Currently a victim of Sextortion as of 30 minutes ago. I'm coping.

Hey all. Male in their early 20's here.

Just wanted to share that I was looking for some fun but then I made the rookie mistake of actually falling for that. I've been on dating apps for about 4 years now and this felt like the most progress I've made... hence my absolute desperation.

only for it to be a scam I have recently discovered to exist.

The scammer threatened to share my 2min video of me stripping and going nude to all of my friends on Instagram (which I only shared my username for) and demanded thousands of dollars via Crypto.

Honestly I'd be mad at myself, but I'm pretty mad at the world for not accepting me for who I am. The person that just did was only pretending.

I've reported the account(s) [This bastard had THREE MOBILE NUMBERS!], but I'm pretty anxious about what this asshole's going to do with my video. Is he actually planning to share to my contacts that I've shared?

Anyway. If you're reading this. Thanks, and always be paranoid on the internet, no matter how desperate you are.
