Tldr
A romance scammer has stolen your dating app photos and is using them to defraud third parties. Some scams attach AI generated intimate content to the stolen photos to create a more convincing identity package. Bing is a search platform with approximately 1200 million monthly users. Bing typically responds to NCII notices in under 24 hours. Removal from Bing is among the more straightforward processes. A single statutory notice is typically sufficient.
Why this happens on Bing
- Bing serves as the search backend for Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and ChatGPT Search. A single successful removal at Bing propagates to multiple downstream search surfaces.
- Romance scam operations source attractive real photos from public dating profiles, social media, and modeling sites to build fake identities. Operations are often industrial scale targeting hundreds of victims simultaneously.
- Scam operations occasionally generate AI intimate content using your face to deepen the fake identity. This content combines NCII targeting against you with fraud against the scam victims.
- Cross platform spread is the rule, not the exception. Content first appearing on Bing typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and screenshot redistribution.
The takedown process
What to do, step by step
-
01
Document every instance before reporting Capture full page screenshots with the URL bar visible, the posting account handle, and the upload timestamp. Your original dating app and social media photos with original publication dates
-
02
Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms Content first appearing on Bing rarely stays there. ScanErase indexes 2.4 billion face embeddings across 200 plus platforms and identifies every current hosting location in a single scan, including AI generated derivatives.
-
03
Dispatch the takedown notice to Bing Bing accepts NCII removal requests through Microsoft's content removal form. Approved requests result in deindexing from Bing Search and Bing Images, and the same removal also applies to Yahoo Search.
-
04
Report to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center File at ic3.gov immediately with full evidence of the scam communications. The FBI maintains active investigations against organized sextortion and romance scam rings and can coordinate with international law enforcement.
-
05
Deindex from search alongside source removal Search engine deindexing is independent of source removal. File the Bing NCII removal request even if the underlying source has been taken down, because cached and thumbnail copies persist on the search engine for weeks after the source is gone.
-
06
File a police report and preserve the legal record 47 USC 223a TAKE IT DOWN Act for any AI generated NCII content provides the federal basis for the takedown. Document every notice sent, every platform response, and every removal confirmation in a single evidence file. ScanErase produces this Verified Removal Package automatically as your case progresses.
Legal context
- Microsoft's NCII compliance is among the most consistent of any major platform. Bing removal also influences ChatGPT Search visibility because ChatGPT Search is powered by the Bing index.
- 47 USC 223a TAKE IT DOWN Act for any AI generated NCII content
- Right of publicity claims for unauthorized use of your photos and likeness
- Capture the Bing search query, the result URL, and any image thumbnails. Bing's image cache is updated less frequently than Google's, so cached images may persist longer after removal.
Frequently asked questions
How long will Bing actually take to remove the 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.
What if the perpetrator re uploads the content 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, so you can file a new notice as soon as matches reappear.
