Has anyone dealt with online extortion or blackmail? I’m really worried because I received an email from someone claiming to have compromising photos of me, and they’re demanding money. What should I do next to protect myself and stop this from escalating?

First of all, stay calm. It’s important not to give in to their demands. Immediately stop all communication with the extortionist. Save all the messages and evidence of the threat. I highly recommend reaching out to a professional service like https://extortiononline.com/. They offer discreet, expert advice on how to deal with the situation and help you take legal steps to report the crime. Don’t hesitate to contact the authorities too – it’s vital to get them involved to prevent further escalation. You’re not alone in this, and there are people who can help you take control.
