Phishing & Account Takeovers: The #1 Way Creators Lose Everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Phishing attacks are still the most common \u2013 and most devastating \u2013 scam hitting OnlyFans creators in 2025. Scammers aren\u2019t hacking your account by brute force. They\u2019re tricking you into giving them the keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It usually starts with something seemingly legit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- An email that looks like it\u2019s from OnlyFans Support asking you to \u201cverify your identity\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A DM saying your account has been flagged for \u201ccopyright issues\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A collab invite from someone pretending to be a fellow creator or agency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
But the links? Fake. The websites? Designed to look like OnlyFans but built to steal your login info. And once scammers get your password, they log in, change the email, lock you out, and either drain your balance or post shady content under your name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Protect Yourself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Turn on 2FA.<\/strong> It\u2019s not optional. Use it for your OnlyFans account AND your email.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Don\u2019t click sketchy links.<\/strong> Go directly to onlyfans.com in your browser instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Never share your login.<\/strong> Not with \u201cmanagers\u201d, not with \u201csupport\u201d, not with \u201ccollab agents\u201d. Ever.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Double-check sender emails.<\/strong> Real OnlyFans messages come from official domains \u2013 no random Gmail accounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use a password manager.<\/strong> Generate long, unique passwords and update them every few months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pro Tip:<\/strong> Some scammers will even pose as fans offering big tips \u2013 and then casually ask for your \u201cCashApp\u201d or login to \u201csubscribe directly\u201d. Always keep your access info private, no matter how flattering or tempting the offer sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nChargebacks & Payment Fraud: When Fans Steal Your Content and Your Money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s the harsh truth about chargebacks in 2025: some \u201cfans\u201d will pay for your content, consume it, and then take the money back. And when they do, OnlyFans pulls the funds from your account<\/strong> \u2013 not theirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creators across the board are reporting spikes in refund fraud this year. It usually goes like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- A fan pays for custom content, PPV, or tips big during a live.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You deliver what you promised.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A few days later, you notice the balance missing \u2013 because the fan disputed the charge as \u201cunauthorized\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You lose the money, they keep the content, and OnlyFans doesn\u2019t cover the loss.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Why It Hurts So Much<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Chargebacks bypass OnlyFans policies \u2013 they\u2019re handled by banks, who usually side with the buyer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can submit evidence (screenshots, receipts, DMs), but outcomes are inconsistent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Even loyal subscribers can pull this stunt. Some creators see it after free trials expire.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- It can happen weeks after the content is delivered, making it even harder to fight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Red Flags to Watch<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Big spenders who suddenly tip a lot or buy bulk PPVs on day one<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fans who request custom content but are new or have no profile photo<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Users who block you right after a purchase<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Disputes that hit shortly after paid DMs or trial conversions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How to Protect Yourself<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Never deliver content before verified payment.<\/strong> Wait until it\u2019s cleared in your OnlyFans balance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Ask for 50% upfront<\/strong> for expensive customs \u2013 especially with new clients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Document everything.<\/strong> Keep DMs, transaction IDs, and timestamps for proof.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Challenge every chargeback.<\/strong> Submit detailed evidence through the platform. Even if you don\u2019t win, it builds a record.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Avoid off-platform payments.<\/strong> CashApp, PayPal, Venmo = no recourse. Stick to OnlyFans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Bonus Tip:<\/strong> Some creators now watermark custom content with the fan\u2019s username. It not only discourages leaks, but also helps prove who requested and received the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Impersonation Scams: Fake Profiles That Steal Your Identity (and Your Fans)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Imagine this: someone takes your name, your bio, your social links, and even your profile photo \u2013 and launches a fake OnlyFans account pretending to be you. It happens more than you think. And in 2025, it\u2019s becoming one of the fastest-growing scam tactics on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How This Scam Works<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Scammers copy your branding from Instagram, TikTok, or your actual OnlyFans page<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They create a new account with a similar name (e.g. @yourusername_<\/em> instead of @yourusername<\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They start promoting \u201cexclusive content\u201d or discounts to your fans<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They may DM your followers or post links in comments to lure traffic to their fake profile<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Some even go as far as pretending to be your backup account<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The result? Your fans send money thinking it\u2019s you, you lose income and credibility, and reporting the fake can take days \u2013 if not weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Creators Are Prime Targets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Your face and name are public<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Most fans don\u2019t double-check usernames<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Scammers capitalize on fast-paced promo drops and \u201climited time\u201d urgency<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Verified badges are still not universally understood by fans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How to Defend Your Brand<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Watermark all your content.