Married Model Uses Private Detectives to Track Down Men Who Trick Women on Dating Sites

A married male model, Matt Peacock, has employed the services of private detectives to track down men using his identity to trick women on dating sites.

A particular man stole the identity of Peacock and used it to produce 40 fictitious profiles on dating sites aiming to dupe gullible women into dates and casual relationships. In order to convince his victims even more, the identity thief used photos of the model’s relatives. By so doing, he got the ladies into sending private photos and videos to him.

Peacock has said that the activities of these invaders have had a devastating effect on his wife and the women who have fallen victim to their scheme. Following the ugly development, many of those female victims have been contacting Peacock.

The married fashion model then used private detective to track down and confront one of those erring men.  When apprehended, the man was apologetic and promised to stop, but just three weeks after, he continued with his deceptive activities.

Peacock has expressed disgust concerning the issue. He said, ‘I am a fashion model by trade so there are a lot of pictures of me out there.’ He also said that he started getting messages from girls he hadn’t met before saying they had been talking to someone pretending to be him.

He further explained, ‘There were 43 different profiles that used my picture, and it wasn't just one person doing it. It affected me and my whole family.’ He also added, ‘I am going to be a dad next year, and I don't want my children to come into a world where this goes on.’

When the expectant father contacted the police, he was told that there was nothing they could do because the perpetrator wasn't breaking any laws.

He has since launched a campaign to lobby for a change. He hopes that people who steal others’ pictures and create fake social media platforms will be brought to justice.
