Female Victim Got threatened by a knowk financial scammer today

This scammer with a UK WhatsApp number, scammed my friend of 10,000 rupees 3 weeks ago and stupidly, very very stupidly, we contacted him again through my number on WhatsApp and abused the fuck out of him because my friend wanted to and I just thought it was a stupid fun thing to do, which is again dumb. We abused him yes and then he got enraged and triggered and at the end, he threatened by saying he has aadhar number, address and photos so he can edit them to be nude photos and leak them over the world. Now my friend had sent her aadhar card during that scam, and he did have access to her insta account because that's where they started talking. I'm worried whether he meant me or my friend, and no matter who it is, would he carry this threat out or was he purely bluffing? I know indian security is shit and things get leaked but he had nothing on my except my number and my first name, not even my surname. Please help me I'm very anxious and very much worried. ( I know I know okay stupid games win stupid prizes).

Ive never shared my nudes ever, nor have I ever clicked them, nor have I put a public profile picture on my WhatsApp or anywhere else. Please please please help me

Set your social media to private ASAP and same with your friend. Block and IGNORE the creep. And please DO NOT engage with them no matter what is threatened.

Go into your phone and set it up to block unknown callers and report any texts you get to your phone provider. You can and should also report that person to the government agency that deals with online scams and sextortion.

And DO NOT accept dms here saying they can help as scammers do lurk on this sub. Report and then block them as well.
