Skype Blackmail Scammer

I was recently the attempted victim of a illicit video scam. I was shocked at first that it happened to me mostly because I take better care than most to avoid this but it happened. unlike most people when it happens to them they react emotionally and either
send it or don't immediately take any steps to help the authorities to find out who did it and protect yourself.

When it happened I started immediately calling "her" buff especially since they were going to send it to was me best friends wife. I called him and her after a week about it and they said they didn't receive anything. while the peoson was skyping with me
I decided to start screen grabbing and changing passwords just incase. I then found out who they were via GOOGLE and a little digging into the persons operation and had all the info I needed I sent back a reply telling them to post it because it didn't matter
to me and thanked them for helping me prevent it from happening to me again and finishing with calling them by their names.

4 months have gone by and I haven't heard a word from them, I also haven't ever found my info, video, or other details on the internet.

The reason I'm posting this is I want people to know that the blackmail scanner are not going to use a site that can easily trace their account via two different apps, SKYPE being the one used to contact you for the most part of the scam. SKYPE can trace
the blackmail scammer and they don't want thatto happen, as well if you report it to the Federal government iC3 department they can use the powers the "PATRIOT ACT" gave them to activate the govt chip in the scammers computers that all computers have that
allows the Alphabet agencies to access the info on a computer, and arrest them. The Scammers don't want this to happen which is why they will not post it to the internet.

Just to clarify most people other than celebs , politicians, scientists or people working on classified projects and/or new drugs/technology will not be targets of sophisticated blackmail schemes that will employ real HACKERS. Real Hackers won't use sites
like SKYPE, HOTORNOT, TINDER, FACEBOOK, or give you a PayPal account # due to the fact that all of those can be traced. they will use crypto currency sites, anonymous wire transfers, anonymous chat rooms, and won't ask you to be friend's or add them to your
facebook friends etc.

Like other people have said in the past on forums tell them no and if you want to be rude send them a meme with an insult!
