Need some advice
I just got scammed last night after matching with a girl on Tinder, and stupidly gave her my IG handle and Telegram. Long story short, we video called and it all seemed legit until she ended the call, and all I saw was video of me (face and all) with the unit I was packin.
ATP I think a "he" took over, so he started demanding 3000 bucks or he'll send it out and "MAKE MY DICK GO VIRAL", which I didn't have (thank God I'm broke). I blocked the user on Tele, but he messaged me on an alternate account again.
I DID NOT PAY.
Bit of a side note: I am somewhat a public figure - in what genre I will not specify for privacy reasons. So he managed to find my mother and a few organizations I'm associated with and actually sent them messages and screenshotted them to me as a threat.
I didn't comply, and blocked the new Tele account and decided to just delete my Telegram account, Tinder and Bumble, and made my creator acc on IG private.
I haven't changed my username or PFP on IG because as much as I am in this predicament, my career relies on it so my question is: How long should I lay low? And how likely is it that they would post the videos anyway?
If there have been any public figures that have been scammed before, how did you deal with it and what were the repercussions of it? And how was life after that?
