I just got a weird message from someone threatening to post my private pics unless I pay. I don’t know how they got them or if they’re even real, but I’m freaking out. Has anyone dealt with this? What should I do?

Yes, unfortunately, this happens more often than you think. First, don't respond or pay anything - this usually only makes the situation worse. Take screenshots of the messages, block the person, and report it to the platform.

You are not alone in this matter. Stay calm, collect evidence, and don't give in to fear.