<\/strong> Put your @handle<\/em> or logo in every image\/video. It discourages theft and proves ownership.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use verification.<\/strong> OnlyFans offers verified creator badges \u2013 activate it and tell fans to always check for it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Claim your name on socials.<\/strong> Even if you don\u2019t use every platform, grab the handle to avoid others impersonating you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Link all official accounts in your bio.<\/strong> Your Instagram, TikTok, X\/Twitter, and OnlyFans should all point to each other.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do regular searches.<\/strong> Google your name, reverse image search your profile photo, and look for duplicates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If you find a fake, report it immediately to OnlyFans support<\/strong> and provide links, screenshots, and proof that the content is yours. The sooner you act, the more fans you save from being misled \u2013 and the faster you stop stolen revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creator Tip:<\/strong> Let your fans know this can happen. A pinned tweet or story warning them about impersonators goes a long way in keeping your audience sharp and loyal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nPromotion & Management Scams: \u201cWe\u2019ll Make You Rich\u201d (Until They Wreck Your Account)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re an OnlyFans creator in 2025, chances are high you’ve been DMed by someone claiming they can \u201cskyrocket your earnings\u201d. They promise growth, subscribers, promo boosts \u2013 sometimes even guaranteed income. Some pitch themselves as agencies, others as managers or \u201cgrowth experts\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here\u2019s the catch: a huge number of these offers are scams<\/strong> designed to steal your money, lock you into shady contracts, or take over your account entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How These Scams Usually Play Out<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- A promoter slides into your DMs (on Instagram, X, or even OnlyFans) with stats and charts<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They say they manage \u201c7-figure creators\u201d or \u201ctop 0.01% earners\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They offer to \u201chandle your posting schedule, marketing, fan engagement\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- All they need? Full access to your account<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You give access (or sign a contract) \u2013 and suddenly you\u2019re locked out, being extorted, or seeing mystery charges pull from your payouts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Other times, it\u2019s not an outright hack \u2013 but a predatory contract trap<\/strong>. Creators have reported signing \u201cpromo deals\u201d with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Auto-renewal clauses<\/strong> that are impossible to cancel<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Revenue share setups<\/strong> where they take 50%+ but do little or nothing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Hidden management fees<\/strong> deducted behind the scenes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Exclusivity terms<\/strong> that block you from switching platforms or agencies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Red Flags to Watch<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Promises like \u201cguaranteed income\u201d or \u201c10x in 30 days\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Asking for full login credentials (always a NO)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Rushed contracts with no legal review<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- No visible company, website, or team \u2013 just a Telegram handle<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Tons of stock photos or screenshots of Stripe balances as \u201cproof\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How to Protect Yourself<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Never give out your login.<\/strong> If someone needs access, use OnlyFans\u2019 Manager Permissions<\/strong> feature \u2013 it lets them help without compromising your account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Read every contract.<\/strong> Have a lawyer or legal expert look it over before signing anything. If it feels rushed, pressured, or vague \u2013 walk away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Don\u2019t pay upfront.<\/strong> Legit managers usually take commission after results, not before.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Ask for receipts.<\/strong> Real agencies have testimonials, portfolios, and clients you can verify.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Stay in control.<\/strong> Your content, your brand, your voice. No \u201cmanager\u201d should be posting or messaging fans without your approval.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Creator to Creator:<\/strong> There are good agencies out there. But the scammers rely on your excitement, burnout, or desperation to push you into fast decisions. Take your time. Vet every offer. And remember \u2013 if they\u2019re legit, they won\u2019t mind being asked tough questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social Engineering & Fake Fan Scams: When the \u201cNice Ones\u201d Scam You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Not all scams show up as aggressive DMs or fake emails. Some sneak in wearing a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2025, a rising number of scams come from so-called fans who emotionally manipulate creators<\/strong>, pretend to be loyal clients, or even pose as other creators \u2013 just to get free content, avoid paying, or worse, pull you into deeper traps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Most Common Manipulation-Based Scams<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
1. Custom Content, No Payment<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
