UPDATE: I thought the account had been removed but I’ve been messaging Heidi (AKA the Narrowboat Pirate) and she has found it again, it’s just that the name has changed! She has been reporting the videos individually but TikTok said there was no copyright infringement, which is clearly incorrect.
@@bettyonaboat Unfortunately it's happening all the time there low lives and they've got nothing better to do and more than likely can't make vlogs like you do and probably jealous of your followers❤️❤️
Guys and gals, read on here that its only Betty who can report it. Not true. Click on the arrow in the top right when on the duplicate account on tik tok. Then at the bottom click report...click impersonating someone... select celebrity (Real Betty is to us) and when ir asks who, type in and select you tube. I know its a bit clunky and not ideal, but the more people that do it, the more attention Tik tok will pay to the fake channnel
That's cool, I'll try it again, because just now it didn't let me report the account. Edit: Still can't report it, maybe it's because I don't actually have a Tiktok account.
@@GlensFallsRich If you agree with this behaviour, then you're part of the problem, So go out like Betty get a life and stop pointing your failures towards a lady who is living her best life. I wish you well in your journey for happiness.
So sorry to hear this Betty. Similar has happened me in the past when I had my phone stolen. The person hacked into it & took over everything in my name. I knew who took my phone & informed the police, yet unfortunately they didn't prosecute. When the same/similar happens to famous people, prosecution & charges are made. Unfortunately we live in a world with some bad people & at times double standards... It's so frustrating, though fortunately there's more good people, than bad. Take care Betty, you're not alone in this & we move on. There's only one Betty on a boat & that's you 😊
Hi Betty, I just stumbled upon your channel. It’s lovely and relaxing. I hope the imposter on that other platform gets shut down! I have an extreme dislike for thieves.
Thanks Betty for this explainer video. Even though this 'situation' isn't the best, don't let this'incident' put you off - your efforts are much appreciated! Suggestion...keep bugging TikTok EVERY DAY until they remove the account. It may take a moment or three, but if you bug them enough...you get the picture I'm sure. Until the next video...be well - many blessings! Cheers...
I've had this done to me on Facebook when I had done a giveaway on my account. They set up a fake account telling people they had won, trying to make them click on a link and give their details. Luckily, Facebook took it down pretty quickly. Not sure why this person would just post clips unless they're trying to build an account big enough to generate income without doing any of the hard work. So annoying! Hope you get it sorted quickly.
Your channel just popped up (sometimes the algorithm does something right and gives me some variety without having to search for something specifically... wow! lol) even though I am in North Dakota and the nearest thing to a "canal" here is irrigation ditches in the Yellowstone River valley for the sugar beet crops. Thanks for sharing, for it's a rather refreshing change and looks quite peaceful, indeed. I grew up when "social media" was still hanging on a wall or inside an envelope... lol Years in radio stations and audio production rooms began long before cell phones (we were thrilled with the "bag phones"! lol) but I've always embraced modern tech, be it my camera gear and post-processing software or venues like RUclips. The downside is that it does create equal opportunity for the trolls, intellectual property thieves and scammers to do their things... The kinds of people we could once ignore or avoid more easily in days long past... I'm sorry to see this happen to your account but it will likely be a never-ending battle (I must regularly reverse-search my images and find them on a regular basis). Good luck getting the fake accounts shut down... Most of all, thanks for sharing genuinely interesting content here that is not "over-the-top". :)
I hope that this problem doesn't discourage you. Over here on this side of the ocean I had never heard of the narrow boats. I enjoy learning about them, and the country, from your great videos :-)
That's awful, Betty. I guess there are always some twisted people out there. Just know that we all think you are amazing and love to see your videos. Take care.
I find your videos very calming and relaxing. My only advice is to ignore and report. Quality always comes through. It can be too stressful to fight against fake posts. My advice, keep posting and increasing your viewer count. Ppl will see the truth...and the truth with always rise to the top. TY❤
I'm very sorry to hear this Betty.. I don;t understand why anyone would want to do this - but I'm old school... why these losers do this. is beyond me!
I completely agree with your sentiment and it's very welcome. But would you mind refraining from swearing? I'm not precious about it and I understand you're doing it because you're angry for Betty, but I just feel that Betty's channel and approach is worth more. It's nothing personal..
