A creator filming content on their phone at home

Someone could be scamming your followers in your name.

In our August scan, 44 of 184 creators had a live fake account. We find the ones using your name or photos on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube, and file the reports to get them taken down.

Process

How it works.

We scan your accounts

We check Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more for accounts using your name, handle, or your photos.

You get results by email

A real person reviews what we find and emails you the results, usually within a day.

We file the takedowns: $179, once

If a fake is live, we file the reports as your authorized representative and confirm when it’s down; any fake still up after 30 days is refunded. What the $179 covers, or plans from $25 a month to keep watching.

Who this protects

Built for people whose account is their income.

If you post content for a living, a clone wearing your face scams the followers you earned — and every one of them blames you. See how we protect creators.

If brand deals or a paid community are part of your income, a fake page messaging your audience costs you their trust.

And if you’re not a public figure at all, your name and photos can still end up on a fake profile. You don’t need a following to be a target.

Your dashboard

One place to see everything we’re watching.

Every monitored account, every alert, and every takedown — from your phone or your computer.
