How do I get rid of someone who made a fake Instagram account using photos stolen from my MM portfolio?

Paulina Lugiana is the Instagram handle, a fake name.

Please help

More about the man in Bali who stole my photos from my MM port.

He renamed me Paulina Lugiana and used my nudes to trade for access to Onlyfans content which is banned in Bali as are all pornography sites. Credit card transactions for porn are also banned.

This causes the value of our freely available nudes to increase in that country, Indonesia and Twitter becomes their only outlet. IG will not tolerate porn or even a nipple showing.

This thief can be found using the following Twitter and IG handles.

I'm sorry, but there is not much you can really do about this except keep reporting the images as stolen on the platforms you find them.   It's frustrating I'm sure, but you will not be able to wipe the hard drives of the computers that your images are currently on.  If those images are illegal in Indonesia, then they are taking a huge chance with the law.  As for getting money, it's doubtful that they are getting wealthy off of black marketing nudes.  It might cost you far more time and money trying to track them down and punish them than it is worth.  Be careful what you post!  Modelmayhem does not do a good job of protecting images from "click and save" ... that's for sure!  Keep your posted images low res, and small as that deters those who steal images.  Most of all, don't post anything on Modelmayhem if you are not willing to risk it getting stolen.

Best wishes!

I had a similar problem last year, in that one of my models had discovered a fake instagram site claiming to be her and using my photos of her.

She received no assistance whatsoever from instagram because she was not the copyright holder, so she contacted me.

I eventually succeeded in having instagram remove the photos, but it took three submissions to instagram and way too many hoops to jump through.

My takeaway was that instagram will attend to copyright breaches only grudgingly.
