Frequently Asked Questions
Can you guarantee that a fake profile will be removed? [ANSWER ▾]
No. Platforms maintain absolute discretion under their Terms of Service to remove or retain accounts. We focus on preparing a comprehensive evidence package matching platform requirements to maximize speed and success.
Can you identify who created the fake profile? [ANSWER ▾]
Yes, where OSINT registers show public link associations, digital footprints, or matching username patterns across other platforms. However, anonymous profiles using VPNs cannot be identified with absolute certainty.
Can you help if there are multiple fake accounts? [ANSWER ▾]
Yes. We audit brand profiles continuously and can document, cross-reference, and report large networks of copycat profiles operated by scammers or competitors.
Will you contact the impersonator? [ANSWER ▾]
No. We never contact, message, or confront the operator of the fake profile. Direct contact often alerts them, causing them to block your real account or delete trace evidence.
How do I request Fake Profile Takedown services? [ANSWER ▾]
Contact Strike through our website, email, WhatsApp (+92 311 9253626), or Telegram. Provide the fake profile links, screenshots, details of the impersonation, and any supporting information. Our specialists will assess your case and recommend the most appropriate takedown strategy.