Sorry to hear this. Reporting is the only way, but until it is taken down you have done the right thing in sharing that it is fake. Stay well, and hopefully it will resolve itself soon.
Crikey, even a fake account can garner over 12k in followers, while genuine accounts struggle to keep them. I know I do. I think Social media, no, this entire world has become topsy turvy from the inside out.
Yes there is only one Betty. I personally enjoy your videos and to think of some low life doing that to people is just crazy. I hope you can get it sorted and back doing videos as soon as. Take Care all the way from AUS.
Oh dear Betty that's horrible and also theft!! I don't do Tik Tok but I hope those who do report the imposter channel. Keep doing what you are doing here as you are well loved ♥
Hi Betty - Firstly I would ensure that when uploading you do not allow remixing or sampling of your videos. Secondly I am so sorry that this is happening - this is something that RUclips don't give content creators enough detail on
That is so strange! I guess it would be different if they were saying “my channel is a collection of my favourite narrow boat content from various other channels which I’m resharing” (although that is probably not allowed either, I don’t know). But to pretend to be you is just so wrong!!! But I guess one positive thing is that it is a sign you are doing well…. Like when people make fake social media accounts pretending to be big name celebrities!
Best way to report them is to make your own tiktok account to prove with no doubt it's you, you will have to upload your own stuff there too to prove it's really you. Link your RUclips account in your tiktok account too. Wish you all the best. Love your vids here thank you for sharing. I know it is upsetting but there is always a way to sort it all out.
No one can imitate that jumper. 10/10. Hopefully everything works out. Social media is a minefield, but luckily there are some diamonds among the mines.
One possibility is that there's a market for high traffic accounts on that platform. In other words, people buy accounts that have lots of followers and views so they don't have to put in the effort themselves and have a ready made place to advertise, or seem popular or whatever the reason. At some point in the future the account would have all its content deleted and would start uploading something else with a new name. People who previously signed up thinking it was you would either just not realise and stay subscribed to it and occasionally see the posts or they'd wonder when they signed up to it and just unfollow it. To that end they could target you because your growth here on RUclips has been fast compared to most small channels, possibly partly due to the fact "narrowboat content" is pretty popular at the moment. The thing about social media is that "success" attracts success. So if there is a substantial following on a fake account, it will automatically be pushed to more and more people meaning the initial part of building a following (the hard part) is basically skipped and whoever buys the account can then just have thousands of followers right off the bat. Pretty sinister what people will do to get leg up really.
@@bettyonaboat Yeah it happens all over the internet, and whilst we can't be certain that's what this is, there's a good chance. It's depressing how shallow fellow human beings can be, but it's up to the rest of us to balance the scales so to speak. ☺
There are so many scammers out there Betty, it's likely to be for some kind of financial gain. Keep your chin up, it is very common. Looking forward to your next video.
Hi Betty, so sorry this has happened to you. Also happened to a friend of mine. They do it using stolen content to build subscribers on a TikTok account and then they sell those accounts to someone else with a ready made subscriber base. TikTok does have content detection like RUclips but not if you're not on TikTok. The best way to protect is create your own account and post shorts of your videos there in tandem. They will find it harder to re-upload and you might get some people discovering your wonderful videos on TikTok and then hopefully coming and watching it in all it's glory on RUclips. I supposed it's a downside of the great success that you've had!
Thanks Betty, for the heads-up! I don't do (tic-toc) But all of you who do please help Betty out and report that (impersonating channel) can be taken down quickly this way... Betty I can imagine how you feel. This is just crazy! "We will all be on the lookout for this sort of thing" and try and help out ... I'm sure it will be taken down quickly. It just shows that nowadays with all this new-tech one must be aware of individuals who are thieves 😞 it's sad that That should happen... I would suggest that you keep contacting the "tick tock" people and mentioning it until they erase that low life copy-cat! Looking forward to more content "from you" hang in there...😊
@@bettyonaboat it isn't creepy at all, it's social media, it's the way of the world, it's the human condition. Try living your life without social media, just live your fucking life, don't share it, live it...
Funny timing because I've been impersonating myself (with AI generated pictures of myself on holiday in the Bahamas) in the last 24 hours to my parents for a laugh. Unfortunately, they've completely bought it and I don't know what my end game is, in order to end it in a way where everyone laughs.
