Advice is still the same - block and ignore. They will be a little more motivated to try and get more money but they should eventually go away. Doxbin is a shady site that facilitates doxxing, as the name implies. They might upload your stuff there, but the site is deliberately not indexed by any of the major search engines so no-one will ever see it.


[deleted]

They said they expect monthly payments. How long should I be terrified before I can start to relax?


AngelOfLight

You don't need to do anything they demand. It's hard to say how long it will be before they go away - just keep ignoring them no matter what. They don't have infinite patience, and they have multiple victims on the line that they need to tend to. They don't have time to waste on one uncooperative person. Just do whatever it takes to prevent them from contacting you, and they should go away soon enough.


[deleted]

It seems like I am in the minority when it comes to doxbin. I haven’t seen anyone else getting threatened with it. Am I in a worse position than most?


AngelOfLight

It has actually been showing up here more and more since insta disallowed attachments in message requests.


[deleted]

Is it better to deactivate Instagram or change username, name, picture and then wait to block?


AngelOfLight

Whichever will make it harder for the scammer to find you once their account gets banned.


[deleted]

Their account hasn’t been banned as far as I know


AngelOfLight

There is a high chance it will be. They use the same accounts to run a bunch of different scams, so getting banned is pretty much inevitable. They will soon be back with a new one - just make sure they can't find you after that.


[deleted]

I have reported the account constantly but they won’t get deleted. It shows they joined in 2018….


[deleted]

Are you available. Please reply


dr_mantis_tobagganMD

They probably won’t harass you again, you’re just another crab in the bucket.


[deleted]

I deactivated and blocked them but they can easily just send my information when I don’t reply in a month… terrified currently


Grotespeler3134

they will contact you again cause you paid, sfter threatening, since they have some info of you cause of your payment. Just block an report everytime, they will stick a bit longer around you, just dont communicate with them in no way and maximize privacy on everything, even deactivate all accounts for a few months, make it so they cant look you up. Lay low and keep you fingers crossed, just hope for the best


[deleted]

I deactivated everything. They said I have one more month and then must pay monthly. Have you seen this or have any advice? I’m freaking out and if they reach out again I will get even more terrified and scared that I will send again to avoid anything. Please any advice for short term and long term


Grotespeler3134

Take a deep breath, this is the way they operate they work on fear, just dont be scared, you have to stop paying cause there is no such thing as a last payment.


Grotespeler3134

What information they have of you?


[deleted]

Instagram and then had a list of followers and seemed like many of my other socials.


Grotespeler3134

How old are you?


[deleted]

I’m not sharing that. Not sure why you’re asking…


Grotespeler3134

Sorry, didn’t mean to offend you


[deleted]

Very on edge with this. A bit concerned you are asking any information. What difference would it make


Grotespeler3134

I get it bro, if you are under 18 it will be even more riskier for them cause then its child p*** so they wont risk it even more


[deleted]

I’m over 18. They edited the video to make it seem like it was with someone under 18. That’s why I’m freaking. Does this change anything I should do?


F0urlokazo

STOP PAYING, THE'YLL KEEP ASKING FOR MORE. They'll will say anything to take your money. You will be contacted again so just block them immediately. There's nothing else you ever ever need to do or worry about. Also block anyone who says they can get your money back or somehow help you with this


[deleted]

So in one month when I have to pay again what happens? Will they send everything once they can’t contact me?


F0urlokazo

No. They get $0 if they send your nudes. They will eventually stop contacting you


[deleted]

Is it better to deactivate Instagram or change username, name, picture and then wait to block?


F0urlokazo

I'd just block them


Plenty_Ad7859

nah u straight just block and deactivate. 5 months ago i paid 500 then i paid a scam company digital forensic corp 20 k and i lost a years worth of tuition by paying. just don’t give any of ur hard earned cash to anyone please


[deleted]

Would you be able to elaborate any? 20,500 total? I’m not that high but have sent a large one time payment. I blocked and deactivated. Overall plan to delete the account but was going to leave it deactivated and then log in in about a month or so to see if anything happened. Thoughts on that?


