Do not send him money because he will not stop blackmailing you and will ask you repeatedly, to close all accounts and phone numbers that you provided to the blackmailer or that he knows about you, and to inform the competent authorities directly and provide them with the information and not be afraid or shy because it is possible that the blackmailer will be exposed.
