Should You Pay a Blackmailer in Germany?
Should you pay a blackmailer in Germany?
No.
Payment does not end the threat. It shows the black you are afraid and willing to send money.
That can create a second demand.
What Happens After You Pay?
The blackmailer may promise to delete your private photos, videos,, or messages.
You cannot know if they deleted anything.
After payment, they may:
- Demand more money
- Increase the amount
- Contact you from another account
- Threat to expose your spouse, family, or employer
- Sell your information to another blackmailer
The first payment often becomes the beginning of the blackmail.
Do Not Make a Fast Payment
A blackmailer creates urgency.
They may give you one hour to pay. They may show you the names of your contacts. They may send a screenshot of a message ready to be sent.
The purpose is to stop you from thinking.
You need time.
Tell the blackmailer:
“I have no money. I must borrow from a friend. It will take a week.”
Keep the message short.
Do not argue. Do not threaten them. Do not tell them you are getting help.

Should You Block the Blackmailer?
Blocking does not delete what the blackmailer has.
They can create a new account, use another telephone number, or begin contacting people connected to you.
Do not block them without knowing what happens next.
The goal is to slow the blackmailer down while you make a plan to stop the threat.
