Remove a fake profile or account impersonating you.

Before you report

Find who controls the fake account.

There is no single form for fake accounts. Good notes separate who controls the account, where your photos appear, what proof the reviewer needs, and whether search delisting is only a limited result.

Start with the platform's impersonation report.

Major social platforms have a way to report accounts that pretend to be you. Use it, because reviewers expect impersonation reports to be kept separate from general abuse reports.

Each platform has its own review process, its own proof requirements, and its own limits. This page can explain that; which report fits your case, what proof to include, and how it is followed up are handled privately in your case file.

One honest caveat: platforms generally expect the person being impersonated, or someone authorized to act for them, to make the request. If the impostor is using someone else's name, that person must authorize the work.

• 01A copy of your social profile: a profile or Page is pretending to be you.
• 02Fakes on several platforms: the same misuse of your identity is spread across several services.
• 03It keeps coming back: the fake disappears, then returns under a changed name.
• 04A page on another site: a dating profile, scam page, copied-content site, or search result is using your likeness.

When the platform's report isn't enough.

A single, obvious fake may be solved through the platform's own report. Paid help becomes useful when the problem is bigger than one form:

• 01There are several fake accounts on several platforms at once, each with its own process and proof requirements.
• 02The fake keeps coming back under a new name after every takedown — an ongoing problem, not a one-time one.
• 03Your photos are being used on dating apps, catfish profiles, or scam pages with no real reporting process.
• 04The platform rejected your first report, or it's unclear what proof it needs.
• 05The impersonator is using your name to defraud your contacts, clients, or employer, and you need careful records.

Removed at the source — or delisted from search.

These are two different results, and we never blur them. Source removed means the platform took the fake account down — the strongest result, and the goal for impersonation on a platform. Search delisted means a page (for example, a catfish profile on a site that won't act) no longer shows in Google results for your name. Delisting is a limited result, never a substitute for removal — it hides the result without deleting the page. A request we've sent is activity, not a result.

For an account on a mainstream platform, the reason for the request is usually the platform's own impersonation policy. For photos used elsewhere, it may depend on who controls the page, search visibility, who owns the photo, or whether a lawyer is the better route. We tell you up front what your case can realistically support.

Honest timing: a clear, authorized request helps reviewers understand the problem, but timing varies by platform and evidence. Results vary, and what counts as done is written into your service agreement.

What we won't promise.

We don't sell certainty, and you should walk away from anyone who does. No private service controls every platform, host, or repost. Before you pay, your written scope says what counts as done and how refunds work. Rate-card items get a 48-hour acceptance review: if an item is outside the scope or something we can't accept, you're refunded before any work begins.

We also won't pretend delisting is deletion, or promise we can stop a determined person from making a new account. What we can do is keep every request authorized, report page and search results separately, keep follow-up in one case file, and review new fakes we find under a written scope. We're a removal agency, not a law firm — if your situation needs a lawyer, we'll say so.
