"Anything else I could be doing?" Not posting it here. If this person is someone you contacted through this website, and you've been told to keep them talking, if they find your thread on here they might stop talking. And you should be screenshotting the conversation as evidence to present to the police. | |||

"I have someone who is trying to get money from me using some xx pictures of me. He’s used something called truecaller and says he has all my contacts. Unless I buy a Steam Card with £4000 on, he will send these xx pictures to all of my contacts. I’ve told the police and all of the online advice says not to pay so I’m keeping the conversation going, saying I will pay him but that I can’t get a card right now. Anything else I could be doing?" Truecaller can't access you data on you phone just your contacts. Just ignore him,vor tell him to release the so called pictures, call his bluff and shut him down | |||

"Thanks for the advice. I’m not going to pay, just keep him talking until he hopefully gets bored. Got to know truecaller doesn’t give him more access than my contacts…which is bad enough. It’s not off here but an app. " Why keep feeding them though? The more you converse with them the more likely they may get actual information out of you inadvertently. Just tell them to piss off, and block them | |||

I doubt they have anything worth £4000 I would block them. | |||

"I blocked an initial number and they were back in 30 seconds on a 2nd number. Both US numbers. He’s sent me screenshots of what he’s got and I’d much prefer them not to be distributed. " They always do that! I had the same thing happen! I engaged them blocked and nothing happened! Keep the police in the loop! If you pay I can promise you there will be another demand, then another! | |||

"So they can’t see my contacts? I’ve been searching and can’t get a definitive answer " Theres a possibility they can get your number if you've previously called them, but there's no way they can access your contacts via that app. It's just a caller ID app that decodes witheld numbers | |||

"So they can’t see my contacts? I’ve been searching and can’t get a definitive answer " Hiya There are features which you can accept given permission for your contacts, most of those Truecaller apps are dangerous as they can steal personal information including details of your contacts and leading to your contacts receiving similar If you have the app unload it and clear the files and history | |||

"There’s no app on my phone. All I’ve had is a text message with a 6 digit code. I don’t know how he would’ve seen the text message though" It would say "verification code sent to mobile number blah". Don't ever give anyone a code that you weren't expecting yourself. Ignore and delete any messages. It will come to nothing. | |||

"The problem with this kind of scam is that the offenders are usually in a different country. Local police can not really do anything with it. They will likely refer you to Action Fraud. My advice. Do not interact. Block, and do not answer a call from an unknown number." Thanks for the advice | |||

" My advice. Do not interact. Block, and do not answer a call from an unknown number." Agreed, I don’t see any benefit from interacting or keeping the conversation going. The only reason I would keep a conversation like that going is so I can tell them that I’m hunting them and what I’m gonna do to them when I find them. | |||

"Just don’t pay because once you pay, they will come back for more. As much of you think how bad it is if they follow through it really won’t be that bad and will be forgotten and they are highly unlikely to follow through because it puts them up more risk from being caught. Somebody I know who is HIV positive, got done for £50,000, within weeks he got done again for the same amount" Scary! I don’t have £50k to give away not even £5k, but, yes I’m not giving him a penny. | |||

"I can provide you with my bank account if you feel like giving away money. More than happy to accept half the amount they are asking for "Sorry, mate, no one’s getting a penny, even when they ask nicely!! | |||

Talking from experience. Ah then I stand corrected. Thank you 🙏 " I know it’s counter intuitive. The advice I had ( wasn’t black mail but hate mail, long story) was hiding is a reaction and both makes it worse for you (feeling of shame when you shouldn’t feel that way) and signals that the threat is having an effect. | |||
