    Blackmailing

    Posted by Hannah on October 7, 2021 at 9:07 am

    How do you deal with blackmail from a friend that could ruin your reputation??

    First, If someone blackmails you… that person is not your friend. Second If someone seeks to blackmail me, my first thought is that it is that person who should be asking for mercy, not me.

    My friend is blackmailing me. She is forcing me to tell someone I like them, and if I don’t do it, she is going to spread a nasty rumor about me. What do I do ??

    I’ve faced such situation before. . Do not ignore this it will only get worse.

    First report it immediately to your parents and if the person is studying or working with you, report it to your HOD / Boss. This will create a fear in the person’s mind. Secondly support of parents and guardians will help you get the confidence to confront the situation.

    Second ignore the person completely and forever. BLock him on ur phone contact list and all social apps. Try to be in group while moving out. This will ensure that the person doesn’t get a single moment to harass you.Person may try calling from other numbers, cut the phone immediately oncebyou know it is from dat person.

    Keeping police informed is a good option but discuss with your guardians first.

    Hope this helps.

    Report your “friend” to the Police; blackmailing is illegal. Your “friend” is committing a criminal act, and needs to be arrested for it.


    Your only real option is to turn the blackmailer in, and deal with the consequences of the exposure of your secret if that even happens.
