I almost never ever show my face on cam unless it's with my friends, but for some reason i didn't listen to myself this time. Got onto skype, had a very brief session of around 3 mins. Scammer cut off and 6 hours later showed me a link to youtube with my file there. Title was just my name from fb (which is a very generic name) and 3 mins of the recording. Demanded money and gave me a deadline. I was completely freaked out and i negotiated to 100, and the scammer agreed to delete the video and the original file along with the links to my friends. Scammer also put the video in private when i agreed i'll go pay. So i did, and when i showed her the receipt (i blanked out all improtant info), the scammer deleted the video from youtube as promised (when i click on the link, it says the file has been removed by the user, and the channel now says there are 0 videos uploaded). then the scammer showed me his/her desktop on skype, and proceeded to show me that my video is put into the recycling bin and the text file. however the screen froze halfway, but i did see the video file put into recyling bin. scammer repeated promised that the files are completely deleted and can never be used again. and then scammer promised i will never be bothered again and scammer proceeded to block me on fb and skype.
so far, i can confirm none of my friends received anything (they seem normal when i talk to them), and the video is still shown as removed. i can't find myself anywhere else on the internet (especially when i have a generic name). do you guys think this is now officially over? Or will the scammer ask for more again? I just find it strange how the scammer blocked me proactively and actually showed me that the files are deleted and all. please help
i really want to get over this and learn from my mistake
