Remove romance scam victim content from OnlyFans

Why this happens on OnlyFans

• OnlyFans content is paywalled which limits casual sharing, but leaks to mirror sites and Telegram channels are common. Stolen creator credentials can also be used to post unauthorized content under the creator's profile.
• Romance scam to sextortion pivots are a documented pattern of organized scam operations. The romance phase establishes intimacy and obtains images, then the operation pivots to extortion demands.
• Most romance scam operations are based outside the United States, often in West Africa or Southeast Asia. The FBI maintains active investigations and international cooperation channels for these cases.
• Cross platform spread is the rule, not the exception. Content first appearing on OnlyFans typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and screenshot redistribution.
