What to do about blackmail?

First off, paying the blackmailer is the greatest mistake you will make. Their aggression and tactics for more money will rise tenfold. Plus, you will reveal more of your identity in the cash, bank, or app transfer. Therefore, regardless of the immediate threat, do not pay. Tell the blackmailer, you are trying to get money, and you need more time. They will be aggressive but will back off for a bit. Use the time to think clearly and act.

Second, what do they know about you? Blackmailers are savvy when it comes to extracting information. Think, do they have your email address, mobile number, social sites, work info, or family contacts? If so, these are all vulnerable points of exposure.

Third, who are you going to contact for help, and are they legitimate? Sometimes, blackmailers set up bogus companies to help victims but steal their money. Lawyers suggest sending a Cease & Desist Letter as if a blackmailer in a foreign country cares about legal action. Some data and forensic companies claim they can track and trace the online blackmailer, and then "convince them" to stop blackmailing, good luck with that.

I believe that the best tactic to stop blackmail, prevent exposure, and protect a victim's identity is by using and creating disinformation. I have handled dozens of blackmail, sextortion, and extortion cases worldwide with a 100% success rate. What separates me from others is my unique understanding and use of deception as a tool. As a skip tracer, social engineer, and privacy expert, I have worked the strangest, craziest, and most dangerous cases involving hunting people, disappearing people, and stopping blackmail and extortion. Again, I understand how deception works and know how to use it to protect victims.

What is essential and forefront in every case is preventing exposure and protecting the client's online and offline identity and privacy.
