All situationsCase type 01
Content or account removal
Someone is using my name, my face, or my footage.
A fake profile with your photographs. A video that was never meant to travel. An account answering messages in your name. It comes down on grounds the platform has to act on, it is watched so it stays down, and the request goes out under my name, not yours.
Most of my cases come from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. I work in your time zone, in Arabic or English.

01The file
What this is
Impersonation, or footage used against you. A fake account built from your name and your photographs, or a video circulating without your consent, posted to embarrass, pressure, or mislead. Taken on where the grounds are clear and documented, never to settle a disagreement or silence someone's right to speak.
What I do
Removed outright, not flagged and left pending, then watched afterwards, so if it resurfaces it comes down again before you have to notice. The request goes out under my name, not yours. Where a report type requires the rights holder to be named, I tell you before anything is filed. I start on these the day they arrive, and you will know the moment it is done.

02Process
How a case runs.
Four stages, the same every time, so you always know where your case stands, and you never have to chase.
-
Request
The links, the grounds, and what you have already tried. One message is enough to begin.
-
Assessment
Whether it can be done, what it costs, and what a realistic outcome looks like, in writing, before anything starts.
-
Execution
Carried out without you needing to check in. You hear from me when there is something to report.
-
Completion
A verified result, and how to stop it coming back.
03Questions
What people ask about this case.
The ones people ask before they write about this in particular. The general questions are on the main page.
Usually, yes. Most reports fail because they are filed under the wrong category, without the evidence the reviewer needs, or from the account of the person being impersonated, which some platforms treat as a dispute rather than a violation. I file under the right route, with the documentation attached, from my side. If the grounds are genuinely not there, I tell you that before you pay.
You need to establish that you are you, which a document or a verified account usually does, and to show me the impersonation. I never ask for your passwords, and nothing you send is kept after the case closes.
That is why the case does not end at the takedown. I keep watching the platforms where it appeared, and a copy or a new account is reported the moment it surfaces, before you have to notice it. Repeat offenders can also be pursued at the platform level, which is harder for them to walk around.
Scope and price are agreed in writing before anything starts, and both depend on the case. You send the details, you get a figure back and a written read of what is realistic. No open-ended retainers, no sales call.
