Protection against Blackmail

How we neutralize threats and extortion

Blackmail always hits the most sensitive point. It could be a threat to disclose private recordings, company documents, or manufactured evidence. At Agora Giedroyć, we do not deal with theory, but with real security. For 9 years, we have been solving cases that others prefer to remain silent about. In 2023, we handled 43 cases related to attempts to extort money for silence. Our method is simple: we analyze if the threat is real, and then we cut the blackmailer off from his pressure tools. To be honest, most of these people are amateurs who withdraw when they hit hard resistance.

The first 3 hours after receiving a threat are crucial for the further development of the situation. This is usually how much time we need for an initial assessment of the perpetrator's profile and the risk of a data leak. If you pay a blackmailer, you signal that you have more money and it's worth harassing you further. This is a mistake made by nearly 83% of people before contacting us. We take over communication. We conduct talks to collect evidence useful for the police, while at the same time preventing the publication of materials online. In the last quarter, we secured 4 data carriers that were supposed to hit social media before anyone had a chance to copy them.

Our specific actions in crisis situations:

• Verification of the blackmailer's identity and location within 6-8 business hours.
• Technical securing of the client's email boxes and messengers.
• Takeover of direct contact with the perpetrator to take the emotional burden off the client.
• Preparation of documentation for the prosecutor's office in Częstochowa or other units in the region.

Every person's situation is different, but extortion mechanisms are repetitive. It often turns out that the person behind the threat is someone from the close environment or a disloyal coworker. Since 2015, we have helped 156 people regain peace of mind and protect their good name. We act without unnecessary noise and media. It happens that even the closest associates of the client do not find out about the problem because we solve it in the silence of our office at Al. Najświętszej Maryi Panny 24. Heads-up: If you have already sent any money to a blackmailer, tell us at the very beginning of the conversation – this is key information for our tactics.

"I had 47 hours to pay ransom for private photos. I thought it would destroy my family. Agora Giedroyć took over contact with the perpetrator in less than 3 hours. The blackmailer disappeared, and I didn't pay him a single cent. It was the best decision in that crisis."
Bartosz Kaczmarek, owner of a construction company from Kłobuck, May 2024.

The facts are that a blackmailer feeds on your fear. When concrete negotiations conducted by third parties come into play, the balance of power changes. We do not promise that every case will end in one evening, but we guarantee that you will not be left alone. The cost of our help is a fraction of what blackmailers usually demand in the first message. We protect your peace of mind because we know how high its price is.
