I have befriended a cam model. Yes, call me crazy, but I consider her a friend. She has recently confided in me that one of the members of a popular cam site has gotten hold of her personal information, including details about her family. He has been blackmailing her to communicate with him on instant messaging daily. This has been going on for months now and has recently escalated to him asking her for money, threatening to dox her to her family, friends, university, etc.
I have recommended what I can, based on some research (and other threads in this forum):
Please if you have any advice on how I might be able to help her, I would really appreciate it. Even if it is just someone who has been through this that I can put her in direct contact with so she can get some encouragement from a peer.
I have suggested that she should post here directly, but she is unfamiliar with the environment and the forums. She is scared. I have a little experience in this forum and in my experience, there are some awesome people on here that really want to help others.
Thank you in advance. If there is anything I can help with as a long-standing cam site member (on the other side of the screen, as it were) I would, of course, be willing to pay it forward.
Kind regards.

- Stop all communications
- Report him on all platforms for blackmail
- Keep evidence. Messaging logs, screenshots. Etc.
- Make a police report. (though it seems the police are not interested in helping in her country.)
