Sexual Extortion in Pakistan — Your Emergency Guide
Sexual extortion (sextortion) — blackmail using intimate images or information — is rising rapidly in Pakistan. You are not alone, and there are clear steps to take.
🚨 Do NOT pay blackmailers. Payment confirms you will pay and escalates demands. Most never release content even when paid.
If You Are Being Blackmailed
- Stop contact — do not respond or negotiate
- Screenshot and preserve evidence — all messages, profile links, payment demands
- Report to FIA Cybercrime — Helpline 9911, cybercrime.gov.pk
- Report on the platform — Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook all have reporting tools
- Tell someone you trust — isolation makes blackmailers more powerful
Reporting Platforms
- FIA Cybercrime Wing: 9911 | cybercrime.gov.pk
- National Response Centre for Cyber Crime (NR3C)
- Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA): 0800-55055
What Law Enforcement Can Do
FIA Cybercrime has successfully prosecuted sextortion cases. They can trace accounts, coordinate with international law enforcement, and pursue perpetrators — including those operating from overseas.
