Spotting Fake Creators and Stolen Photos
Simple checks before you buy.
Start with the badge
Every real creator on TootsieTrader passed ID verification. If someone in your messages says they are a creator but has no verified badge on their profile, stop. Report them.
Check the photos
- Run a reverse image search (Google Lens or TinEye). If the same feet photos appear under a different name, walk away.
- Look for a mix of angles and normal lighting. Perfect studio shots on every post are a red flag.
- Ask for a quick custom photo with a handwritten username next to the feet. Real creators can do this in a minute.
Read the history
A creator with a steady post history and reviews is a safer bet than a brand new profile with a low price. New creators are fine. Just start with a small purchase.
The big rule
Never pay outside the app. Real purchases go through checkout in Cash App, Strike or 25+ other apps, and the content arrives in your chat. Anyone asking you to send money somewhere else is not on our side of the deal.
If it goes wrong
For a custom order, open an order request from the order card. You and the creator have 72 hours to agree on sending it again, a full refund or a partial refund. If you cannot agree, our team reviews it. More on the disputes page.
