Hello jrb112476 and welcome to ScamSurvivors.
I am sorry to learn you were blackmailed, this has become an all too common occurance in recent months. You are not alone.
Please cut off all contact with these people, and also if you can post as much information as you can about them, emails addresses, IM's, their locations and details that can help another victim identify these people before they get caught in this same situation. Please read through our Blackmail Section and follow the advice given to everyone there, it will help you to understand alot more of how this scam works.
Once you have cut off all contact with these people, they will no longer bother you and when they can't get any money from you they move on. They want money that is the ultimate goal and when they can't get it from you, well there is always someone else to try for.
Now is the time you must take care of yourself, and get back into the game of real life, with your friends and family. You will recover and heal from this, I can guarantee you that.
And you will learn to smile and laugh again. If at any time you wish to talk to someone about this, come to our chat room, there are many experienced people there who can help you and/or just listen to what you want to talk about

A scammer is only as good as the fear he creates.
