I’m panicking right now not gonna lie. I met this person a few hours ago online and we started talking for a bit and everything was going alright until they started being inappropriate with me so I told them to leave me alone or I was gonna block them, before they started being weird though they asked what I looked like and I showed them cause I thought hey we’re normal. At the time I guess it worked because they stop bothering me however a few minutes later they sent me a edited picture of my face and a naked picture of a child with a caption of my phone number written on it and another caption reading “this person raped a 6 year old until it died, let’s make him go viral.” The person that sent me that then started saying that unless I give them $200 they were gonna post the picture online and send it to my friends and family to ruin my life. However they stopped messaging me about it a while back after I just ignored them.
Now let me say am quick I don’t think that they will contact my friends and family about the image, nor do I think that the picture is going to be posted on social media for several reasons such as
- Idk how they can reach my family/friends so it’s probably just a threat
- Social media sites would take down the image instantly especially since it’s showing cp
- They would be incriminating themselves posting it
Despite that I’m still concerned about how real their threat is. And sorry for any bad English as it’s not my first language and I am stressed out right now.

This is a scam. Screenshot everything and block them on all platforms. Put your other platforms on dark mode for a day or two.
Sounds like they want money, never give them money. There are scales like in r/scams where people will take your nudes and threaten to leak them for money, it seems the scammer you have is being more aggressive by just creating fake images. I am not a lawyer but I will say that the person you are talking to probably has a goal of getting money so do not give any money.
This is a scam. Ignore but do not block. (You’ll likely get answers recommending that you block. This is not advised, as you’ll want evidence).
As a side note, “CP” is a disfavored term. The proper term is “child sexual abuse material.” “Child” is not a category of pornographic entertainment – “child” is a crime.
Don’t fall for this . I once sent one of these scammers out of fear and it was just asking for more . I bit the bullet and hoped they would stop and they did
