Stolen photos and catfishes

Jump to newest

So, this isn’t the first time happening to me, and I’ve had some guys contacting me saying they been talking to me on other platforms and they either had people promise a threesome with me (errr deffo not as in, I’d have arranged it myself I wanted one?) or that I had arranged to meet them and they went over and guess what. They got the block when they got there. And I had to deal with pissed off guys and apologise saying I’m sorry but deffo wasn’t me.

I mean, why would anyone use photos that don’t belong to them is beyond me!! It is kinda scary and super creepy and sad! Even more so when you have to justify yourself and say… you been catfished!

Has this happened to you and how did you deal with the situation?

Also as a disclaimer it all happens in other platforms that I won’t mention but you can imagine which.

If you overlay your photos with a semi opaque watermark it should help prevent such things.

I might have to start watermarking pics

If you do watermark it then make sure it's over an area that can't be cropped without ruining the image.

You don't have to screenshot them. If you hold your finger on any pic you can download it.

I had my pics and my entire bio stolen 3 times last year. I never would have known anything about it until they started messaging people that knew me.

None of these were new profiles but existing profiles who decided their best approach was to take someone else's details and use them as their own.

One profile sent my pics along with their messages despite the fact my name was all over them and when called out on it became very abusive.

Despite reporting, this profile continued after reverting to their original profile and carried on posting in the forums.

Some people told me I should be flattered but why should I be when they were lazy at best and abusive at their worst?

happens to a lot of forumites, and myself, all the time.

pretty pointless when most of us have our profile name on our pictures.. So when profile 'iwantdicknow' pops up with a picture of my tits with 'quack' written on them.. its a little sus

Just report to admin, and they soon get rid of them.

also had my stuff taken from here and put on other sites.. just emailed the 'help' pages of the relevant sites with some under/age excuse or revenge porn or posting without consent.. and they soon get removed too.

Just part and parcel of this lifestyle. if we want to post things, it's going to happen because people are insane Px

Set up two companies

One as a media company and one as a distributors company anyone can for a small fee to the government

Next make invoice and emails bween both companies

Agreeing to the rights to distribute your pics

And pay your media company from your disturbance company you not be lose any money as your paying your self

But what it will allow you to do is show lost revenue

Have your fab profile and what not else registered in your disturbing company as a list off places that they can distribute your pics

Now when someone steals your pics you now have legal rights to go after them for lost revenue from your media company as they don’t have the rights to distribute your pics

If the disturbance contact is in the millions you can bankrupt someone very quickly

Well I can’t do the reporting because these people got catfished on other apps like the one beginning with T x no names!!

So they must have got to quite an extent …

I had my pictures pinched a few times. I would be more than happy if they paid me to use them

In my relatively short time here I've noticed there's a lot of spam accounts where at the bottom they always say something cookie cutter like 'Im a whatever year old straight woman looking for men'

Also accounts that say they have no tattoos then the 1 public pic has the most blatant tattoo ever.

I'd be honoured if someone deemed my photos worthy enough to make a fake profile

Easiest way to stop them stealing the photos.. Don't put the watermark where it can be cropped off tho... I use snapseed to do mine (free/easy)
