An account on X that copies your brand's name, logo, or profile image outright — especially one that purchases a "blue check" to appear more credible — has become an increasingly common problem in recent years.
Step-by-step account reporting process
- Go to the fake account's profile and select "Report" from the three-dot menu
- Choose the reason "It's impersonating me or someone else"
- For corporate brand impersonation, submit your official registration details through X's separate trademark violation complaint form
Why do paid verification badges increase the risk?
Paid verification badges on X can make fake accounts appear more trustworthy to users. This increases the risk that an account impersonating your brand gets confused with your real account — making early detection even more important.
Achernar's Fake Account Tracking service continuously monitors social media platforms, including X, for accounts impersonating your brand.