I will report it Betty. However, the best way to combat this kind of fraud is to create your own content on each of the major platforms. Once your accounts are established you then upload your content to all platforms in just a few clicks. Creating your wonderful content is the hard work. Putting it out there is the easy part. Then sit back and gather the revenue from them all. You will get used to it and it stops the repeated theft of your much loved content. Let me know if you need any pointers. Keep up the good work x
Well that’s very strange isn’t it betty. If it helps my own Facebook account was hacked. I can’t access it but other people can still see it and respond from it. I have tried to cancel it but I can’t access my own account as it has been hacked. I can’t even call the team on Facebook as there appears to be no telephone contact. These days it is 100% zero human contact. I hate everything about social media. It is so hard to get to talk to real people about issues you may have. I hope you are OK betty and not getting to stressed about it. Keep going on the channel Betty as we all love your videos.
Someone is impersonating you on TikTok. That is bad. Just to say that I am sorry that this has happened you. Take care Betty... be strong.... and thank you for this short video.
Something similar happened to someone I follow on RUclips too. Someone setup a fake YT account with almost the same name (think it had three L's in it instead of double), copied her profile pic and most of her videos, then started replying to comments of the real channel pretending to be her, but posting links back to the videos on the fake account. Assume if the fake account can get enough views they could get monetised, but she reported them to YT and it was taken down very quickly.
Their are some weird people out their..really weird. These odd balls don't really need a reason. Don't let this put you off carrying on with what you do..
I'm not a big fan of cliché 's Betty but one that does ring true with me and has always got me thru some real tough and seriously heart-breaking times is 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.' There's always going to be unexpected things crop up that are beyond our control (curved balls, left field and all that jazz - that's "life"), but what you always do have under your control is how you choose to react to them. That's not to down-play or belittle your pain, that pain is Real, I get that ...but it is only temporary and it will abate with time, patience and understanding. Clearly you are going through tough times again right now but you've been here before and your resilience, optimism and fighting spirit has got you thru it and out the other side. Rise above it - you've got this Betty Boop!! In addition to your loved ones and your besties it is clear you are also greatly loved, appreciated and supported by your devoted fans here on this Channel 👍☺🥰
Hello Betty. What a strange story. I would really be interested in knowing the reason someone would do this. I hope you do a follow up video. Haven't seen your channel before. It was the title of this one that got my attention. I have followed a few channels, mostly for the DIY and have become hooked on canal life. Started with David on Crusing the Cut, and really enjoy the adventures of Holly the Cafe Boat. Anyway, I'll give you a sub and watch for any up dates. Good luck!
So sorry this has happened to you Betty. No doubt money could be this imposter's incentive. I am not sure how Tik Tok works but like other sm, it is probably monetised at a certain number of followers? Try not to worry. I am sure it will get sorted. You are a lovely person, Betty. All the very best. 🌻
Hi Betty I have not seen this however I will check out and report, as this is not right whether it's a real person or AI. Can't wait till your next cruising video! Love out to you and your Dad,hope he is doing well. Blessing to you both. ❤
It’s very bizarre why people do this. Another channel I follow has over 100k subs and someone set up a fake TikTok account and stole all his videos. He’s tried to get it taken down but TikTok don’t care at all. Good luck with your case, but don’t be surprised if nothing happens.
There are some vile creatures out there Betty who for some reason get a kick out of abusing or attacking vulnerable folk… social media is the worst platform man has invented as all it’s done is give bedroom keyboard warriors a tool to abuse others. If you want to continue on RUclips I recommend taking steps to insure your account is safe by whatever means, maybe contact some of the more established boater channels and ask for advice?
There are numerous schemes where the impersonator tries to befriend people and get them to send or “invest” money. Some of them are huge organized crime operations overseas. Please don’t let the parasites get you down… Your viewers love the peacefulness and beauty of the narrowboat life. I love the glimpses of the beautiful English countryside. Thank you for inviting us along for the ride.
@@bettyonaboat You’re so kind :) Keep reporting and getting us to report it. TikTok has close ties to the Chinese government and the US is trying to ban it on the basis of a national security risk, a case which may go to our supreme court.
