A strange one, not your average UKBF thread

Yesterday a friend of mine was made aware that some extremely explicit pictures and videos of her have been posted to a website. Not just posted but an actual profile passing off as her created. The website is a sort of budget Only fans

As you can imagine she is very distressed. I can't see anywhere on the site to report a page, post, picture or video. I can't find any contact details than a Gmail address (which we have emailed) and can't find anything from WhoIs other than the site is hosted with CloudFare

Of course we know who has done it as they are the only ones who had the pictures. The police will be involved. She's somewhat in the public eye so is apprehensive about contacting them Incase anything comes out publicly

Can anyone suggest/help/advise if there is anything else I can do to identify who owns the site so we can make contact and demand they remove it all

The police should have been the first call and they'll have the perp down the station very quickly.

Even if you knew who owned the site, I can only think they'd advise you contact the account holder. You can't have randomers calling up and getting access to pull content down.

I agree, we insisted she contact them straight away but she wouldn't

My thinking was if the actual person who has had a profile created in their name and with their facial images is making contact with the company then they surely have to instantly remove it the second they are made aware it's a fraudulent profile

It would just tell the guilty party that they've caused the sort of anguish that they'd hoped for. TBH it doesn't sound like the sort of site that would care whether the profile is genuine or not. If they did, the site would have ownership and contact details clearly available.

I sense you're right. Just been reading some horror reviews of similar instances.

Well its not often I am shocked in a good way but the email to gmail address has prompted them to remove it straight away
