Just one more question - how many cases have there been (that you know of / have heard of) where the video is actually sent?
Read enough posts, and you will see the answer posted hundreds of times..
Short answer: about 5. NONE of these five had a link sent to their entire FB list. This is for the thousand(s)? plus that have posted here. In three of the cases, I believe, the survivors did NOT follow all the advice in the main topic "Read me first," and either kept talking to the scammer, or did not completely block them as we advised. The other two were special cases, very very atypical of the usual blackmail scam/sextortion.
Please take note: Every one of the 5 is fine now. It just took a bit of time longer for the scammer to give up.
Your next step: Recovery. Read the topic, and listen to podcast 11. This should give you a good start.
