Step 5: This part is essentially important when filling out the rest of the form. Read carefully...
- In the section of the form where it says: Please cite the specific law that the content is allegedly violating, or the area of the law from which you believe your claim arises:
TYPE IN: Blackmail
- Please provide a hyperlink to the specific law: In this section Google "blackmail law". Find a legal site that states what blackmail is in relation to your country. E.g. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/ ... chapter-41
- Please describe how content in question is allegedly violating this law: This is where you go into detail what happened. Tell YouTube you were blackmailed, threatened, how it's affecting you, your family, how the video is inappropriate for content on youtube (nudity) and how you can't "flag" the video because the user/blackmailer set the video as PRIVATE (IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT YOU MENTION THIS OTHERWISE THEY WILL SEND YOU AN AUTOMATIC EMAIL TELLING YOU TO CLICK ON THE "FLAG" BUTTON)Also politely ask you would appreciate a personal response, not an automatic email.- Finish the rest of the form and click Submit.

Step 6: Wait patiently, breathe. Make sure you have completed ALL the steps in this topic on this forum:viewtopic.php?f=20&t=580
It took about 5 days for me to get a response from YouTubeThey personally replied to me, apologised and removed the video completely. They reassured me that the video will know longer be available on YouTube and that it may take up to a couple of days for any thumbnail pictures to be completely removed from searches. You might even get a thank you from them...like I did. Not only did they delete my video which was set on private, but 25 other videos of other men like me who were scammed/blackmailed. 

I really hope this guide helps other people who were scammed, and like me thought deleting private YouTube videos was impossible. You now know that it is possible!!! Goodluck!!!! Just make sure you learn your lesson. I can tell you, I certainly have!!! :oops: :D 

Thank you to this website/forum and all the users and moderators who helped me through this difficult time. It is very much appreciated. Without you all, I wouldn't have survived! I'm a survivor YAY 8-)
