• You send a message in a group chat with your friends explaining what’s happening. You tell them NOT to respond to any weird messages because it’s NOT really you. You also ask them to report the fake profile.
  • A few of your friends had JUST received a message from the account asking for their personal details. Thanks to you, they know NOT to respond!
  • A bunch of your friends report the profile as fake. With multiple reports, the platform takes it down faster!
  • 🎉 Great move! You acted quickly to prevent any damage!
  • 🤔 Lesson: The sooner you act, the better. It’s important to both report the account and warn your friends. Asking others to report the account can also speed up the process.
