How to Get Rid of Blackmailers (Without Sending Money)
July 4, 2025
If you searched "I’m being blackmailed on Snapchat," you're not alone — and you’re not overreacting. The fear, the pressure, the racing thoughts... it all hits at once. Whether you were tricked into sending private photos or the blackmailer is threatening to share something you never meant to leak, this is a terrifying situation.
But you’re not powerless.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly what to do — calmly and safely — if you're being blackmailed on Snapchat.
1. Stop All Contact Immediately
The moment threats begin, cut off communication. Do not try to reason with the blackmailer or make any payments. Most of these attackers are part of organized networks that keep pushing once you respond.
Silence is power. Every message you send gives them more leverage.
Block the account on Snapchat. If they message you from another account, block again.
2. Don’t Delete Messages (Yet)
Your instinct might be to erase everything, but keep the evidence. Take screenshots, save messages, usernames, and timestamps. This information is vital if you need to report the crime or get professional help.
If you’re unsure how to save chats on Snapchat, consider recording your screen or using another phone to take photos.
3. Secure Your Other Accounts
If you’ve ever reused passwords or shared login info, now’s the time to act.
Change your email and social media passwords
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)
Log out of all sessions
Blackmailers often dig deeper when ignored — don’t let them find more.
4. Avoid Paying the Blackmailer
It may feel like the only way out, but paying rarely makes them stop. Once you pay, you’re marked as someone who can be manipulated again.
Many victims report being asked for more money after the first payment.
5. Report the Account to Snapchat
Snapchat has mechanisms to report blackmail and harassment. To report:
Open the chat
Tap the user's profile
Tap the three dots > Report
Also notify Snapchat through their Safety Center
6. Consider Legal or Professional Help
If the blackmailer has already shared your content or threatened to send it to your contacts, this is serious.
You can:
Report to your local cybercrime unit or police
Work with experts who remove content, trace digital trails, and protect your identity

7. Protect Your Mental Health
The psychological toll of blackmail is real. Shame, fear, isolation — all of it can weigh heavily.
Talk to someone you trust. If you're afraid to tell family, consider reaching out anonymously to a crisis helpline or a professional support team.
You deserve to feel safe again.
Final Thoughts
If you're being blackmailed on Snapchat, it's not your fault. These attackers are skilled manipulators who prey on vulnerability.
By taking the right steps early, you can take back control of the situation.
