Remove a fake Tinder profile or leaked dating screenshots

Three problems that start on Tinder

• A fake profile with your photos. Pictures taken from your Instagram or Facebook are used to catfish people or to run a love scam. Victims who lost money may then blame you. Police counted 978 love scam cases in Malaysia between January and November 2025.
• Your profile or chats posted as an “exposé”. A match screenshots your profile, your messages or your first name and workplace, and shares them in a Facebook group, a TikTok video or a forum thread, sometimes with your IC or phone number.
• Photos exchanged after a match. A private photo sent to a match is used to threaten you, usually after the conversation moves to WhatsApp or Telegram. Do not pay: read sextortion help first.

Tinder’s own reporting tools

Tinder lets you report a profile before a match (open the profile, tap the three dots, then Report) and after a match (from the chat screen, through the three dots or the shield icon). If the person unmatched you, the profile disappears from your list, but Tinder still accepts a report through its online help centre, with the name, age, bio and screenshots of the profile. Its help centre also has a dedicated route for intimate images shared without consent.

One point Malaysians should know: Tinder is not among the platforms licensed or deemed registered under the Online Safety Act 2025, so the 1-hour acknowledgement and 12-hour assessment deadlines do not bind it. MCMC still accepts complaints about harmful content on unlicensed services through aduan.mcmc.gov.my and can order removal or blocking, but no fixed response deadline applies.

Free routes to use alongside us

• MCMC at aduan.mcmc.gov.my for harassment or intimate images; any user may report, so we can file it for you

What NetClearer does

1. Free assessment. Send us the profile screenshots and the links where your photos or chats appear. We tell you what can be removed and the price before you pay.
2. Impersonation report to Tinder. We prepare it with proof that the photos are yours (the original posts with their dates) and the details Tinder asks for. We never need your Tinder or Facebook password.
3. The copies outside Tinder. Exposé posts on Facebook and TikTok, forum threads on Lowyat or Reddit, and scam sites reusing your face: each is reported under its own privacy, harassment or impersonation rule.
4. Google. Image results and pages that pair your photo with your name are submitted to Google under its personal information and intimate imagery policies. Malaysia has no right to be forgotten; Google decides under its own rules.

Discretion first

Dating is private, and many clients fear their family, colleagues or kampung finding out. We never contact the person who made the profile, your matches, your employer or your relatives. The person behind a fake profile is not told who reported it. For a broader clean-up of profiles that copy you on several apps, see fake account removal, and compare the other platforms we work on.
