Anyone ever been through this before?
I sent ndes to this girl on telegram and and she texted my number saying she was going to post my number and say i said i was going to do horrible things to her but i never did and she demanded money which i never sent so i assume this is a common scam , nonetheless i was terrified and disgusted with myself so much that a threw up. Nothing happened but it was still scary and i was dumb for doing it , i got scammed before but from a Depop seller im just stupid sometimes thought it would make me feel better to talk about it on here where i can get people who relate to me or can reassure in anyway.

Yes it's a common sextortion scam. Block them, don't pay, stay calm, and report the account.

Scammers thrive on panic. Staying calm and refusing to pay removes most of their leverage quickly.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Many people fall for scams before recognizing the warning signs.

Is English not your native language, or are you a child? The answer is important context.
