Someone keeps impersonating me online for 5 years — ruining my reputation.
Hi everyone, I really need advice and awareness on this.
For the past five years, someone has been impersonating me online, creating fake Instagram, Telegram, Snapchat, and WhatsApp accounts using my photos and name. This person messages my acquaintances pretending to be me, and sometimes even impersonates people I know to trick me into conversations.
They never ask for money. Their goal seems to be destroying my reputation, making me look like a flirt or a “slut.” I’ve had ex-colleagues and friends contact me to “verify” messages from fake accounts claiming to be me. It’s embarrassing and mentally draining.
There was even one time the impersonator managed to trick both me and my sister. They talked to her on Telegram as “me,” and to me on Snapchat as “her.” We only realised what was happening when we compared chats in person.
I’ve done everything I can think of:
- Lodged a police report, but was told to go back to my hometown to file again since the person I suspect is based there (I rarely go back).
- Used the report to contact MCMC, but was told to report directly to each platform.
- Repeatedly reported the fake accounts on Instagram, even submitted my selfie with IC for verification, but they replied that the reported account “did not violate” their policy.
- After so many reports, I even got warned by Instagram for reporting too often.
At this point, I’m just exhausted and confused. It’s been 5 years!! How can someone stay so persistent in doing this? What drives a person to spend years impersonating someone who’s not even a public figure? Is it revenge? Obsession? Stalking?
I’m not a bully, and I’m not some kind of influencer or celebrity either, lol. I’m just a normal person who wants my peace back.
Thank you for reading. I’m tired and just want this to stop for good. Drop down your advice. Should I just ignore and live my damn life or take action that I honestly have no time to deal with it.
TL;DR:
Someone’s been impersonating me online for 5 years using my photos and name. Authorities and platforms haven’t helped. Just want public opinions on how to deal with this.
