Is it really considered "extreme" to hire a private investigator for somebody impersonating me on an online dating app? Why is impersonating a person not taken seriously until it's too late?

This question was taken from Quora and the following was posted as our answer:

You can always report it to the administration of the app. If they do not take the required actions, you are totaly right to hire whatever solves your problem. There is no guarantee what this person is doin with your credentials.
