Man Proposes Woman And Demands ‘Private Photos’, Later Threatens Her Saying 'You'll Get Famous Soon'

Viral Reddit Post: A woman shared a terrifying online experience that has left many people concerned for her safety. She revealed that over a year ago, she connected with a man through mutual Instagram followers. “There was this guy I met last year in November or before (I don’t even remember). We had mutuals on Instagram, so we followed each other. He wanted a relationship with me. I spoke to him for a few days and exchanged numbers."

"He proposed me and told me that he really likes me, which was strange because he had like 900+ women in his following. He also started asking me for private photographs. I blocked him, and I’ve been at peace since then," she shared in a Reddit post. She firmly refused his requests for private photos and blocked him, thinking the matter was over.

However, the situation resurfaced unexpectedly when she changed her phone and accidentally unblocked his number. “I saw 4 missed calls today from his number. I had totally forgotten this guy," she wrote. She also revealed a chilling message he sent: “You’ll get famous very soon," which left her frightened. “What should I do now? I didn’t respond or tell anything. I just blocked that number as well," she added.

The woman also criticised the National Cyber Helpline, saying they often dismiss warnings as empty threats and only take action after something serious happens. “They will just say, ‘Madam, these are just threats,’ " she explained, highlighting the lack of timely support for people facing online harassment.

Her post caught social media attention. "Honest advice, even though it probably is a scary situation. If you haven't really shared anything, you are 100% safe. Sure, the guy can morph but then literally anybody following you can, but that would have been worse, as you wouldn't know who did it but now you know. It's probably an empty threat; block him again and ignore. Don't fall for the trap and do anything stupid," a user wrote.

"As long as you've not actually shared anything, it's okay. Mostly, these are just threats; he's trying to get your attention. Block him once again," a second user wrote. "A simple tip to women here. Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, these are our social identities that include Family, Friends, Relatives, Colleagues, etc. Unless you are widening your circle of friends, Ex, say you are an influencer, etc, there is no reason you should be letting people know or encouraging people in these," added a third user.

"Don’t fall for this. He can’t do anything if he has nothing to threaten you! Calm down and ignore him, I promise nothing won’t happen!! And I assure you, because I come from a background where the boys have such fragile egos and they will send texts like these just so that they can feel they’ve scared the shit out of you! Don’t reply and sit back," wrote a fourth user.
