What to do when someone creates or uses an account pretending to be you.
Short answer
Save evidence of the impersonation, report the fake account through the platform's official process, and secure your genuine accounts in case information was used to create it.
Take screenshots and save the profile URL, username, messages, and dates before the account disappears.
Report the impersonating account through the platform's official reporting process.
Secure your genuine accounts with unique passwords and multi-factor authentication.

You've discovered a fake profile, account, or message pretending to be you — often used to scam your friends, family, or contacts.
If your personal information has been exposed, work out exactly what information was shared, secure affected accounts, watch for suspicious activity and avoid giving the same information to anyone who contacts you unexpectedly.
If you see activity you don't recognise, secure the affected account directly, change the password, enable MFA, review recent activity and linked devices, and contact the provider if necessary.
