After much reflection, I decided to delete these social media accounts because for many years I have been suffering from the number of fake profiles that have been created, using my image and my name to try to scam other people by impersonating me. Numerous attempts were made to delete these profiles, all without success. I felt like I was trying to bail water with a sieve, and since I wasn't using those networks as much anymore , I decided to delete them. So here is the official statement, because if any profile on TikTok or Telegram with my image or my name contacts you, follows you, adds you, or anything like that, it's not me, okay? My only official social media accounts me, Ana Tavares, with a verification badge), my YouTube channel, Ana Tavares Trader (also verified), and all my official links available here in my bio.
