Urgent help

If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.

Threats, blackmail, a minor involved: here are the official services, often free, country by country. Choose your country.

What to do if you are being blackmailed

  1. Don’t pay and don’t send anything else: paying rarely stops blackmail, and often makes it worse.
  2. Stop the conversation, but delete nothing: take screenshots (profile, messages, numbers, demands for money).
  3. Block the person and report their account to the platform.
  4. Tell the police and talk to someone you trust. Helplines for your country are on our Urgent help page.
  5. If images exist: StopNCII.org (if you are an adult) or Take It Down (images from before you turned 18) can block them from being posted on major platforms.