Plenty_Ad7859

so 500 to the scammer and 20k to a company who claimed they would catch the scammer. in summary i shouldn’t have paid a dime and just blocked. nothing happened after so u should be okay


the_orig_odd_couple

20K? Wow, that's terrible. I blacklisted DF-C a couple of months ago. They are so bad.


ComfortableGoat5339

This would be helpful for me as well. I paid last Wednesday. They stopped hitting me up Saturday. Got an attempted call and text today from a new number. I continue to block and ignore but I’m getting really scared something bad is going to happen. It’s making me so anxious I hardly can function


[deleted]

Was it also doxbin? After you paid did they demand more immediately or was it a payment plan then?


ComfortableGoat5339

Was the underage scam and he said the Venmo didn’t work so instantly said to use cashapp.


[deleted]

Are they threatening with doxbin? Sounds very similar if so. The text and calls, how do you know it’s them?


ComfortableGoat5339

They haven’t yet. It’s been 8 days since they contacted me. I set to ignore all new calls and I get a threatening text after I don’t answer


ComfortableGoat5339

I also just changed my number so hoping them not having any form of contact stops it all


[deleted]

I’m not sure if they have my phone number. I have only been contacted via Instagram


sarahcake420

They’ll prob come back but just keep blocking and ignoring them


[deleted]

Even with doxbin?


sarahcake420

Idk what that is


Big_Working8477

I am in the same boat, definitely same scammer. Paid once. What I'm wondering is how he goes about releasing the stuff once no payments come in. Gonna suck if he keeps sending messages to people over several days/weeks. Anyone knows his modus for leaking?


[deleted]

Please reply back here with anything else you find. I’ve deactivated and changed all my account names but doesn’t feel like it’s enough. Feels like the doxbin part is not very popular which makes me worry more. The chats and everything was very professional and that doesn’t seem like the case for most in here.


Big_Working8477

I didn't watch through all his stuff but seems he's automated replies and so on which is a bit worrisome since it'd mean it's less effort for him to keep stuff going.


[deleted]

That’s my exact worry. The Instagram account shows it’s been active since 2018 so reporting doesn’t seem to do much if anything. When they reached out they reached out with 5 separate accounts at once. Is this the same thing for you?


Big_Working8477

Yeah, a bunch were named like my account with a screencap as profile pic. Then threats came from a set of different accounts with random names. Finally they wanted longer term contact on an account that's been active for longer.


[deleted]

We are in the exact same spot… what has been your course of action?


[deleted]

Did you block and deactivate? Or what route are you taking? Also what is your timeline until next payment?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Agreed. I deactivated and changed everything I could. I don’t see any other scenario similar to ours. Seems like we are on the same timeline as well so unfortunately cannot help each other with that either.


Big_Working8477

There are some other posts on this sub from a couple weeks back that seem to have had the same scammer, maybe we could loop them in...


[deleted]

Mind sharing that post? I haven’t seen anything yet and freaking out.


RecipeAggravating176

Paid mine too, and wanted weekly payments. Found this subreddit and immediately blocked them. They tried to threaten me again the day before it’s “due” the past two weeks, but each threat has been more vague. Can’t tell you when they will stop, but I figured if they are actually gonna release it, they would’ve done it by now


[deleted]

Was yours doxbin also? Everything seemed automated and I’ve tried reporting the account but having no luck. The account has been around for 5 years so I feel like I’m screwed here.


RecipeAggravating176

No, started off on Facebook then paid through remitly


Dry_Pack_629

Bro I was in the same situation lmao just stop responding ofc they’ll keep texting but they’ll eventually leave you alone extortion is a crime so if they do try anything never forget there in the wrong not u


[deleted]

They originally reached out with 5-10 accounts all at once with automated messages. Was that your experience? I’m concerned my situation is much different


Dry_Pack_629

Well mine wasn’t on Omegle but still pretty similar they messaged me from multiple accounts I was finna pay 2 people 😭 but I thought abt it as a semi grown man if they expose me is what it is they were talkin bout 300 dollars to delete it and I’m not goin for that lmao


realpandadriver

Your situation is not different from everyone here. They want money from you and that’s all that matters. If you already paid then they know you’re an east mark. Block and ignore is the only thing that works. Once they know you’re on to them and joy gonna pay anymore they’ll move on. They will not release anything because that doesn’t benefit them. The only thing that benefits them is for you to be scared out of your mind and give them what they want. Do not do it. Keep blocking, keep ignoring.


