Pinterest Brand-Board Impersonation: Verification Checklist
A Pinterest board can copy a brand’s images while its pins send shoppers to a different store. Check the destinations as well as the board cover.
Check the profile, boards and pin links
- Compare the profile URL with the Pinterest link on the brand’s website.
- Check the website associated with the profile and inspect pin destinations for unrelated or misspelled domains.
- Compare board titles, descriptions and images with the brand’s published collections.
- Review older boards for context when a profile appears to contain a large copied collection.
- Check coupon and payment offers against the brand’s own store before using them.
What to include in a report
- The profile URL and affected board and pin URLs.
- Screenshots of copied names or images alongside the brand’s originals.
- The actual destination domains of misleading coupons or shopping links.
Build an impersonation report with the relevant URLs and screenshots.
