Don't look at websites of legal firms!!
Post Body

Last weekend I broke my cardinal rule after chatting for a while on Reddit and added the other person on insta.

After about 30 minutes the extortion started. I panicked ofc and started googling what to do. I ran into a few websites that were top hits, where they try to scare you that everything will he shared and try to get you to contact them for legal assistance.

Luckily the police (I live in the Netherlands) and this subreddit gave the best advice. Block them everywhere and dont give in.

In the end I blocked them everywhere and temporarily deactivated all my socials. Nothing has happened since.

The takeway, if you are being targeted and looking for help and the website you find opens with "photos will be shared".

Move on thats just another group of people trying to scare you and scam you.
