Does it make sense to make drastic changes online?

I've considered deactivating my profiles, changing their names and profile pictures, and even changing my phone number. My fear is that they'll get pissed off. What if they get angry and harassed because I've made myself unreachable? I'm one of those who paid, refused to pay again, and blocked them, and I haven't heard from them in four days. Please give me some advice.

AFTER 72H

It's been 72 hours since their last contact. I paid, but realizing I'd made a mistake, I stopped paying. That day, they asked me for more money, which I refused and blocked. They sent me a screenshot of my video being sent to a friend, and I blocked them again. They immediately texted me again from another number, sending me a screenshot of the deleted video, telling me they wouldn't contact me again and that they'd delete everything, thanking me for the money. I'm afraid they'll contact me again, but I won't give them a cent. I acted scared at first, but after taking courage, I stopped paying them. I'm afraid they'll come back. What should I do? I’m living in terror, i cant’sleep.

21 years old, sextortion victim, i’m scared

I'm a 21-year-old Italian boy and a victim of sextortion. It all happened on Saturday, when I met this girl on Omegle with whom I was going to have an intimate video call shortly thereafter. Yesterday, this person contacted me, showing me that he had the recording and my contact list. He threatened to send the video, where my face was visible, to everyone. The only solution was to pay. We agreed on €500, and out of fear, I paid. After the payment, he asked for more money, but I refused, accepting the possibility of sharing it, and blocked him. He immediately contacted me on another number, almost regretfully, thanking me for the money, telling me he would delete everything and that €500 was fine. I'm scared, I don't know what to do, I'm afraid. What if he texts me again? I'm living in terror.
