How online blackmail help works
Reports on their account, written for you.
We write the reports on the account threatening you and file them wherever a platform takes a report from us.
Most reports about private messages have to come from your own phone, so we walk you through those.
Your FBI report, written with you.
We write your FBI (IC3) report with you, and you submit it in your own name. Police and the FBI take reports and investigate. We encourage you to report, and we never tell anyone not to.

What we areOnline blackmail help: questions
Where can I get help if I am being blackmailed online?
Stop replying and do not pay — payment confirms you are reachable and the demands escalate. Preserve the messages, then ask us privately with a short description and a reply email. Keep intimate files with you. You see our price before you pay, and a person reviews every paid case within 48 hours, with a full refund if we can’t take it. If anyone involved may be under 18, use NCMEC's Take It Down and report.cybertip.org instead of a commercial path.
Is sextortion a crime?
Threats involving intimate images can be criminal, extortionate, and reportable. If there is money demand or coercion, preserve the messages, stop responding, and consider reporting to the FBI at ic3.gov. If anyone involved may be under 18, use NCMEC resources instead of a commercial path.
Are you connected to the police or the FBI?
No. AboutUs is a private company. Not a government agency, not law enforcement, not a law firm, and not affiliated with the police, the FBI, Google, Meta or any app. Police and the FBI take reports and investigate. We encourage you to report, and we never tell anyone not to.
Should I pay someone threatening me?
No. Don’t pay — not once, not “one last time.” Payment confirms you’re reachable and the demands escalate. Preserve the messages, stop responding, and ask us privately. Keep private files with you; asking does not authorize paid work.
What can't you do?
We can't stop someone from posting, or from sending a private message to people you know. We can't delete the images from their phone or their accounts, find out who they are, or get back money you've already sent.
When do the 30 days start?
Fixed days, counted from Day 0: the day your case is accepted and your authorization letter is signed. If a day lands on a weekend or slips, it moves to the next working day, and we tell you the real date.
How do I get leaked photos removed from the internet?
Tell us where the copies are, without sending the images themselves. NCII Removal ($2,750, one time) is removal work on intimate images already posted: a removal request on every copy we can find, with the site, its host, Google and Bing, and follow-up on each one for 30 days, with a written record of what came down. You see the price before you pay, a person reviews your case within 48 hours of payment, and if we can’t take it you get a full refund. Sites and search engines decide what comes down, and we never promise a removal.
How fast can leaked or intimate photos be taken down?
Timing depends on the platform, whether the request is complete, and how the platform responds. Under the TAKE IT DOWN Act, a covered platform must remove a qualifying intimate image within 48 hours after a valid request from the person shown or someone authorized to act for them. That is the platform’s legal duty, not an AboutUs promise or timeline; results vary.
Still threatened? We take over the response.
Tell us what's happening. We'll say plainly what we can do and what it costs.
