Flagged My Online Impersonator
Someone tried using my name and photos to commit fraud online. With Profiled Nigeria, I verified the fake account, flagged the impersonation, and protected my digital identity within minutes. Now I track my online presence confidently.
How It Started: It began with a friend sending me screenshots of a fake profile using my pictures and name to solicit money from people. At first, I thought it was a prank until I saw that the impersonator had copied my bio and even used my business logo. Panic set in when a client messaged me, asking if I’d changed my account. The Problem: The impersonator was already chatting with several people, pretending to be me. My credibility was at stake - one wrong move from them could destroy the trust I had built with clients and colleagues. Reporting it directly to the social platform wasn’t yielding results fast enough, and I needed a way to prove my identity and flag the fake account immediately.
How I Talked to Profiled Nigeria: I visited www.profiled.ng and used the Identity Verification feature to confirm my real profile. Then I contacted the Profiled support team through email, explaining the impersonation case and sharing links to the fake account. Within a short time, they verified my identity, flagged the fraudulent profile, and logged the impersonation in their digital safety database for monitoring. How Profiled Detected and Neutralized the Scammer: Profiled’s verification tool cross-checked my authentic online profiles with the fake account. Their system detected multiple inconsistencies in metadata, registration records, and usage patterns. The impersonator’s profile was flagged as “Fraudulent - Identity Misuse.” The Profiled team then reported the impersonator through their trusted network of digital safety partners, leading to the swift removal of the fake profile. They also set up a Digital Footprint Monitoring Alert for me, so I now receive notifications if anyone tries to use my name or likeness again. Caption from Profiled Detected and Neutralized the Scammer: Profiled verified my identity, flagged the fake account, and stopped the impersonation before it caused real damage. Conclusion: The experience was terrifying at first, but Profiled turned it into empowerment. I no longer feel helpless about online impersonation. Knowing that my name and identity are monitored gives me peace of mind in an unpredictable digital world.
