Hi there,
I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment, even if it is R150 or R200.
It sounds to me as if you've been caught up in a bit of a scam. Almost like an extortion scam whereby they threaten to expose you and demand that you pay money to them instead to go away. What you need to think about is whether these guys will ACTUALLY go away and leave you alone if you pay them, or whether they will just continue asking for more and more and more.