Thanks for the heads up Betty.its Happening every where now the scum nicking other people’s identities to scam people, at least someone let you know and now your dealing with it👌. Can’t wait to see your next video and see what you’ve been up to and I hope your Dad is ok xx
What a weird thing to do. I hope this hasn’t put you off, hopefully tic toc will see sense and remove this. I’m sure you aren’t the first that this has happened to. I don’t watch tic toc so I haven’t seen it myself. Take care and don’t let it upset you . xxx
Sure it is, but unfortunately we live in a double standards legal system & so it only becomes fraud etc, if such happens to famous people etc. I know this only too well, as similar has happened to me & no prosecution came of it.
I’m not sure either! I know it’s copyright infringement but that would come under civil law rather than criminal law. Are there laws against pretending to be someone else?
@@bettyonaboat Yes Betty, that's what I was told. Though a theft is criminal & so theft of someone else's belongings (your personal info etc) should surely be criminal law. It's a minefield
@@keepitreal1547 IT's not a simple as you'd like it to be and stating that it's only actioned when it's famous people is rubbish. The offenders are almost always residing in a different country with a very different legal system, what might be fraud in the UK for instance, may not be seen as such in other nations. No matter whether you're famous or not, try pursuing a claim for fraud or copyright infringement on to an individual overseas and within an alien legal system, one that may well be corrupt. You could spent years and many tens or hundreds of thousands pursuing a ghost. It's not a case of double standards, one law for the famous and one for the not-so... that just shows your lack of understanding and bias.
@@Englishman999 The individual that stole my phone & hacked everything in it, using my I.d etc, was/is an English resident from birth. I had the evidence to show who it was. Nothing more to be said.
It is always a pleasure to see you Betty. RUclips would be a bit annoyed at having their content ripped off to another forum and they might have a bit more muscle in dealing with this TikTok issue.
UPDATE: I thought the account had been removed but I’ve been messaging Heidi (AKA the Narrowboat Pirate) and she has found it again, it’s just that the name has changed! She has been reporting the videos individually but TikTok said there was no copyright infringement, which is clearly incorrect.
This seems to be happening with a lot of channels lately. They also post the videos to other sites, and even on RUclips!
Tiktok are amongst many like that pirate users and there seems to be no such thing as copyright unless your big corporation.......
That’s annoying but also reassuring in a way as I was quite creeped out by it to start with!
@@bettyonaboat Unfortunately it's happening all the time there low lives and they've got nothing better to do and more than likely can't make vlogs like you do and probably jealous of your followers❤️❤️
It’s how social media works these days think of it as free publicity.
There’s only one Betty 👍
Bless you Betty, I'm so sorry to hear this. It's sickening that other people leach off of others' hard work.

Then at the bottom click report...click impersonating someone... select celebrity (Real Betty is to us) and when ir asks who, type in and select you tube.

Hi, this didn't work for me - only share options
I clicked on the three dots by the top of the video and that worked.
Didnt work for me, as you have to select someone that IS on TikTok as the person you're reporting impersonation of.
That's cool, I'll try it again, because just now it didn't let me report the account.
Edit: Still can't report it, maybe it's because I don't actually have a Tiktok account.

Funny timing because I've been impersonating myself (with AI generated pictures of myself on holiday in the Bahamas) in the last 24 hours to my parents for a laugh. Unfortunately, they've completely bought it and I don't know what my end game is, in order to end it in a way where everyone laughs.
😂
I will report it Betty. However, the best way to combat this kind of fraud is to create your own content on each of the major platforms. Once your accounts are established you then upload your content to all platforms in just a few clicks. Creating your wonderful content is the hard work. Putting it out there is the easy part. Then sit back and gather the revenue from them all. You will get used to it and it stops the repeated theft of your much loved content. Let me know if you need any pointers. Keep up the good work x
Thanks for reporting it!
Well that’s very strange isn’t it betty. If it helps my own Facebook account was hacked. I can’t access it but other people can still see it and respond from it. I have tried to cancel it but I can’t access my own account as it has been hacked. I can’t even call the team on Facebook as there appears to be no telephone contact. These days it is 100% zero human contact. I hate everything about social media. It is so hard to get to talk to real people about issues you may have. I hope you are OK betty and not getting to stressed about it. Keep going on the channel Betty as we all love your videos.
Oh no, that sounds awful! I’m sorry to hear that.
