Should i be nervous

[nervousnelly123]

close to a year ago, i stupidly was drunk and video chatted on omegle. i did not show my face (they asked me to) and they didn't show theirs. i could not tell if the video was fake or not but i wasn't relaly looking honestly. i did not give any personal info, did not click any links or anything. the only possible info they could have would be my ip, i can't remember if i used vpn or not.

Anywasy i got a friend request on several social channels from a person with a blank profile but the same first name as the one they gave me in the chat. Its a very common name but i got nervous and blocked them, and set all my social media to private. I have not had them contact me in any way since, have gotten no other requests anywhere, do you think i'm dealing with a random creeper or could this be a attempt at blackmail almost a year later? i know i'm probably being paranoid but even if they recorded me i didnt kno this blackmail stuff happened.

Blackmail scammers tend to move on quickly if they don't get paid. Since you did this a year ago your probably safe. Leave your privacy settings high and be careful of new contacts.

ok thank you. i have never actually been blackmailed, never got any messages or requests or anything but just to be safe followed most of the steps on the website when i hear about it. did not deactivate my acounts because it seems to be okay for now but privacy settings are super high.

have you guys heard of cases where the inital blackmail takes place a year after first recorded?

= it was not a blackmail scam/sextortion.

Its a very common name

= it could be a coincidence.

It is good to be careful while online, but being paranoid for something happened a year ago without an aftermath at that moment it is little overreacting.
