A perpetrator who developed an apparent romantic relationship with you online has now produced AI deepfake intimate imagery and is using it for extortion. The romance scam is itself a federal wire fraud violation in addition to the sextortion conduct. Bing is a search platform with approximately 1200 million monthly users. Bing typically responds to NCII notices in under 24 hours. Files NCII removal requests with Google and Bing to remove the deepfake URLs from search results. Search engine deindexing is independent of source platform removal and addresses cached thumbnails and snippets that persist after source removal.
Why this matters for romance scam deepfake on Bing
- Romance scam operations have integrated AI deepfake generation to escalate from financial fraud to extortion. The perpetrator obtains photographs during the relationship development phase that are then used as input to deepfake tools.
- Bing serves as the search backend for Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and ChatGPT Search. A single successful removal at Bing propagates to multiple downstream search surfaces.
- Sextortion operations are organized commercial activities with playbooks, not isolated incidents. Disrupting a single distribution point produces predictable counter responses including new accounts, additional content production, and broader threat escalation.
- Search platform distribution is the primary cause of long term professional reputation harm and requires its own separate removal track regardless of source platform action.
- Romance scam followed by deepfake extortion produces a strong federal case because the wire fraud and the sextortion are independently chargeable and the chat history provides extensive intent evidence. This is particularly relevant when the action you are pursuing is search deindex, because always run in parallel to platform removal. search engine cached content can persist for weeks after source removal, which extends the harm window if not separately addressed.

Frequently asked questions
Will paying the sextortion demand make it stop?
Documented data from FBI investigations shows that payment confirms ability to pay and produces escalating demands in over 80 percent of cases. Payment also creates additional financial evidence that the perpetrator can weaponize. Do not pay under any circumstances and file the IC3 report immediately.
How long will Bing actually take to remove the deepfake content?
Bing typically responds in approximately 16 hours when a properly formatted statutory notice is filed. ScanErase files the notice within 5 minutes of authorization and tracks compliance through your Verified Removal Package.
How long does Google typically take to deindex deepfake URLs?
Google NCII removal requests typically process within 5 to 14 days for compliant submissions. Bing follows a similar timeline. The deindex action removes the URL from search results but does not affect the source platform, which is why parallel platform takedown is essential.
What if the perpetrator re uploads the deepfake to Bing after removal?
Bing retains hash signatures of removed NCII content which prevents identical re uploads to the same platform. A follow-up ScanErase scan checks for re uploads across all 200 plus indexed platforms, including AI generated variant versions, so you can file a new notice as soon as matches reappear.
Will the search deindex action reveal my identity to Bing or the perpetrator?
Removal of the deepfake URLs from Google and Bing search results, prevention of further indexing of cached or thumbnail copies, reduced search visibility of the content even where source platform removal is delayed. The disclosure scope is limited to what the action requires. Your scan and removal process is not disclosed to employers, family, or any third parties beyond the recipients required by the specific legal procedure.
I searched the person i was dating online is now blackmailing me with deepfakes and found this guide. What is the very first thing I should do right now?
Before any other action, forensically preserve the evidence with full page screenshots and the highest resolution file copies you can obtain. Do not delete the chat history with the perpetrator even if you feel embarrassment about the romance scam. The complete history is the strongest evidence for both the wire fraud and the sextortion charges. Once evidence is preserved, the Bing takedown notice and the search deindex action can proceed in parallel.
