Female models and lifestyle creators

Harvested in bulk

Scam operations do not steal one photo; they take entire accounts. A single public profile yields hundreds of images with consistent lighting, friends, locations and outfits, which lets an operator answer "send me a photo of you right now" for months.

Three fraud types, one face

The same stolen album serves romance fraud, the wrong-number pig-butchering opener, and sextortion, where short recorded clips play in a "live" video call to convince the target the person is real before intimate images are demanded.

Impossible to clean up

Creators describe an unending cycle: report a clone, another appears. Because the images are already distributed inside closed groups, removal at the source achieves nothing. The practical defence for the public is verification behaviour, not takedowns — which is why these profiles exist here rather than as a takedown list.

If these photos are yours

You are the second victim of this scam. The money goes to strangers, but the face, the name and the reputation are yours — and the angry messages from defrauded people land in your inbox, not the scammer's.

• Save everything: profile URLs, screenshots with visible usernames, message threads, and the dates you found them.
• Report the fake profile on the platform itself under impersonation, not spam. Impersonation reports are actioned faster and you can usually attach a photo ID.
• File a report with your national fraud body (IC3 in the US, Action Fraud in the UK, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, or your local police cyber unit).
• Submit the scammer's contact details — the email, phone, wallet or profile handle, never your own — to our database so the next person who searches that identifier finds a warning instead of a fake romance.
• If someone contacts you believing they were talking to you, be kind and clear: send them to a search page so they can verify the details for themselves.

If you were talking to one of these profiles

Slow down before you send anything. Ask for a live video call on a platform the other person did not choose. Ask for a photo holding a handwritten note with today's date and an unusual word you pick. Run the phone number, email, username or wallet address through our database. A genuine person will pass all three in minutes; a stolen-photo persona will produce excuses — bad signal, hospital shift, offshore rig, army firewall, "you don't trust me".

Never send money, gift cards, crypto or copies of your own ID to someone you have not met in person, no matter how complete the story sounds.
