A fake OnlyFans using your photos: how to get it taken down

1. Work out what you've found

2. Save evidence, and don't pay

1. Copy the exact URL of the profile on the subscription site, its username, and the URL of every account promoting it, including any link-in-bio page.
2. Take dated screenshots showing the username, profile picture and bio.
3. Don't subscribe or pay to "check": the public profile page is enough to report. Don't message the account.
4. Keep the originals of your photos: they show the images are yours (and that you own the copyright if they're selfies).
5. If friends or followers tip you off, ask for a screenshot and the link.

3. Report the account to OnlyFans

1. From the profile, use the platform's report option and pick the most specific reason (impersonation, content posted without consent).
2. Then contact OnlyFans support through the contact form or support address listed on the site. OnlyFans has a Complaints Policy, linked from its Terms of Service and Transparency Center, and says non-users can report content too.
3. Your main argument: you're the person shown, you never created the account and never consented. OnlyFans says it verifies every creator's identity and checks that people appearing in content have consented, so an account using your image without you breaks its rules. Give the profile URL and offer ID, sent only through the official channel.
4. If you took the photos yourself, you can also file a copyright (DMCA) takedown under the procedure in OnlyFans' terms. Your name may be passed on to the account holder.
5. For an intimate image, real or AI-made, you can create a hash on StopNCII.org if you're over 18: the image never leaves your device, and OnlyFans is one of the partner platforms that use those hashes to block uploads. Under 18? Use Take It Down and see our under-18 page.

4. Fansly and MYM

1. Report the profile on the platform, then contact support from the help center with the URL and screenshots.
2. If the photos are your selfies, add a copyright takedown request.
3. For intimate images, including AI fakes, say so explicitly: under the TAKE IT DOWN Act, covered platforms must remove them within 48 hours of a valid request, and you can report a platform that doesn't at TakeItDown.ftc.gov. MYM is a French platform, so EU rules (the Digital Services Act) also require it to offer a notice-and-action process.

5. Shut down the promo accounts

The fake paid profile lives off its promo accounts. Take those down too, or a new link appears.

1. Instagram: use the "Report an Impersonation Account" form, which works without an account and asks for ID. Steps in our fake Instagram account guide.
2. TikTok: report the account for impersonation in the app or through TikTok's online form. See fake TikTok account.
3. X, Reddit, Telegram and others: report the account for impersonation, and each post that uses your photos.
4. The link-in-bio page: these services usually have an abuse report form. Report the page that points to the fake profile.
5. Tell your circle and your audience from your real accounts: "I don't have an OnlyFans. Any account in my name is fake, don't pay."

6. Clean up Google

Even after the accounts are gone, pages can linger in results. Google has a form to remove personal sexual content, which covers fake or AI-generated sexual images of you and cases where your name or image is wrongly tied to porn sites. Google only removes the search result, so removal at the source is still needed. Details in remove a Google result.

7. If they're AI-generated nudes

A fake image isn't a harmless one. In the US, the TAKE IT DOWN Act makes it a federal crime to knowingly publish nonconsensual intimate images, including digital forgeries, and many states have their own laws. In the UK, sharing an intimate image without consent, including one that only appears to show you, is an offence under section 66B of the Sexual Offences Act 2003. See our fake nude guide.

8. Police and legal options

A good report often gets the account closed. Police reports matter when money is involved, when someone threatens you, or when you want the person behind it identified (sometimes it's someone you know). In the US, report online crime to the FBI's IC3; some states, such as California, also make online impersonation a crime. In the UK, contact your local police (101) or Report Fraud if it's a scam. If someone is demanding money or threatening you, follow our sextortion guide. For lawsuits or damages, talk to a lawyer: this page is general information, not legal advice.
