      Probably somebody she knows usually a bully who doesn’t like her. She’s not the prettiest girl in the world to choose, somebody just has access to her Facebook/ig profile full of hundreds of pictures and wants to mess her life up. 

      Make your accounts private and don’t use your real identity on Facebook etc. There’s really no reason to have strangers on your friends list.

      It’ll be someone she knows for sure. Her biggest hater is wasting their limited time on Earth to do this. Some people lead sad lives. I’d be tempted to try to phish their account with an IP logger if this was done to me.

      Wtf! Wether or not she turns heads is not the focus, a person had their identity stolen and used in criminal activity that put her at risk, riiiiiiiight 🤦

      I’m a bit confused. That’s my girlfriend, Saskia. I just sent her £100 in Google play cards so she can get out of Gambia.

      I saw the writing on the wall years ago and scrubbed every photo of me off the internet when the first deepfake story broke out. Everyone should do the same.

      I had this happen nearly a decade ago when I used to create a certain kind of content for a living in uni. It’s really weird because people would add me and start talking about things like we were good friends with names I didn’t recognise and I’d be like „Huh?“

      Found the accounts a few times and reported them, but social media is useless at dealing with it. Wasn’t as traumatising for me as this lady thankfully because it was very small scale and not local, so I never had to deal with anyone in person. Was just very weird for me.

      I’ve also seen the same happen with my friend’s as well and it’s always funny to out the catfish and watch them panic. Just wish social media companies took it more seriously because there’s very little any of us can do about it until it gets very serious.

      Weird, she looks just like my long distance gf I’ve never met and send money to

      This is why we need clear and strong image ownership laws. Simply using her image without her consent should be illegal – at least using an image where she is the only person in it and she’s identifiable (I understand you still want to be able to take pictures in the street and so on).

      Hard to know whether it’s someone she knows deliberately targeting her for some reason, or a random fraudster who happened upon a pic of a pretty girl and wanted a fake identity to use. If it started when she was 16 and the posts have other aspects of her life in them then it’s probably the former, and the police really should investigate more strongly as that’s harassment at the very least.

      This happened to me twice and a few of my friends as well. It’s usually people from abroad using your pics to catfish men for money.

      Imagine being so attractive someone uses your photos to catfish people. Sigh.

      One of my friends found “me” on a dating app. It’s really unsettling when it happens.
      They’d literally used screenshots of my pictures and made a whole profile with them.
