Tell someone you trust, secure your accounts, and report the matter to the appropriate law enforcement authorities and the platform involved.
And this applies to men too. Being pressured or blackmailed with ur nude is an abuse, not a relationship problem you have to handle alone.
This is not just a toxic relationship but sextortion and image base sexual abuse. Using intimate using intimate images or the threat of releasing them to obtain sexual access, compliance, money, or control. The mistake victims make is negotiating with the blackmailer out of fear
Secondly, don’t send more intimate pictures or give in to sexual demands because of the threats or even try to negotiate. If your WhatsApp messages are on disappearing message, you need to reset it and make recording of the conversation.
First thing to do is preserving the evidence by screenshotting the messages, username, threats, payment record and if it’s on WhatsApp, you need to unsave the contact and screenshot all the messages so that it will carry their actual number. Don’t delete any conversation.

Many people fall prey for scammers daily yet they don’t tell anyone even their families, why ?
This is very simple,
Fear, shame, blame, friends and family disappointment, safety and ignorance. We need to create environment where victim feel safe enough to report them. #cybersafe
Hackers don’t care about hacking your password anymore, they hack you. And when they do, you are giving it to them freely. Be wise and mindful of websites you enter your details
When “How did you build this?” becomes “Which update you dey do?”, the problem is no longer just cybercrime. It is a social mindset that needs to be confronted. Be careful out there gentlemen ✍️
The most dangerous part of Yahoo isn’t only the money stolen from victims.
But the mindset it leaves behind convincing young people that legitimate success is suspicious, while fraud is a shortcut to be admired.

One of the damages Yahoo has done to society is convincing many young men that there is no other legitimate path to success.
You see struggling men in their thirties who have never done any other work besides Yahoo, posting “Aza available” and all country flags on their WhatsApp status every day.
When they see a fellow young man doing well, they don’t ask what work he does. They ask, “Which update you dey do?”, automatically assuming every successful person must be into online scam.
The mindset has eaten deep into the society.
@favour16685 püsy is not púsy ooh, some are busy and some are pushy, Some are tight and some are loose, some are watery, some oily, some dry and some just in between. Again, some lady just have the vibe and energy while some are too lazy to beat the hunter imagination or fantasy. So chill 😒
People defend scammers to express their hate for politicians and bad governance, what a foolish thing to do. Crime is crime and none should be excused. Today another person is a victim, tomorrow you could be the victim. #SayNoToCybercrime and be safe 🙏
@YouTubeTeam, automation is useful, but it shouldn’t replace understanding.
Too often, users receive generic, recycled responses that don’t actually address the complaint being raised. Different problems are treated as if they are the same. We need more of human review in issues.
