Hundreds of accounts impersonated an OnlyFans star - and a fan lost a fortune

Canadian OnlyFans star Cissy Rose, 27, from Toronto, revealed that hundreds of fake accounts are impersonating her and conducting fake romantic relationships with fans to extort money. One fan lost $80,000 after being cleaned out of his bank account by an impostor. Her team identified 371 fake accounts, and she hired security teams to remove them. Rose said the scammers use a similar method: they open fake accounts on Instagram and TikTok, use her photos and videos to build trust, and move conversations to messaging apps like Telegram, WhatsApp, and Zangi. She fears the growing use of AI will make it even harder to identify impostors. According to the US Federal Trade Commission, Americans reported losses of about $3.5 billion from impersonation scams in 2025. Rose emphasizes she would never ask her followers for money.
