Individuals

Do not pay. Do not delete. Talk to us.

Almost every sextortion case follows the same script, and the people running it are running hundreds of others. Paying once makes you their best customer. What works is cutting contact correctly, locking down what they can see, getting the content blocked before it is shared, and filing a complaint that names the accounts. We have done this many times and nobody else needs to know.

  • Do-not-pay protocol with the exact words and settings to use today
  • StopNCII hash submission and platform takedown requests, done with you
  • Evidence preserved the way a cyber cell expects before anything is blocked
  • Complaint drafted and filed confidentially, with anonymous reporting where available

Free first call, handled by one person. Fixed fee agreed in writing before any work. Payment plans available for students.

What happens when you contact us

  1. Confidential first call
  2. Lockdown and evidence
  3. Takedowns and complaint
  4. Watch and close

Signs this is what happened to you

  • A video call from a new contact turned sexual and a recording appeared minutes later
  • Messages demanding money with a countdown, screenshots of your friend list or family members
  • A "cyber police officer" or "YouTube official" has called offering to remove the video for a fee
  • An ex-partner or someone you know is threatening to share private images
  • You have paid once and the demands have continued or increased
  • A fake profile is already posting or tagging your contacts with the content

What is included

Do-not-pay and contact-cut protocol

What to send as a last message, what not to send, which accounts to lock, and how to make your friend list, followers and family unreachable within an hour.

Evidence kit

Screenshots with timestamps, profile URLs, phone numbers, UPI IDs used for demands and a short written timeline, assembled before blocking so nothing is lost.

StopNCII and platform takedown

Hash submission to StopNCII.org so Meta and partner platforms block the images on upload, plus direct reports under each platform's intimate-image policy.

Complaint filing

The cybercrime.gov.in complaint under the women and children category where it applies, with anonymous filing where available, citing IT Act sections 66E and 67 and the relevant BNS provisions.

Follow-up scam shield

A plain brief on the second wave: callers claiming to be police, YouTube or a "cyber advocate" who will delete the video for a payment. They are the same group.

Removal monitoring

Searches at agreed intervals for re-uploads under your name, with repeat takedowns where found and a note on when it is safe to stop watching.

How we work

  1. Confidential first call

    One person, no forms. We hear what happened, tell you what to do in the next hour and what not to do. If you are a minor or helping one, we also explain the extra protections available.

  2. Lockdown and evidence

    Together we preserve evidence, then change privacy settings, block and report. Order matters; we walk through it on a call if needed.

  3. Takedowns and complaint

    StopNCII hashes submitted, platform reports filed, the police complaint drafted and submitted. You get every reference number.

  4. Watch and close

    Scheduled checks for re-uploads, then a closure note. Case material is deleted on your request once the matter is over.

What you walk away with

  • Contact cut and accounts locked without giving the blackmailer anything further to use
  • Images hashed with StopNCII and takedown requests on record with each platform
  • A complaint with reference number, filed as discreetly as the process allows
  • Evidence preserved in case a prosecution or a court order is needed later

What we do not do

We would rather lose an enquiry than mislead you.

  • We do not negotiate with or pay blackmailers, and we do not recommend anyone else does
  • We cannot guarantee that a shared image will never resurface; we can make it rare and fast to remove
  • We do not "hack" or access the blackmailer's accounts

Frequently asked questions

They have given me two hours. Should I pay a small amount to buy time?

No. Payment confirms you will pay and the demand rises; many victims who pay are contacted again within days. The threat of sending to your contacts is the only hold they have over you, and in practice sending it ends their income from you. Use the time to lock your accounts and preserve evidence instead. We can be on a call with you while you do it.

Will my family find out if I file a complaint?

Not through us, and not automatically through the portal. The cybercrime.gov.in complaint for sexually explicit content can be filed anonymously. If the police need to contact you, it will be on your number. Many clients handle the whole process without anyone at home knowing.

What does StopNCII actually do?

You create a digital fingerprint (hash) of the image or video on your own device; the image itself never leaves your phone. The hash is shared with Meta and participating platforms, which block matching uploads. It does not cover every platform or Telegram, which is why we also file direct reports and the police complaint.

The blackmailer is someone I know, not a stranger online. Does this change anything?

The legal position is stronger and the police response is usually better, because the person is identifiable. We still preserve evidence first and avoid confrontation. The complaint cites IT Act section 66E and the BNS provisions on criminal intimidation; a court can also order content removed.

Someone claiming to be from the cyber police called and said they can delete the video for Rs 15,000.

It is the same group or one working from the same victim list. No police officer deletes content for a fee and no official asks for payment by UPI. Do not pay, save the number, and send it to us; it goes into the complaint as a further attempt at extortion.

Message us privately
