Same story here. Dumb mistake. Blocked them because connection kept timing out. They told me to send them $350 or they would post the youtube video. I made my FB private and got the youtube taken down. Also setup google alerts. They are giving me until 9am tomorrow to send them the money. Skype: emma.anderson36 from Morocco. Met on ChatRoulette. They sent me a copy of my FB friends as well. I've checked my wifes account, haven't seen anything.

My question is - has anyone actually had their video posted?

Please read this topic, and follow all of the advice there:
Online blackmail. Read this first. viewtopic.php?f=20&t=580

Please read that entire topic. Here are the main points in it:
DO NOT PAY THEM! They will only be back for more money over and over until you stop.
Block them in FB, change your FB username and picture. Increase your privacy settings in FB. Block them in Skype. Put Google Alerts on your name, and report any videos to the host of the website to close them. Do not answer any unknown emails, delete them without opening them, and do not accept any new friend on skype or FB.

The last post in that topic should answer your question.
If anyone asks you for money on the Internet they are always a scammer, 100% of the time.

Thanks. I've read all of this. Just a little nervous right now... Following the guidelines that have been posted make me feel a little better, but still unsettling.

Yes. They sent me a youtube link and a copy/paste of my FB friends, saying this is the video and I will start posting it to these people on FB. I went to youtube, clicked the flag and youtube removed it within 5 minutes. They haven't reposted BUT before I found this site I engaged them on Skype because my first reaction was to just pay them. So they gave me until 9am this morning to pay or said they would start reposting. I have ignored their skypes but every hour or so they try to contact me, saying stuff like "u have 1hour"

dumbvictim,

delete and block the scammer in skype. In this way, he will be no more able to contact you. Do the same on every place used online to communicate with the scammer.
Help yourself by helping others - report your scammer here.
Google can be your best friend;use it if you have doubts about someone met online. If someone met online only asks for money, no matter what reason, it´s 100% scam.

I've removed them from my contacts, but because I am using the windows 8 app I cant block people. Not sure why Skype didn't include this feature, but for whatever reason it's not there. It also might be helpful to not block them so if they repost to youtube they will surely send me the link and I can report it?

Find a way to block them. The Google alerts are the best way to see if the video does reappear. You need to stop them being able to contact you in any way.

Oh - and even though I know it can still resurface and I am not out of the woods, for people who are nervous about blocking... I can tell you I feel 500% better already.
