I am being scammed/ blackmailed by someone i paid through paypal (idiot that i am). They are threatening to tell my wife as they found me on facebook. No idea what to do! Help and advice appreciated
1. Does this person have any tangible provable information to give you your wife other than I seen Shaun for sex a few weeks ago? As if so why not just deny it to her? If I was married I would believe my partner over some random crazy.
2. Report all details to Action Fraud

4. Complain to PayPal that you were defrauded on their service.
5. Take a screen grab of their AW profile and PayPal account details in the payment page and everything else incase it gets closed down. (click printscreen button on your keyboard and paste it into MS paint and save it).
6. Post all of the details you have on this person on the forum. Including the print screen.
7. Have a look at the payment request email to see if it has the persons home address on it.
