FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you help remove a fake Instagram account?
We can document the account and submit the appropriate impersonation, trademark, copyright, or fraud report depending on the facts and available evidence.
What if the profile is using my logo but not my exact name?
We can still review it. The right enforcement path depends on how the profile uses your brand assets and whether the platform recognizes the evidence.