I just started watching your show. I signed in . I like it. 👍
Welcome aboard!
Betty, looking on the bright side. It just shows what star power you have.😄
Oh Betty, I'm so sorry this has happened to you, it's rotten.
As someone else said, there's only one Betty, and your true followers know that. ❤
That’s awful. I’m so sorry. I hope it stops soon.
Someone is impersonating you on TikTok. That is bad. Just to say that I am sorry that this has happened you. Take care Betty... be strong.... and thank you for this short video.
They seem to think impersonation like this isn't a violation. Even when I report the correct way.
Go get em Betty, please get them investigated asap, Best wishes to you
Seems to be a lot of this happening lately, I can’t see what they gain from it either 🤷🏼♂️
Hope you get it sorted 🙏🏼
Something similar happened to someone I follow on RUclips too. Someone setup a fake YT account with almost the same name (think it had three L's in it instead of double), copied her profile pic and most of her videos, then started replying to comments of the real channel pretending to be her, but posting links back to the videos on the fake account.
Assume if the fake account can get enough views they could get monetised, but she reported them to YT and it was taken down very quickly.
Ah it’s good it was taken down! Maybe I should ask her for advice?
Hope you get it sorted. All your YT fans and followers know who the real Betty On a Boat is. AND that’s really cool jumper you have there.
Thank you! 🐕
Thank you, Betty. This is maddening to see. It would only be nice if someone was doing that FOR you instead of TO you
It's a mad world we live in ....... There's Only one Betty on a boat thank you for this vid, I will report the TikTok vids.
Thanks for reporting them!
Hi, you keep doing your good work 👏 and take no notice these weird things happen 😊
Their are some weird people out their..really weird. These odd balls don't really need a reason.
Don't let this put you off carrying on with what you do..
It is the dark side of social media. I don’t understand why people do such things.
Money.
I'm not a big fan of cliché 's Betty but one that does ring true with me and has always got me thru some real tough and seriously heart-breaking times is 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.' There's always going to be unexpected things crop up that are beyond our control (curved balls, left field and all that jazz - that's "life"), but what you always do have under your control is how you choose to react to them. That's not to down-play or belittle your pain, that pain is Real, I get that ...but it is only temporary and it will abate with time, patience and understanding. Clearly you are going through tough times again right now but you've been here before and your resilience, optimism and fighting spirit has got you thru it and out the other side. Rise above it - you've got this Betty Boop!! In addition to your loved ones and your besties it is clear you are also greatly loved, appreciated and supported by your devoted fans here on this Channel 👍☺🥰
Curve balls
I don't do "Tik Tok", so I haven't seen it. There is only one "Betty on a boat". And I prefer a longer version of the journey.
Hello Betty. What a strange story. I would really be interested in knowing the reason someone would do this. I hope you do a follow up video.
Haven't seen your channel before. It was the title of this one that got my attention.
I have followed a few channels, mostly for the DIY and have become hooked on canal life.
Started with David on Crusing the Cut, and really enjoy the adventures of Holly the Cafe Boat.
Anyway, I'll give you a sub and watch for any up dates.
Good luck!
I used to listen to a band in the 80’s called “Tiktok” so I find this confusing what a web thing is named after a band..?
I’m not sure where the name came from!
@@bettyonaboat hope you get resolve from this situation..
So sorry this has happened to you Betty. No doubt money could be this imposter's incentive. I am not sure how Tik Tok works but like other sm, it is probably monetised at a certain number of followers? Try not to worry. I am sure it will get sorted. You are a lovely person, Betty. All the very best. 🌻
I don’t know how it works but maybe it is a money thing?
Hi Betty I have not seen this however I will check out and report, as this is not right whether it's a
real person or AI.
Can't wait till your next cruising video!
Love out to you and your Dad,hope he is doing well.
Blessing to you both.
❤
Thank you, that’s very kind!
It’s very bizarre why people do this. Another channel I follow has over 100k subs and someone set up a fake TikTok account and stole all his videos. He’s tried to get it taken down but TikTok don’t care at all. Good luck with your case, but don’t be surprised if nothing happens.
Yeah I’ve only heard bad things about TikTok!
