Why Sextortion Scammers Keep Messaging You (Even After You Block Them)

You blocked them. You deleted the chat. Maybe you even changed your username.

But somehow — they’re still messaging you. New accounts, same threats.

If you’re wondering why the sextortion scam won’t stop, you’re not alone. This blog explains what’s happening and what to do about it.

Why They Keep Messaging (Even After You Blocked Them)

Sextortion scammers are persistent because they’re working from a script and system, not emotion.

Here’s why they don’t stop:

• They’ve saved your profile, phone number, or email

• They’re using multiple accounts (sometimes hundreds)

• They don’t care if they waste time — just one payment makes it worth it

• They use bots and scripts to send messages automatically

Are You Being Targeted Personally?

Not really.

In most cases, you’re not being “stalked.” You’re in a mass list — they message as many people as possible and focus on those who react.

If you replied emotionally, argued, or paid — you moved higher on their list.

Why Changing Accounts Doesn’t Always Help

Scammers may track you by:

• Recognizing your profile photo or username pattern

• Seeing mutual followers if you follow them again

• Using linked phone numbers or recovery emails

This is why it’s not enough to just start a new account — you need to change how you show up online.

How to Break the Cycle

✅ Stop replying completely — don’t explain or threaten
✅ Block every new contact immediately
✅ Make your accounts private
✅ Change profile pictures and usernames
✅ Consider a new email or number if they keep returning

What Actually Stops Them

Scammers back off when:

• You become “unprofitable” (no reply, no payment)

• They realize you’ve taken legal or professional action

• Their accounts get reported and blocked repeatedly

Time + silence + pressure = they move on.

But if they’ve already sent something to your contacts or won’t let go, it’s time for expert support.

Final Words

You’re not being singled out because you did something wrong. These scams are about control, fear, and automation.

You don’t have to handle it alone.