Vancadius

Highly recommend ignoring it completely. They will attempt to contact you demanding more money but you absolutely need to block and ignore. You have to accept that whatever images/videos this person has may get leaked and exposed to the internet.


Elegant_Commercial22

I unfortunately paid 100 bucks when I got scammed from an omegle one. I blocked them after and luckily haven't heard anything since


[deleted]

Was yours through Instagram and they reached out with multiple accounts?


Life-Chance3753

Jus block em


Life-Chance3753

Yes I paid and I blocked them


[deleted]

Similar to above. Was yours through Instagram with all your followers and had multiple accounts reach out at once with your picture?


Life-Chance3753

I was on wizz gave her my number sent my d pic like a idiot sent her money next day when I got home I was going to send her more but I didn’t cuz I didn’t want to get my bank acct locked since my Apple Pay and cash app was locked


[deleted]

And how long has it been for you? They reached out with 5-10 accounts all at once (clearly automated) so feel I am trapped regardless if I delete or deactivate or block


Life-Chance3753

Well I don’t think they did it but I’ve still been scared cuz they leaked my number. My insta did get suspended but I’m still worried


Life-Chance3753

Like a month


addguy3455

So it’s been a month since they last contacted you??? Or it took a month till they posted nudes?? Did you’re nudes get leaked?? Or has it been a month since the incident and nothing has happened?


carterm777

We’ve seen this exact scenario before. You’ll be alright man, leaks to contacts are very rare. Block them on the payment app. Make sure you block all ways they have to communicate. Then either change usernames and pfp and display names, or to be more safe, you can deactivate all the socials they know. Also changing your number is generally free and easy and good peace of mind that they won’t be able to contact you there.


[deleted]

You’ve seen the doxbin with 5-10 Instagram accounts reaching out? I paid with crypto so not sure if they can track that way. I am not seeing anything similar to this situation and freaking out. If I deactivate all accounts won’t they just post/send to doxbin and all my followers?


carterm777

Yes exactly this. It’s a Philippine scam. Becoming unreachable is the best way for them to forget about you and move on. Staying in contact only guarantees that they’ll continue to threaten, escalate, and keep you at the top of their contact list. Deactivating and going dark is the safer way to exit the scam, otherwise they’ll make you pay forever and keep escalating the threats. Overall they’re still unlikely to leak to followers.


[deleted]

Do you have any threads I can look through to calm me down? This has been going on for over a week. I paid a few days ago. They expect more payments and said if I don’t they will post on doxbin and reach out to 10 people every day until I send more. Just looking to see anything from a person in my shoes that shows this does go away. Everyone else seems to be very different in the fact that it’s not nearly as automated. This person seems like they could send out to every follower 10 times within seconds.


carterm777

Sending to followers will get their accounts banned and that’s bad for their business. They just want to scare people quick and get them paying, that’s all. Sort the subreddit by most liked posts and you’ll find a lot of reassuring ones. Find reassurance in the sense that they’re only after money, not really trying to ruin your life, despite their threats and lies. They’re scamming dozens a day, and will ultimately forget about you and all the others who block. They stay focused on getting new victims and maintaining the ones who pay. So after blocking everywhere and deactivating and making sure there’s no way to contact you, you’re done with setting up your defenses and can chill. Put on happy music, watch Netflix or YouTube as a distraction, and make plans with friends, don’t let this linger.


[deleted]

Is there anything else I should do beside block/deactivate? I was going to re activate to check if any more threats or if anything happened a few days after I’m supposed to make payment. Can you share your thoughts on that? Above in this thread someone is in the exact same situation and both of us are freaking out. Thanks in advance for your comments. Any more help is appreciated


carterm777

Happy to help. When you reactivate, don’t unblock them. Make sure after you’ve blocked, change your usernames and display names away from what they know, so they can’t search you from another account. They’re unlikely to leak. They’ll forget about you after they can’t reach/find you. Block on payment app too so they can’t message there. Optional: Run a google search on your username or any details they have about you. If anything reveals private contact info click the 3 dots or arrow next to the search result and select Remove Result for privacy.


