Remove scammer using my photos content from Tumblr

Why this happens on Tumblr

• Tumblr reblogs create persistent copies of content across hundreds of unrelated blogs. A single original post can have thousands of reblogs, each requiring a separate URL in the takedown notice.
• 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 Tumblr typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and screenshot redistribution.
