Need Help – Fake WordPress Site Impersonating a Friend and Using His Images

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi everyone,

    I’m hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction. A fake WordPress site was created that’s impersonating my friend and using his photos without permission. The site’s content includes false and inflammatory statements that are damaging his reputation.

    It looks like the posts were backdated, but the page source shows they were recently edited, which makes it appear as if the content has existed longer than it really has. This situation has now caused serious personal and professional harm

    We’ve tried reporting it, but I’m unsure if there’s a specific process or form for cases involving impersonation, misuse of images, and defamation.

    Can anyone please advise the best next steps or how to escalate this with WordPress.com’s support team?

    Thank you so much for any guidance.
