I need help immediately. Last night, in a moment of panic, I used a random service for a discussion post. I paid with my credit card. This morning, I got an email from someone claiming to be the 'support manager.' They said they have my name, my school, my IP address, and a copy of the paper.
They are threatening to contact my university's honor council unless I pay them an additional $500 'silence fee.' I'm shaking. I know I messed up by using them, but this feels like a crime. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I go to the police? What do I do?
