer even tho she goes nude for u.

THIS IS SOME SCAMMERS FULL TIME JOB- there goal is to get as much money from you in the quickest amount of time.

IF THIS EVER HAPPENDS TO YOU- 1. DO NOT REPLY. 2. INSTANT BLOCK. 3. PUT SOCIAL MEDIA ON PRIVATE OR DELETE IT. Also you may want to put ALL social media on private incase they find you on multiple platforms.

THE MORE YOU TALK TO THEM, THE MORE THEY ARE GOING TO THREATEN AND BULLY YOU, in hopes to get you scared as possible, so you pay. Never send payment because they will ALWAYS ask for more after. They will also know ur scared if you negotiate with them about sending payment, so the threats will come harder. Some may even send screen shots of ur nudes right next to ur followers list, showing you that with a click of a button they can destroy your life. BUT THERE GOAL IS NOT TO DESTROY YOUR LIFE! THERE GOAL IS TO GET AS MUCH MONEY POSIBLE, IN THE FASTEST TIME POSIBLE. If they know they can not communicate with you (aka you blocking them), they will just move on to the next victim (unfortunately)

If they leak your nudes after you block, that is not going to benefit the scammer at all (financially). Posting your nudes just raises the chances of them getting caught because it creates digital evidence of the sextortion (which is a crime). So most of the time, they will just leak your nudes as a last resort (if you get them angry by taking up there time and trying to negotiate with them).

DO NOT POST MESSAGES FROM UR REDDIT ACCOUNT IF U WAS HACKED because the scammer will see your message history that you are scared. Also, DONT PAY ANYONE or any SERVICE that claims they can help. JUST BLOCK AND IGNORE AND THEY WILL GO AWAY,
