Online Blackmail & How to Disappear

There is a rise in Facebook blackmail. How it goes down is an attractive female friends you. Your curiosity is piqued, and you take a few minutes, do a little due diligence, and see she is friends with one of your friends. You think cool, let me check her out further, and notice she lives locally. What not to believe, a friendly little lady. The chatting begins. 

Like all blackmailers, the chat is casual; what type of work do you do? Do you have LinkedIn, what about Instagram, etc.; it is an extraction of your private information. Some will keep the chat on Facebook and will suggest a video. Or your mobile number is requested to video on WhatsApp or via Skype. 

A mobile number is the road to Jericho and the killer that can reveal everything. Be it popping it into a search engine or a database. Either way, a home address, family connections, employment, email address, and social sites are on the menu for taking. 

For those of you who do not know how blackmailers execute blackmail, read carefully. There you are chatting away, and she is asking questions, out of nowhere, she either surprises you with a video call. Or a video is suggested. If you accept, doom is pending. 

There she is all hot and ready to rock-n-roll. She gets funky and asks you to do the same. Those of you not caught in the snare, when online, always remind yourself that if it is too good to be true, it is! If you adhere to the digital fun, the blackmailer will send a photo or video of yourself in a matter of seconds; followed by a list of your Facebook contacts. 

The knee jerk reaction is to block the scammer, which is a precarious solution. If the blackmailer cannot reach you, who do you think they will contact? Correct your people. You might have also provided them with other ways to communicate like email, mobile, or another social site. Do make your Facebook private, and take inventory of what you revealed. Now you are a full-fledged blackmail victim.

Naturally, the next question is what to do about blackmail. Start by making all your social media private and negotiate with the blackmailer. Stall for time, saying you are trying to get money to pay. Under no circumstance do you ever send money, which is a gateway to being a cash machine? If you pay, they will never go away.

There is no one strategy to combat blackmail. What you must do is protect your identity, prevent exposure, and rid yourself of the blackmailer. Anything less is a potential failure.

If you need help, Frank M. Ahearn STOPS Facebook blackmail

There is a crew of blackmailers who operate out of the Dominican Republic, and they are scamming victims on Instagram and Facebook. The sextortion starts simple, where an attractive woman connects with the target, and makes a little conversation. The profile has a religious tilt to it, making it appear less threatening. Quickly she will suggest getting off the social site and going to Google Hangouts.

On Hangouts, the female becomes more provocative and suggest the same to the victims. Note, she will never speak on video, but type. You may hear moaning and groaning, but sorry to say it is a looped video. If does ne indulges in play, it is downhill from there. In a matter of an instant, you will receive a video clip of you doing the deed. 

The blackmail begins!

The demand for money is aggressive, and they will expect a large payment. To convince you, the blackmailer will send you photos of your friends or followers. Specifically, family members. The threat is not only your photos, but they claim you exposed yourself to a minor. If you are reluctant to pay, you will receive a text from one of your connections claiming they received a message with your compromised photos and info about the minor. The contact from the friend is fake; it is the blackmailer spoofing you with a phony number. At this point, most victims pay. 

The next part of the scam comes when another friend (fake) contacts you and claims they, too, are a victim of the fraud. They suggest contacting a police detective in the Dominican Republic who helped them. Naturally, a victim will agree. When the detective makes contact, they state they found the blackmailer; however, to expedite an arrest, the victim must pay X amount of dollars. Most victims pay. 

The next contact comes from the cousin of the blackmailer. They know you had them arrested, and they demand X amount of dollars to bail here out of they will expose you. They even go so far as to send photoshopped pictures of them ready to text your spouse, friends, or employer. Most victims pay.

The fake detective contacts again and tells you they were unaware that you exposed yourself to a minor. He will claim that he must file charges with your local police or Interpol. However, for X amount of dollars, he will let it go. Again, most victims pay.

I have worked with individuals who lost thousands of dollars in the Dominican Blackmail Scam. They become so overwhelmed because the extortion hits them from multiple directions. They find themselves spiraling and into a rapid vacuum of confusion. Trying to get their head above water is difficult.

The Dominican Blackmail Scam is a prime example of why you should never pay a blackmailer. As you can see, they come back for more and more. If you are a victim and need help getting out of the situation, I can help. I work to protect your identity, prevent exposure, and rid you of the blackmailer.
