Press charges. You can have him arrested for extortion. Revenge porn is also illegal in many places. Chances are the guy is fake profile scammer. In the future, NEVER take/send nudes with your face in them.

you have his number and name. call the police and report it

This exact same thing happened to me report it to the cops. I was lucky enough to mine didn’t do anything, but he said the exact same thing. Stay calm get the police involved. If anything happens, you are able to press a hell of a lot of charges. Just keep all evidence that you can and remain calm. Try to stall as much as you can. Ps-never show you’re facing your album always keep close pictures of everything so you can just say it’s somebody else’s if they ever try this that’s what I’ve been doing

He has not ruined anyone’s life, these are bluff scams.

Report him on telegram as well

First of all, this is illegal. Go to the police now. Second thing: you have absolutely no control over what he does with the information. Even if you do what he says, you have no guarantee he will delete it. So you’re only choice this to go to the police and report him and get him arrested. If he is some kind of African scammer team, they have no interest in anything other than getting your money so be worried that if you don’t follow their instructions, they have no interest in sharing the information.

Well it's better to try something than to just sit back and be a victim. Yeah, maybe it won't work. It's worth a shot.

Okay, having gone through this scam a few times myself, take a few breaths. First, as others have pointed out, this is indeed a scam. They dont have your contacts, they dont have your family's, any of it. They are banking on your fear overriding reason, so thay you give in and give them money. Don't give them a cent, and just be a bit more prudent about phot content going forward.

It’s a bluff. That’s how the scam works.

Respond with 'Go ahead and send them to the news. The headlines will be 'Attractive man has massive dong'' (don't)

just block him everywhere. The WORST thing you can do in this situation is play along with this person. Think of it this way, if you give in to the guy then he keeps the nudes and now knows that he can hold them over your head to get you to do more and more stuff. Giving in to blackmail only leads to more blackmail, and likely they'll use whatever they ask you to do as further threat of blackmail along with the nudes. If this person decides to follow through on their threat then you can take control of the narrarive, you can pursue it in the courts, you can say it's all deepfakes if you want to - in other words you have plenty of recourse. If you give in to the guy the situation will just get worse and worse.

I’d say completely ignore. Even blocking is too much. Do not engage in any way. If he’s a professional scammer he’ll not do anything. You’re one of many people he’s trying this with. And posting your photos would be illegal and might mean more potential trouble for him. And in the future don’t mix your penis social media with your non-penis social media.

He’s not sending anything. Stop feeding this and just forget it unless you want to prosecute.

Just breathe, I went through a similar thing, blocked him on everything and never heard from him again. You’ll be OK

It’s just a scam. You’ll be ok. Pretty sure you can’t screenshot any photo albums from Grindr.

The news media lol Just block him. This person is doing this to 10 other guys rn hoping one will bite. Don't bite. This person wont invest the time and energy into fucking over someone who blocks him when there are guys who will give in. And if you're that nervous, shut down your social media for a couple weeks.

Blackmail is only worth as much as your fear. Sure, he might send whatever he has, but in my experience, the minute they figure out that you're not going to play ball, they'll move on to their next mark. Just block him and move on. If he does send them, so what? It'll be mortifying and then be a funny story. But if you start playing ball, you're cooked.

I've had similar although I did find it mildly funny I'm apparently going to be 'exposed' as trans, bitch everyone I know is damn well aware I'm trans it ain't a secret.

As others said - its most likely a scam. Scamsters are looking for money and money alone. They don't have time to spend taking revenge - at the loss of scamming others, so they move on once you stop responding and block them. News agencies have better things to do than post news on Grindr scams, and if your friends don't support you if someone is scamming you, are they really friends?

Someone tried to scam me this way in the summer. At first, I felt panicked. Not emotionally, but physically my body wanted to freak out. I kind of realized though that based on where I lived it was very clearly illegal and with extreme fines. So, I told the person “You do not have permission to share my photos anywhere. Doing so would violate [cite your location’s law] and I well press charges in the grounds of [insert charge] which has penalties up to [insert scariest penalties applicable].” Then, I called them… multiple times. Telling them to answer so I can have them talk to my attorney. I was obviously bluffing, but it freaked them out enough so that nothing came of it. Kinda regret scaring them, I would’ve LOVED the payout and my friend had their location down to one of three people in the United States based on the information I could get from the apps.

Block and ignore. They are running multiple scams on people at once and 99% of the time, they will just move on to the next person when they don't get a 'bite'. Paying them anything is a mistake. 'If You Give A Mouse A Cookie' and all that. Also, why are we self censoring the word porn? The hell is that about?

I experienced this recently, a threat to report me to the police for supposedly sharing a nude 'without consent' when we were 'dating' that was held over me for money. I eventually just blocked them and moved on.

Block him immediately, scammers won't take the time to go through with it the second they realize they cannot extort you.

Do not send anything and block him on everything. Odds are he’ll fuvk off but regardless of if he does or not there is no guarantee that sending him money will prevent him from continuing to extort you. Once he can no longer reach you he’ll likely move on and you can decide for yourself if you want to go after them legally later If he they do send anything to anyone you’ll have a case and the law will likely go after them hard. If anyone close to you receives anything just say your iCloud was hacked and if there’s embarrassing conversations you can say they fabricated it. They won’t follow up and will likely just feel bad that that happened to you. Everyone has done stupid shit when they’re horny, sexting being the least worrisome! Edit *** block and change password on all social media. Maybe even change your name display or make sure privacy settings don’t allow non friends to see anything on your pages. If they are Able to continue contact then last resort it may not hurt to let them know you’ve documented all of this and that what they’re doing is a felony and you will turn all info and data over to the FBI if you’re in US or your countries equivalent law enforcement if they sent anything to anyone.
