Scammer Sending People To My Business

Location: Colorado

I own a tattoo shop in Colorado. I have a problem with a TikTok account that is posing as a tattoo artist and uses stolen images/videos (from someone else, not me) for his account. The problem is that he books people, takes a deposit, and then tells them that he works at my shop and gives my shop address. He does not and never has worked for me. I think he is actually located in India (kinda guessing because I managed to get him on the phone once).

I have tried reporting him to TikTok but nothing has happened with that. I have made a shop TikTok account where the only post is warning people that he is a scammer and to not book with him. But it is still happening.

I am doubting that I actually have actions that I can take since he likely isn’t located in the US, and has taken effort to hide his actual identity.

I figured I would check here to see if there were actual legal options I could take to stop him? I am not losing money, but in theory my shop is losing reputation?

I am just frustrated because about once a week I have to tell someone they sent several hundred dollars to a scammer that doesn’t exist.
