Hello to all Oga in the house,
Abeg, help me with this wahala o.

Someone sent me a mail threatening to create a negative backlink to my site and remove my site from google.

This dude said that I should buy his fiverr gig or else he would create a porn backlink to my site.

What do you suggest I do.
Should I take him serious or I should assume he's just exaggerating.

Do not take him serious bro

Just check your network ports. Especially those ports that are below figure 999.
I dont know the server you are using but from the above threat he may be connected to your website hosting before. Some used to creat secret backdoor on server but this backdoor can either be used for good or for rogue activities as the case above.
To rectify this problem i will advise you immediately change all your server passwords. And check the server log for any secret activity/logging.

The person may actually be the one who made the server settings. Or may in one way or the other being called to rectify a problem on the server in the process he can quickly create the backdoor as it takes less than 2 minutes to create it, (in my opinion this is the real culprit)
Solution just open the log and check all connections allowed. Pay attention to port 80 and 443. These are the powerful backdoor ports. In general pay attention to any port under 1000

This is not new...

Simply report the account with the screenshot as reference..it will get closed down

I'm the only one set my server settings and I haven't given anyone access to my hosting or website apart from the hosting technical support which I gave access to my server settings to rectify a problem I have some time ago.

Do you think they could have any connection to this?

But don't you think he can still push on with his threat?

If he copy my site url and start sharing it on different porn sites thereby creating backlinks to my site, won't google penalize me for that?

Do as i advise you. After that when next he contact you tell him to do his worst.
By the way always have a daily backup of your website ready at all times. And should be in removeable media. Ie get a time of the day that is convenience to you and make it a routine to connect your removeable memory and copy your whole website and database if you have one. After copying remove the external memory and store it very well preferably in different location from your physical server. Just an extra precaution

They wont penalise you. Because they will penalise outgoing links to porn sites but not incoming connections.
Just make sure your site is safe from those outgoing links
