This sounds incredibly stressful. Blackmail can be scary, but there are steps you can take to protect yourself from qjm9ii@mb4.com and similar scammers. Here's what you should do:

Don't Engage with the Blackmailer:

• Don't Respond: Resist the urge to reply to emails or messages from qjm9ii@mb4.com. Responding might encourage them or give them more information to use against you.

Report the Scam:

• File a Report: Report the blackmail attempt to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at https://www.identitytheft.gov/. This helps track blackmail scams and potentially helps warn others.
• Report to Law Enforcement (Consider): Depending on the severity of the threats and the content they're trying to blackmail you with, consider reporting it to your local law enforcement agency.

Secure Your Online Presence:

• Change Passwords: Change the passwords for all your online accounts, especially email and social media. Use strong, unique passwords for each account.
• Increase Privacy Settings: Review and adjust your privacy settings on social media and other online accounts to limit who can see your information.

Here's a potential strategy you can weigh (use extreme caution with re-engagement):

• Carefully Review Past Communication (if applicable): If you have already received messages from qjm9ii@mb4.com, take a screenshot (without engaging further). Look for any details about their demands or the information they're threatening to expose.

Important Note: Do not re-engage with qjm9ii@mb4.com to gather more evidence. Focus on reporting the issue and rely solely on evidence you already have (screenshots if applicable). Only consider this if you feel safe doing so and have already reported the scam to the FTC.

General Tips to Avoid Blackmail Scams

• Be Careful What You Share Online: Avoid sharing sensitive photos, videos, or personal information online, especially with people you don't know and trust completely.
• Beware of Online Solicitations: Don't accept friend requests or messages from strangers, especially if they seem suspicious.
• Strong Passwords & Privacy Settings: Use strong, unique passwords for all your online accounts and adjust your privacy settings to limit who can contact you.
• Trust Your Gut: If something feels off about an interaction, it probably is. Don't be afraid to block someone or end a conversation.
