They gave you a deadline. Our response team can start within 1 hour.
TechForing is a digital forensics firm. We identify who is behind it, take over the communication, work to mitigate the threat, and request takedowns — so you stop facing this alone.
This is not your fault.
Takes about 2 minutes. A case manager reviews every request within 30 minutes, 24/7.
The first hour matters more than almost anything else. Follow these steps immediately — they cost nothing and protect you.
Paying almost never ends it. The demands grow once they know you'll pay.
Screenshot the profile, messages and payment requests — not the images themselves.
Keep the chat and the account intact. Deleted evidence can't be traced.
Once your screenshots are saved, block them and report the account to the platform.
Change passwords, turn on 2FA, hide your followers and friends list.
US: tips.fbi.gov or ic3.gov. Elsewhere, contact your local police.
If you are thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (US) or Samaritans 116 123 (UK). You matter far more than any photo.
Under 18? Contact NCMEC at CyberTipline.org or 1-800-THE-LOST. We do not take paid cases for anyone under 18.
In the first hours: preserve evidence, lock down accounts, and take over the communication.
IP/device tracing, OSINT on usernames and payment details, threat intelligence against known sextortion networks.
Trained negotiators de-escalate and buy time. We never pay the blackmailer and never ask you to.
Takedown requests to platforms, hosts and search engines, plus a police-ready evidence report.
A written report, re-upload monitoring, and a security plan so it doesn't happen again.
Steps 1–3 run in parallel, not one after another — because deadlines matter.
Someone threatens to send your private photos or videos to your contacts unless you pay or comply. It usually starts on a dating app, social DM or random video chat, often with screenshots already taken. We identify the sender, take over the communication and work to stop the spread.
Threats framed around money — a fake compromating photo, "I have your data, pay in Bitcoin" emails, or demands tied to hacked accounts. The claims are often templated and empty, but the fear is real. We verify whether the threat has real evidence behind it and respond accordingly.
A person you met online built trust over weeks, then turned the relationship — and anything you shared — into leverage. It often involves fake identities and overseas networks. We trace the accounts and pressure the network behind them.
Someone gains access to your email, social or cloud accounts and threatens to lock you out, expose your messages, or impersonate you. We secure the accounts, trace the access and preserve the evidence.
AI-generated or doctored images of you circulating, or fake profiles using your photos to scam others in your name. We work to get the content and profiles removed and document everything for reporting.
A former partner threatens to share intimate images or harass you across platforms. We handle takedowns, evidence preservation and platform reporting, and prepare police-ready material if you choose to report.
Not sure your situation fits? Tell us in the form or the chat. If we cannot help, we will say so and point you to who can.
All packages include IP tracing, OSINT, threat intelligence, expert negotiation and takedown support. They differ in how fast we start and how far the work goes.
No one can honestly guarantee a blackmailer won't release content, or that every copy can be removed. We tell you what is realistic before you pay.
A 30-minute phone or video call with a senior case manager, available within 2 hours, 7 days a week. You get a risk assessment and an immediate action plan. The full $199 is credited to any package started within 7 days.
Pay securely by debit or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex). Your statement shows TECHFORING LLC only. We never ask for crypto, gift cards or transfers to personal accounts.
Police, NCMEC and StopNCII help at no cost and we encourage you to use them. What they can't give is a team working your case hour by hour.
We do none of these things.
TechForing is a digital forensics and cyber investigation firm led by Rabiul Islam — about 20 years building technology businesses, a former Forbes Technology Council member, and a member of the Keiretsu Forum angel investor network.
We are registered as TechForing LLC (Michigan) and TechForing Ltd (UK). Our team includes certified digital investigators, OSINT and threat intelligence analysts, and trained negotiators. We have filed formal police complaints in Laos and Hong Kong on international fraud cases.
What we are not: not a law firm, not law enforcement. When you need a lawyer or the police, we tell you — and prepare your evidence.
Everything about how we handle your case is designed so that the smallest possible number of people ever knows anything — and nothing about your case ever leaves a trace where it shouldn't.
We work from screenshots of the threats, usernames and links.
It is stored encrypted. [Confirm storage and encryption practice.]
Not your family, not your employer, not anyone — without your written permission.
We reach you only on the channel you choose, and we never leave detailed voicemails.
Your card statement shows TECHFORING LLC, with no reference to your case.
Your service agreement includes a confidentiality clause. After your case closes, we delete your files on request [within X days], except records the law requires us to keep.
Voice and chat transcripts are used only for your case. [Confirm the voice agent's recording and retention settings match this line.]
No. The FBI agrees — paying rarely ends it, and the demands almost always grow once they know you'll pay.
No. Anyone who guarantees that isn't being honest with you. We tell you what is realistic and work hard to reduce the risk.
Often — the accounts, the network, and the likely location. Not every case can be fully identified, and we're upfront about that.
Our negotiators de-escalate and buy time. We never pay the blackmailer and never ask you to.
1 hour on Critical, 6 hours on Priority, and within 24 business hours on Essential.
No. We file takedown requests with platforms, hosts and search engines, and monitor for re-uploads.
Never. We do not need your private photos or videos to help you.
Not from us. Your card statement shows only the company name.
Yes. We encourage it and prepare a police-ready evidence report for you.
Use the free help too. What we add is the hour-by-hour case work — a team actively investigating, negotiating and pursuing takedowns.
Tell us what is happening. It takes about 2 minutes, it is confidential, and a case manager reviews it within 30 minutes.
