I dont know if ive been scammed or not.
But Im sure Im being blackmailed

Last week i just got a message from someone i used to talked to and there is one (honest mistake) that i fall into the webcam trap and i showed him my face and half of my body. Last week he messaged me on yahoo and said Look if you dont talk to me today and dont do a complete show i will post your recorded video online etc...and your friends will find out. I panicked, So i closed all my email accounts,social networks. he doesnt know my real name, unfortunately my screen name is the usual screen name i use for twitter which unfortunately i cant recover because i forgot the password and email i used back at the time that i register that twitter account of mine.

My life turned upside down since then, I never knew this was coming, thoughts of suicide comes into my mind on a daily basis, i even went to psychologist but never told them what is really going on since i dont wanna go public about it and the stress of going to lawyers and everything. For 10 days straight, Im scared not having any clue of when where and to whom will he post the video

I dont know when will i ever be happy again or even just smile. The thought of it weakens me each and every hour of my life. I know i have my part on this, i know i did wrong and i dont know if up until now i can forgive myself for what i did..

and then tonight i found this website. I dont really know now.. i dont even know what to ask for on this site.. i just shared my story. i dont know up until when i can carry this burden and pain thats inside me.. only my bestfriend knows about this issue that i have. my everyday is just a living nightmare now.. i dont know if im still living or im just merely existing ..

I just hope one day. i can say that "everything will be okay

Hi Again ---

Hope our conversation in the chat room helped you tonight. Just remember, you are now the survivor and the bad guys cannot hurt you --- you did everythig right by deactivating facebook etc. and life really does go on.

Once you get your mind into a positive reaction all will be Ok once again and just treat this as a learning experience that will make you stronger and understand this can happen to anyone when they are vulnerable.

Now is the time to take really good care of yourself, and move forward doing real life things with friends and family.

ForgiveMe341,

do you have details about the scammer? The dating/social site where you met him, his profile elements and pictures posted there, email address used or username in chat? Sure he play a similar game with others and maybe some potential victims can be saved if the details are posted here.

Thanks for posting details about the scammer. This will help future people from becoming victims. You will now be stronger and you are now a Survivor. Just make sure you watch YT Videos or play with friends to get your mind off things!

Thank you so much for the ecouraging words. people here a very helpful. it takes the pain away somehow. this is the part of my life where i hit the rock bottom. but as they say, once you hit the bottom theres no other way than up. every day im trying to be strong to help other warning friends and family to actually be mindful and and be careful on posting personal information on the internet and also secure their accounts to the maximum level.

the first time i found out that ive been scammed i knew its gonna be over, thats it, that the end of my show in this world. however, i landed onto this site and they keep reminding me that i am not alone. that alone kept me from ending my life.. i never felt like i was a victim at first since i have my own mistake from this event. but definitely this have made me a better person towards everyone that surrounds me.

i still feel and think about it sometimes but my friend told me that sometimes "its all in the mind"

this is a hard lesson learned, i regret what i did, if only i could change it and get it back. but there are things that cannot be changed and is now out of our control. the only thing that we have now is to get ourselves back together as Rf and other mods have told us.

my friend told me too, that sometimes you just have to yell WHO CARES to those scammers? Life Goes On!


i hope everything to be well to all the victims who are now survivors, keep your calm and sooner or later this too shall pass.

Best wishes to this site and to all the members
