These 23 People Got Blackmailed In The Most Insane Ways

16.

They wanted 15 thousand dollars, or they wouldn’t “allow” their daughter to sign the divorce papers. Thing is, this is 2 years after his daughter left me on Christmas to go home and cheat on me and never come back while also becoming addicted to heroin. I tried going through normal amicable filing without a lawyer, which she just ignored. So this is after she was served with divorce papers formally from my lawyer which was done because she wouldn’t sign. He also emailed me this threat. It was like being blackmailed to get a situation that I didn’t need to happen to occur, in an illegal and documented manner. It was evidence that the money I spent on the lawyer to get detached from that family was well spent.

This girl pretended to like me. She had a picture of my dick she was going to post all over Facebook or whatever at the time unless I bought her a car. I just told her to do it. I knew I had a beautiful penis. Besides, half the people on my Facebook had seen me naked at some point or another haha. She never did it.

A trusted friend had experience with having feelings for people she knew she couldn’t date for some reason or another. I asked her for advice because I had/have feelings for my oldest and now closest friend. Well she worked out who it was that I had feelings for and said, “Listen, I know you’re talking about ____ and keeping secrets from her makes me really uncomfortable. She’s gonna know this time tomorrow, so your best bet is to make sure she hears it from you first.” Literally at no point in my life have I ever had that much anxiety. It turned out okay. The one I have a crush on is now my closest friend.

Friend of mine “met” a girl on pof, and of course exchanged nudes, then her “dad” says she’s 16 give me money or else blah blah blah. Thank God I caught him when I did, because he was literally in the middle of applying for loans. After some convincing, he went to the police. Pretty scary when I think about what would’ve happened had I not caught him when I did.
