Sexual extortion or sextortion is a lucrative method that requires little effort from an extortionist. It comes down to someone claiming to have intimate images of you in their possession. That someone threatens to make them public if you don\u2019t come up with the money. If such images of you even actually exist, it\u2019s best to file a police report. However, you can usually be quite sure that the blackmailer is bluffing. In that case, it is not sextortion, but a sextortion scam. Let\u2019s explain the mechanisms behind it and what to do when you encounter it."}
