Re: I'm being blackmailed. Please help!
I agree with others that he is probably bluffing. In the unlikely event he does know your details, you need to do as suggested and find where the connection is that enabled him to get that information. Also I very much doubt that if you reward his shitty blackmail tactics it will stop at that one request.
I believe like everyone says he will be limited with the harm he can do, if you get in first with a bluff, and tell him "go ahead I don't give a fuck because veryone already knows what i do" he will hopefully not bother. If he does really do know you, he will give away more info about himself and then you should be able to trace him and get the police involved. He's obviously a dick so he will probably try antogonising you futher. You can make him impotent by simply refuseing to play his games. Don't even reply to him.
Whatever you do, don't reward arseholes.

Hello. Please download AdAware from here -> http://www.lavasoft.com/free_download/trial/ it is a reputable and FREE spyware blocker. I have used it for years and I can 100% recommend it. Download the first on that link that is in orange and says FREE. If a TROJAN or keylogger enters your pc adware will imediately pop-up and tell you THIS IS A TROJAN DO NOT INSTALL IT. Yes I have been saved many times with this programme. I tell you it is fkin awesime, shit I sound like an advert!!! Anyway... **IF** it was me in your situation the first thing I;d have done is say LOL MATE YOU WILL NEVER FIND ME IM SO GOOD AT HIDING MY REAL IDENTITY ITS UNREAL. Then when he told me my STATE, I'd have said LMFAO Yes well done you found my FAKE STATE that I wanted everyone to believe I'm from.. see how good I am?? (even if he found myreal one) I would humilate the little shit into thinking he was worthless, constantly laugh at him and like someone else said DENY DENY DENY. Even if some bugger pasted my exact full name to me, I wouldn't give a shit because I am so good at making them think they are wrong even if they're right.
Here are some tips to help anyone else if they are new to camming: Make up a fake name for use on camming and a fake state and fake AGE (WHY USE UR REAL AGE? Even if its only 1 year out CHANGE it!) then make up a fake REAL name. And put it places hardly anyone will see it, but put it places where people like the above mention douche would go sniffing for it. for example, make a wish list and add your fake real name to it, losers will think you have made a big booboo and released your real name to the world... (really this has worked 50 times over for me the amount of people who msgs me saying "omg quick uve put ur name on ur wish list) i LOL. Other places u can put it is to make a fake profile on social network sites such as 'tagged.com' put 1 of your camprofile photos on it, but fill out the information with all your REAL fake details (different to the camming personality) people who wish to find you will use google image search on your images, which will lead them to this fake profile and make them think they have hit the fucking jackpot (then u pretend to be all upset cause they found u and then do some fake begging and then block him forever leaving him wondering if u went and called the police on him lol) Anyway you get the idea by now????? sorry this happened to you, hope this can serve as a warning for others. Thankyou goodbye.
Re: I'm being blackmailed. Please help!
call the police...you are being blackmailed...tell the blackmailer that the police has been informed and that you will remain in touch with them and report anything at all because you were instructed to do so...
but really call the police, no reason not to...
Re: I'm being blackmailed. Please help!
Oh man... I don't think I could keep up with that much false information! I tell people my real state, but being from Texas, that's not going to help them much. I've slipped up before and mentioned my city, but again, it's a large city, geographically AND population-wise. I do have a fake "real" name (that everyone knows is a fake name), but I give my real age. I don't have any of the same photos on my personal profile (none of the photos on my camming blog are posted to my personal Facebook), and while I do talk about my life somewhat when I'm in free chat, it's never anything that they could actually get any information from. The most "incriminating" thing that I've mentioned ever is that I'm the mother of a toddler living in south Texas. Good luck to them finding me based on that alone. lol

LOL. You cannot just call the police and say "OMG I'M A CAM GIRL AND SOME GUY IN MY CHAT ROOM SAYS THEY KNOW MY INFORMATION AND WILL POST A VIDEO OF ME ONLINE IF I DON'T DO A SKYPE SHOW!!!!!!!!"
Seriously. Waste of police time. There is no proof here that he knows a single thing about her, and she knows absolutely nothing about him. You cannot just file a police report against some unknown internet troll.

Exactly. However, Skype did say they would deal with the situation. We'll see what becomes of that.

Usually it's a bluff. If he knew your real name he would use it when making that threat.
I have had the same sort of crap happen many times. One guy goes around to hosts who appear old enough to have older kids and says "I know your son. I'm going to tell him you are on here." which is hilarious because I don't have a son. I banned him and reported him.
Re: I'm being blackmailed. Please help!
i think i have a stalker outside my apartment. what would someone suggest that i do? do i call the police? If anyone could give me any information or links to other topic links i would be eternally grateful! These are dangerous times these days!
Re: I'm being blackmailed. Please help!
Write down all the details you think are necessary/implicating so you can stay composed and call the non-emergency line immediately to speak to an officer.

i haven't called the police, i am a brit in spain, as far as i know there are no stalking laws here, but have a police station just around the corner. i think its cause of camming. What else should i do? any suggestions?
Re: I'm being blackmailed. Please help!
Guy sounds like an idiot and that's not very threatening. If it's uploaded as private then no one can see it, so you shouldn't be worried about it. If it's uploaded as public, you can have the website take it down for copyright infringement. Any website.
He could just be saying that and it's not even true...he's either just trying to get a rise out of you (check), get a free show, or get a free show AND record it and screw with you.
It's good to keep in mind that when you cam, it most likely WILL end up on the internet one way or another.
