I had a similar problem, except he raped a woman (convinced her to come to an address, come inside, all lights off, no talking). She contacted me via LinkedIn when he ghosted her. Got police involved but took 18 months to get all the information lined up from bumble and Snapchat (ie phone numbers etc). He was deported for domestic violence before they could arrest him.

Trying to get plenty of fish, bumble, tinder to respond was impossible.

Since there were very few photos of me publicly available online I feel I should be able to blacklist photos of me to these providers so people can’t use prepackaged profiles of me.

After he was deported, I was messaged by about 15 women in the US who were catfished by the same profile(s).

I feel there is some forum somewhere where people pass around these prepackaged profiles of people who they feel are good ‘candidates’ to impersonate.

Really disturbing

God, that's awful. Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry for you and especially the women involved.

It's horrible to think that my photos are being used for this and there's nothing I can do about it. Even if I cover myself legally, people are still going to be victimized. I hope I never have to involve the police.

This is nightmare fuel. I can’t even imagine what you’re going through.