A \u201cfan\u201d requests a personalized video or voice note. They want something detailed, niche, maybe even time-sensitive. They promise to pay once they get it \u2013 or show you a fake PayPal or OF screenshot to make you trust them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then: radio silence. You\u2019ve wasted time and energy for $0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Romance\/Emotional Baiting<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
They don\u2019t come as fans \u2013 they come as admirers. \u201cI really connect with you.\u201d \u201cYou’re different from other creators.\u201d \u201cI want something real.\u201d
Fast-forward a few weeks and they\u2019re asking for your number, gifts, or help with their rent. It\u2019s the classic romance scam in adult creator clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n3. \u201cFellow Creators\u201d Offering Collabs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Someone pretends to be a creator wanting to do a collab or shoutout swap \u2013 often through Instagram or Telegram. But it turns out they\u2019re fake, and once you share assets or login details, they ghost (or worse, exploit your info).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Guilt-Based Freebie Requests<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Some people beg for content, drop sob stories, or claim they\u2019re your \u201cbiggest fan\u201d but can\u2019t afford a subscription. Some even say they\u2019ve \u201calready paid\u201d but had \u201ctech issues\u201d. It seems harmless \u2013 until it adds up and erodes your boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Protect Yourself (Without Losing Your Humanity)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- No pay, no play.<\/strong> Always confirm payment inside OnlyFans before delivering anything custom. Screenshots mean nothing \u2013 check your balance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Stick to your policies.<\/strong> If you don\u2019t do freebies or customs without upfront payment, don\u2019t bend \u2013 even if the story is emotional.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use pay-to-open messages.<\/strong> OnlyFans lets you attach content to DMs and set a price. That way, no one can view without paying first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Verify other creators.<\/strong> Before doing collabs or cross-promos, confirm identities on multiple platforms. Don\u2019t share content or files until trust is earned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Set clear emotional boundaries.<\/strong> You\u2019re not cold \u2013 you\u2019re professional. You\u2019re not obligated to engage in emotional labor or romantic-style chats with subscribers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Creator Tip:<\/strong> It\u2019s okay to care about your fans. Just remember that your time, labor, and emotional energy have value. Scammers often test your generosity first \u2013 protect it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nContent Theft & Privacy Risks: When Your Work (and Identity) Gets Hijacked<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You put hours into your content \u2013 planning, filming, editing, branding. But with one screen recording or download, a scammer can steal it and repost it without your consent. Even worse, some doxx you, leak your info, or threaten to expose your identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2025, content theft and privacy violations are still major threats<\/strong> to creators on OnlyFans \u2013 especially those working in adult spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Many Ways Your Content Gets Stolen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Screen recordings:<\/strong> Despite OF\u2019s protection features, fans can still use third-party software to capture your videos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Screenshots of PPV or DMs:<\/strong> Some subscribers pay once, save everything, and then vanish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Reddit\/Telegram leaks:<\/strong> Your premium content winds up in a leak thread or \u201cmega\u201d folder circulating for free.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Impersonators reselling content:<\/strong> Scammers clone your account and resell your posts as \u201cexclusive\u201d through a fake paywall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- AI voice\/image cloning (yes, really):<\/strong> We\u2019re seeing early signs of scammers using your face or voice to generate deepfake-style knockoffs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
And on the privacy side, some fans turn stalker. They dig through your metadata, social media breadcrumbs, or \u201coff-hand\u201d mentions \u2013 and use them to find your real name, address, or family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Guard Your Content & Identity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Watermark everything.<\/strong> Add your @handle<\/em> or brand name to all photos and videos. Position it where it can\u2019t be easily cropped.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use OF\u2019s security features.<\/strong> Enable screen recording\/screenshot blocking on streams. Set DM expiration dates for sensitive content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Reverse search your content.<\/strong> Use tools like Google Reverse Image Search or platforms like Hive\/OnlyLeaks to monitor reposts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Register copyright.<\/strong> For high-value content, registering it (especially in the U.S.) gives you legal ammo for takedowns and lawsuits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Report leaks fast.<\/strong> If your content surfaces elsewhere, file a DMCA takedown immediately. OF can assist, but you can also go direct to Reddit\/Telegram admins or hosting services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Protect personal data.<\/strong> Never show your location, real name, or license plates in content. Turn off geotags. Use a PO Box and business email when possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Get a VPN and antivirus.<\/strong> VPNs help mask your location; antivirus tools flag malware that could expose your files.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Creator Reminder:<\/strong> Your content isn\u2019t \u201cjust photos\u201d. It\u2019s intellectual property. You have the right to control where it goes \u2013 and fight back if it\u2019s stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prevention Checklist: Scam-Proofing Your Creator Business in 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pro Tip: <\/strong>Make this list part of your monthly creator routine. Just like content planning or budgeting \u2013 safety is part of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
