We remove fake accounts that impersonate you or your business on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X and LinkedIn — including ones the platform has already refused to take down — by escalating past the report button with ID-backed impersonation claims, copyright and trademark reports, GDPR requests and EU DSA notices, for $7,700 per account in typically 5–10 days. You pay only when it's removed. If we can't remove it, you don't pay — any deposit is refunded in full.

Scope
How it works
Share the fake profile's link, your real profile, and examples of what it posts or sends. We check which ground is strongest — impersonation, copyright in your photos, trademark, privacy or EU illegal-content rules — and tell you if a simple report is all you need.
Impersonation decisions turn on proof that the account is pretending to be you specifically. We assemble it: your ID for the platform's own verification, side-by-side screenshots, links to your real profiles, and messages from people who were fooled.
We file through the platform's dedicated impersonation and intellectual property channels and, where those have failed, through EU DSA notices and data-protection requests that require a reasoned answer. If the same person runs fakes on several platforms, we tell you how each one is handled.
Once the account is removed or disabled, we confirm it with you. If we can't remove it, you don't pay, and any deposit is refunded in full.
Legal grounds
Every major platform prohibits harassment, impersonation, privacy violations, non-consensual imagery and fake engagement — and runs formal legal and privacy request channels beyond the public report button.
In the glossary →Hosting services operating in the EU must offer a way to report illegal content, process each notice diligently and explain their decision — including when they refuse.
Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, Art. 16 ↗People in the EU/EEA (and the UK, under UK GDPR) can require organisations — search engines included — to erase personal data that is inaccurate, outdated, unlawfully processed or no longer necessary, balanced against freedom of expression.
Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Art. 17 ↗Already reported it?
A rejected report doesn't mean the account is allowed. It often means the reviewer couldn't confirm the account was pretending to be you, or the report came from someone other than the person impersonated. We re-file through the platform's dedicated impersonation form with government ID, add a copyright report if it uses photos you took, and a trademark report for brand accounts. In the EU, a DSA notice must be answered with reasons, and a refusal can be challenged internally, before a certified out-of-court dispute body, or with your national Digital Services Coordinator. Your name and photos are personal data, so a GDPR erasure request adds weight.
Platforms remove fake accounts when the report proves two things: that the account presents itself as you, and that you are who you say you are. Reports that miss either one get a 'no violation' reply, even when the fake is obvious to everyone who knows you. Each common reason for refusal has a specific fix.
If the account uses intimate images of you, start with the free tools built for that: StopNCII.org for intimate images, and NCMEC's Take It Down (takeitdown.ncmec.org) for images of anyone under 18. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
If a single report removes the account, you don't need a service — try that first; it costs nothing. Our work starts where that fails: impersonators who have survived several reports, accounts that come back under new names, fakes spread across more than one platform, and brand accounts scamming your customers. Those cases need identity evidence, the right legal channel and persistent escalation, and that is what the $7,700 per account covers. You pay only when it's removed.

Questions
Report it from the profile: open the menu, choose Report, and select the option for an account pretending to be you. If you don't have an Instagram account, or the in-app report fails, use Instagram's impersonation form in its Help Center, which asks for a photo of your ID. Warn your followers from your real account in the meantime.
Open the profile, use the menu next to the cover photo to report it, and choose the option for someone pretending to be you. Facebook also offers an impersonation form for people without an account. If the profile is fake but isn't using your identity, report it as a fake account instead — a different policy with a different reviewer.
A clear in-app report can be decided within days, but rejected reports and escalations take longer. Our typical timeline is 5–10 days from filing, because identity checks and legal notices involve more review.
Breaking a platform's rules isn't necessarily a crime, but impersonation used to defraud, harass or threaten someone can be. Several US states, including California and Texas, have online impersonation laws, and fraud and harassment laws apply in most countries. If someone is using your identity to commit fraud, report it to the police as well.
Platforms won't tell you, and identifying the person generally requires a court order directing the platform to disclose account data. We don't unmask accounts or use tracing tools; we remove the account through lawful channels. If you need to identify the person for a lawsuit or police report, speak to a lawyer or the police.
Platforms prohibit creating new accounts to get around enforcement, so report each new one with links to the accounts already removed. A documented history makes each report easier to decide and supports a legal notice if it continues. We take repeat patterns into account when we assess the case.
