The Dump - "Whatif?" Questions Have Answers Here

Since you refused to pay them, they have less incentive to post your video if they even had one to begin with. So, yes, you will probably be safe after 30 days.

Do scammers delete the video after they realise that they are not going to get any money from the victim ?

Yes, they do.

Its been 17 days till now since the scammer neither shared my video to anyone nor tried contacting me back again, but i still feel worried sometimes,after how much time can i truly consider myself as safe ?

I became victim of this sextortion video call scam on 2nd feb,i know i was dumb and idiot but at the end of the day i got a lifetime lesson to never show your junk on internet,especially to strangers.
Today its 20th feb, so far they neither contacted me back nor shared my video to anyone,infact they blocked me from their side,after i refused to pay them.
These 18 were worst days of my life,almost thought of killing myself,but thanks to these amazing people at scamsurvivors who guided me and gave a lot of assurance,again thanks a lot.

Now my last question (probably) is that since it has been 18 days so far i have not heard anything from the scammer, when can i start considering myself as completely safe and should start using my Instagram again ?

Its been 20 days so far,since last 20 days i have not heard from the scammer. They have neither shared my video nor contacted me back. How can i stop being paranoid regarding what may happen in future ?

Freaking out about it and wondering "what if" will never stop you from being paranoid about it.

There is a certain amount of time anyone can spend by telling you to stop.

If you are unable to deal with the issue maybe it would be a good option to search for professional help.

Do you think i am in the clear now?

Please stop.
