What should I do about a blackmail threat on WhatsApp?

On Saturday, 8th June 2024, I received a video call on WhatsApp from a girl who engaged in inappropriate behavior and recorded the video. Now, she is demanding 11,000 INR to delete the video and threatening to send it to my Instagram friends. I am currently living in Greece. What should I do?

So first of all you should block the contact from the WhatsApp and the Instagram and also restrict that account from all the social media platform and make your account private so that no one can be able to contact your friend list without your permission and then follow the general law of Greece relating to information technology .

Sir, firstly you should block the contact from every platform and do not comply with the demands. You should immediately report the incident to local law enforcement or Greece’s Cybercrime Unit and preserves all evidence like messages, screenshots, and videos.
