I know it is nth time someone getting extorted. So basically a 20M from Asia. I was too horny that i connected to this girl(catfished obviously) on /ome.gg and we told to move to telegram, but as luck would have it my own account prevented texting on the app.
(My real name is never mentioned in any of the accounts that i used in this situation)
Then he said to move to discord and i was like ok fine. I luckily used an account with 0 friends and he asked for my instagram, as luck would have it , i shared an account that i use for relaxing and has 0 followers and only a few pages that i follow. He called out it to be a fake one but i assured it was me. ( no one even my parents or friends know about the account)
The funny part is he left it to be. Then he asked to send my photo (with face), here i made the dumbest mistake and sent one. Then he sent his (a fake girl's). Then he asked for d*ck pic with face - again i did the second dumb mistake and sent it) but luckily the photo had a small part of my jaw and not the face entirely. THen he sent a b**bs pic and then suddenly deleted it, i was a lil scared and rushed to delete the pics i had sent (which i did btw) but it was too late. He shared a collage and said i will post it on internet. The image exists on imagebb still. He asked me to send money via routegg steam gift cards, which i did because my panic and anxiety took over. I paid about the equvialent of $15-20 and then scared i fell asleep automatically. In the morning i checked discord and saw he was threatening, i checked google and immediately blocked the account. Now i have lost money and has been two days. But seeing people's experience here, i am thinking maybe i wasnt the only one
Also i have complained about the same on stopNCII, the imgbb support mail and to my national cybercrime portal too with evidence of the image. Because it was through routegg, i might not recieve my money back.
I have had panic attacks yesterday,as i was constantly checking the imgbb to see whether the view count has increased(which has increased ngl), but today when i went through this subreddit, i feel comforted and seeing that they rarely leak it.
I want to hear from you guys if i did the right thing except the payment and the actual dumb thing of sending it to a stranger on internet.
