An OnlyFans star says she’s the “most catfished woman on the internet” — revealing that she’s hired security teams that spend their days taking down hundreds of accounts pretending to be her to scam her fans.
CeCe Rose, 27, who has over 2.2 million Instagram followers and makes millions a year on OnlyFans, claims she’s been relentlessly impersonated by ill-intentioned fraudsters who prey on her fans for cash.
“It’s gotten so bad, to the point that just the other day, my team found 371 fake accounts,” Rose, of Toronto, revealed to The Post Thursday.
“I’ve heard stories where somebody genuinely believed they were in a serious relationship with ‘me,’ including believing we were going to meet or have a future together one day.”
While she said impersonating creators has become an increasingly pressing problem across the board — with the US Federal Trade Commission reporting that Americans lost a staggering $3.5 billion to imposter scams in 2025 — she said the scale of the scheme targeting her and her fans is “unfathomable.”
“At the end of the day, being on social media, everyone has fake accounts pop up. But out of the people in my circle, it’s nothing compared to the quantity,” she said.
Rose first discovered this was problem in 2023, when a frustrated fan messaged her on OnlyFans accusing her of stealing his money and ghosting him.
She then realized there was a slew of accounts using her photos and videos to lure her followers off mainstream apps like Instagram and TikTok onto messaging platforms like Telegram, Zangi and WhatsApp.
One of her admirers told her he lost $80,000 to an impersonator.
“He drained his bank account trying to support ‘my ambitions’ — the fake scammer’s ambitions or whatever story they were feeding to him,” she recalled.
“And I imagine the stories I’m not hearing. [The scammers] are probably making more money than me.”
And as AI becomes more and more advanced, Rose is worried more men will fall for devastating schemes.
Most of the people who have fallen victim to her catfish tend to be older, she explained, but she wouldn’t be surprised if younger fans are also falling for scams but are to embarrassed to speak up.
“I always make it clear they shouldn’t feel ashamed,” she said.
“If somebody has spent months believing they’re building a genuine relationship, finding out the entire thing was fake can be devastating.”
Rose said her teams have successfully tracked down at least one person suspected of using her identity to lure in her fans. The situation is still under investigation.
To her fans, Rose warned that she’d never come crawling to them for cash.
“I won’t message you asking for money. That’s the most important thing: I will never come to you begging for anything,” she said.
