Figure I share since this forum is very helpful for all us of:
First Chatroulette, then gave my skype and added the person on f/b, then bam. A few sec later I got a message on skype. I was actually too hungover to fully read it, I just noticed something about blackmail and a list of 15 or so of my f/b contacts. Not sure if there was any video link or payment demands. I just blocked the person in skype to deal with it later and went back to sleep. When I checked my f/b a few hours later the person who added me as a friend was gone (I cannot remember the name since it was in the skype convo) but there was no notification that I had recently added any friends. I then changed my facebook url, removed profile photo and changed my name (this was before I knew about this forum). This was 3 days ago.
Day 2, aka yesterday, I found this forum and followed all the steps (removed f/b completely and all other social media accounts, deleted skype etc.). So far, this being day 3 there has been no attempts to contact me that I know of, but I also think this would be very hard since I changed or deleted EVERYTHING.
The one thing I did (and I am sorry if this is going against any of the steps) was to set up a VPN and create a new FB profile that had no relation to my previous one (meaning a nonsense name, new email etc.). I ONLY use this one to search for my real name once in a while to see if any fake profiles are being created (after 2-3 weeks I will delete it)
So I keep my fingers crossed, try not to stress out about it. On a larger scale this means NOTHING, we only live once and I will not waste any more time worrying about this. Good luck to the rest of you.
Btw I will check in again a few weeks from now, or earlier if any updates
