I was contacted today by a WhatsApp number asking me to pay a large amount of money. Otherwise, private pictures and videos will be published. I did not believe it and suddenly this number actually sends me private videos that this person must have recorded on my laptop. I just called the police but they can't do anything. What can I do?
What kind of videos? Which were stored on your phone or PC or was the secretly recorded on the phone camera / webcam?
Secretly taken over the camera
Bitter. From the mobile phone camera or from the laptop?
In any case, pay nothing, omit the device first and then tomorrow to see what the pole says.
From the laptop. Was that.
And the video is just embarrassing and unpleasant when it gets public or could it have criminal consequences or job loss or similar.
No, I would be very embarrassed because I live in a small town and know a lot of people here.
Then it's good.
Yes, but that's over. So great, the video will not be that people look at it for weeks. Should it really come so far that it is public you have to stop there. And in a year you can laugh about it. Do not worry
I would definitely not pay and if necessary live with it. Who is interested in such videos?
If you had switched quickly, you could have said that he can quietly release the video, since you are not even the person in the video. Then you could have waited for the reaction.
