hello, i need some advice on what to do.
a vendor i recently ordered from and f/e'd with sent me a message saying that if i do not send 5 btc he plans on swatting my home (which is the address i used to receive the package). now normally i know that these attempts are just baseless blackmail attempts where if i dont respond then everything will go fine, but the vendor from my address has found the information of my family members information and has called my home now around 7 times saying nothing when the phone is picked up. after the phone calls he sent me a message describing how he plans on making my life hell if i do not come up with it. my parents are starting to get suspicious and im starting to get afraid truthfully
can someone help me with what to do? he said that i had 3 days to come provide him with the btc, and its day 2 and theres 10 hours left until its been 3 days from when he sent the message. thank you for any ideas or help
You can't pay blackmailers. Its that simple. You know nothing about an order. You don't know anything about the DNMs. From my eyes, it looks like some asshole vendor picked some random family to terrorize. The next time he calls, simply tell them he has been reported to the FBI for making interstate terrorist threads using the phone and that you have no clue who it is but will not tolerate being threatened.
He has an address. Its meaningless. He's just trying to scare you into paying. He won't do shit. Not worth it. After you give him that next time he calls, ignore all calls (most phones can ignore numbers). Do not respond further to texts. And it'll be over.
The only power a blackmailer has over you is fear. If you don't communicate with them, there is nothing left to do. Blackmailers require you to reciprocate communication. If you don't, he is left stroking his 3 inch penis. By not speaking to him, you've stripped him of what little power he has in the first place. A blackmailer like that only has the power you cede to him. Not talking means stripping any power whatsoever he has. Ignore the fuck out of him.