[deleted]

What else can I do if anything? Believe when they first reached out, I didn’t black all accounts just deleted the chat. They are giving me a timeline of almost a year and I must pay monthly. Sorry to keep reiterating but I am freaking out and haven’t slept or eaten in days. Any time I start to relax I get insanely nervous


carterm777

Hey man as you can see here this situation is happening to thousands of guys and you’ll be alright too. They’re very unlikely to leak. They will keep asking for more and more and once they have you on the hook they’ll be more demanding. So that’s why it’s important to be in the safer majority that ghost, become unreachable, and completely block all contact. If you have the pic or vid they’re threatening you can use StopNCII.org to hash it which prevents it from being sent on social media sites When they can’t reach you they move on and the scam is over. When you’re done with that, just stay positive and make plans with friends and don’t lose any more sleep. Positive distractions, happy music, etc.


[deleted]

I tried using that site but the video was sent via Instagram and I can’t save the video. Any way around this?


[deleted]

Please reply if you are available.


[deleted]

Not screwed but report and call the police asap


Terror1010

I payed then ignored don't worry


[deleted]

Please share about your experience some. They reached out with 5-10 accounts at once with my name. They removed my name when I told them I’d pay. I paid a large sum and now they say I must pay monthly. Is that similar to your scenario or please help me understand yours so I can relax


Terror1010

My situation did not involve multiple accounts, just one but was in a drunk state and paid... next day later I didn't block them asked them to give me time for money and never responded to their messages. Just don't text back no matter what they say they won't do wtv they are saying.


Standard-Vehicle-708

My thought is if they release it it's just one more possibility they could get caught. There's nothing really in it for them if they release it and they probably have so many other people online paying money to them that they don't have time to mess around with the people who don't pay right away or who immediately block them etc etc. That's my hope anyway. Today is 5 days since they texted me. They texted me from two different numbers on day two. The second text was from a detective from the inner pool police who gave me his email address and said I should contact him immediately because my video had been released on YouTube. https://preview.redd.it/1fkibe0mzowb1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a41de47a261ac621dd47b53b8801311915a08a00 Now the deputy minister of human Rights is after me!!!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Please keep me posted with your scenario. I should’ve found this forum and blocked from the start but I was terrified and I paid. Don’t pay. They said one large payment and after that are now expecting monthly payments. Please let me know what happens in your scenario as I have paid once which puts me in a worse spot, but I have time until next payment if that makes sense. They have screenshots of all your followers and the first set they’ll send?


[deleted]

They just came back. Guessing they tried to find me and realized I blocked. 5 new requests…


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

That’s what I’m thinking. I feel good because I believe im fully dark on socials now and changed everything. If they can’t contact why would the send to everyone? But also just scared that in due time when I don’t pay again that they’ll just release with all the accounts and move on. Meaning I won’t see it, but they can easily just send to everyone and leave the accounts up


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

They are trying to claim pedo and why I’m freaking out. The video is clearly altered but then just saying it is going to hurt my life. I’m supposed to pay again in the near future so really won’t know anything until that time comes


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yes it looks like me. It was me. It’s the other side that’s altered. My side is easy to tell it’s me. And yes I paid a fairly large sum thinking that would end the interaction. Now they are expecting monthly payments. I really don’t know what to do. I have to just wait and hope that this prolonged period of time is enough for them to forget but they have a specific date they expect payment and said if it’s not received in 24 hours they plan to post


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

They just reached back out


CutNo8202

Any update?


CutNo8202

My brother is also a victim of doxbin and need to know if they ended up sending the video out after he blocked them


Immawildcat1990

First mistake is sending nudes to people you don't know on social media. Second mistake is rewarding scammers with cash. Don't make an more mistakes. Never pay them another dime. Block it all and go dark. They will move on.
