Sextortion Scam Awareness

Sextortion is a serious form of online exploitation which can target anyone regardless of age, gender or sexual orientation. Scammers either threaten or socially engineer victims into sharing intimate images/video content and then extort payment by threatening to publicly share or post the images/video content. There is support available – you are not alone. See our Extortion Scam Awareness Tip Sheet for Teens and our Guide For Supporting a Victim of Sextortion resources for more information and support.