There are some vile creatures out there Betty who for some reason get a kick out of abusing or attacking vulnerable folk… social media is the worst platform man has invented as all it’s done is give bedroom keyboard warriors a tool to abuse others. If you want to continue on RUclips I recommend taking steps to insure your account is safe by whatever means, maybe contact some of the more established boater channels and ask for advice?
I think my RUclips account is OK (fingers crossed 🤞) but TikTok is generally a bit dodgy.
There are numerous schemes where the impersonator tries to befriend people and get them to send or “invest” money. Some of them are huge organized crime operations overseas. Please don’t let the parasites get you down… Your viewers love the peacefulness and beauty of the narrowboat life. I love the glimpses of the beautiful English countryside. Thank you for inviting us along for the ride.
This is what I’m worried about - I don’t want anyone to be scammed!
@@bettyonaboat You’re so kind :) Keep reporting and getting us to report it. TikTok has close ties to the Chinese government and the US is trying to ban it on the basis of a national security risk, a case which may go to our supreme court.
I was once told that there are more horses arses in the world than there are horses. I think this kind of thing proves it.
Very best wishes.
We live in strange times.
Hope the account gets taken down.
Keep us posted 🙂
Unbelievable, let's hope that's the last of that. Look forward to the next video 😊
Betty, no one could impersonate you. You are unique.
Thanks for the heads up Betty.its Happening every where now the scum nicking other people’s identities to scam people, at least someone let you know and now your dealing with it👌. Can’t wait to see your next video and see what you’ve been up to and I hope your Dad is ok xx
I hope it’s not a scam! My dad is doing well, thank you.
What a weird thing to do. I hope this hasn’t put you off, hopefully tic toc will see sense and remove this. I’m sure you aren’t the first that this has happened to. I don’t watch tic toc so I haven’t seen it myself. Take care and don’t let it upset you . xxx
It’s so weird! It hasn’t put me off though! 😀
Don’t worry about it. It won’t detract from your channel. It could even generate you more viewers. People are weird.
There can only be one of you…..lovely
I guess the motivation of the bad person on Tik Tok is to gain views and then money. It's very sad and I hope they get stopped.
Love the jumper Betty ❤ cats are the best x nice to see you again xx looking forward to your next video out on the boat cant wait xx
Thanks!
Thank you so much, that’s really kind of you!
Surely this is a form of fraud? I don't know the legalities of a situation like this, but it's wrong on so many levels!
Sure it is, but unfortunately we live in a double standards legal system & so it only becomes fraud etc, if such happens to famous people etc.
I know this only too well, as similar has happened to me & no prosecution came of it.
I’m not sure either! I know it’s copyright infringement but that would come under civil law rather than criminal law. Are there laws against pretending to be someone else?
@@bettyonaboat
Yes Betty, that's what I was told.
Though a theft is criminal & so theft of someone else's belongings (your personal info etc) should surely be criminal law.
It's a minefield
@@keepitreal1547 IT's not a simple as you'd like it to be and stating that it's only actioned when it's famous people is rubbish.
The offenders are almost always residing in a different country with a very different legal system, what might be fraud in the UK for instance, may not be seen as such in other nations.
No matter whether you're famous or not, try pursuing a claim for fraud or copyright infringement on to an individual overseas and within an alien legal system, one that may well be corrupt. You could spent years and many tens or hundreds of thousands pursuing a ghost.
It's not a case of double standards, one law for the famous and one for the not-so... that just shows your lack of understanding and bias.
@@Englishman999
The individual that stole my phone & hacked everything in it, using my I.d etc, was/is an English resident from birth.
I had the evidence to show who it was.
Nothing more to be said.
Don’t understand why ?? But keep on doing your vids, nearly 19k followers, you are massive⚒
Has Heidi been informed of her videos on there ?
I’ve just messaged Heidi on Instagram to let her know.
Oh, bless you. What a strange world we live in. Hopefully it will get taken down soon x
I hope so!
Would love to support you by reporting their channel but I never have and never will go on Tik Tok.
You must be winning if some prick is trying to impersonate you, best of Paul. ❤
Hi Betty, that’s disgusting, if I could rid the world of Tik Tok, I would. Keep up the good work, there’s only one Betty!
It is always a pleasure to see you Betty. RUclips would be a bit annoyed at having their content ripped off to another forum and they might have a bit more muscle in dealing with this TikTok issue.
