There is only one response to online sextortion block ignore . Whatever you do , don ' t pay ! That will only guarantee that they come back to you for more money . By locking down Facebook , removing access to the friends list , and warning close friends and family members to beware of any links from strangers believe me , they don ' t want to see you naked any more than you want them to , you ' ve done pretty much everything possible under the circumstances to deal with this . Although the evidence in these cases indicates that the odds of the scammer actually following through with disseminating the video are very , very low , I ' d still suggest setting some search alerts for your name or chatvideo name on Google , YouTube , and other major video sites so you can get notified if anything is posted so you can have it taken down right away . Ultimately , time is money in scamming , so these criminals usually don ' t waste time on people once it becomes clear they won ' t allow themselves to be scammed , especially when there are so many other easier marks just waiting to be preyed upon . As for retribution against the scammer ? Forget about it . There ' s likely nothing you can do to a person in a far away third world country .
