AS the messages fly and grow more and more explicit, an OnlyFans punter is drawn into a chat exchange with a sexy female influencer – or so he believes.

But his chat is just that — make-believe.

In reality, the busty sex-kitten at the end of those heated chats is tattooed dad-of-two Re Nuro, seated at a computer in the churning out a stream of messages to multiple men at one time.

A Sun probe has found he is one of a legion of “chatters” — remote workers, typically Filipino men, hired by female to impersonate them for as little as 75p an hour and exchange sexy chat and naughty content.

Saucy creators such as — who admits using them — and management agencies are hiring the cheap labour to ramp up profits.

Brits spent £400million on OnlyFans last year — and unbeknown to many, their favourite scantily clad creators may be male imposters.

OnlyFans imposters

They could be rock music fan Re, 29, from Cavite City in the Philippines, who has shoulder-length locks, a smattering of facial hair and ear stretchers.

He juggles five female accounts at a time and tells us: “I don’t feel guilty, as long as subscribers get the content they need. The pay is good, I’m thinking about feeding my family, I need money for food and bills.”

He is paid £530 a month but earns the account holders up to £1,150 a day.

Others, like newbie Leo Cerelose, 25, make just 75p per hour or £4.50 for an entire six-hour shift.

We have uncovered claims that some chatters, trained by ruthless sales people, are doing anything to make business — flogging videos for quadruple the price, engaging in incest role play or using derogatory terms to tap into the .

Victoria Sinis, 27, a management agency whistleblower, tells us it is safe to assume many creators hire chatters, unless they have a very small following.

She said: “You’re probably not messaging a girl — but a guy in the Philippines trained in the ‘girlfriend experience’.

“They trick people to believe they are in relationships with actual connection, not just sex.

“It’s betrayal and OnlyFans know chatters exist but won’t admit it or the entire business crumbles.”

Rather than sending X-rated messages and nude shots to their lusted-after influencer, randy OnlyFans users could be sexting secret male chatters.

Filipino Leo, a chatter of two months, says: “It’s OK for me. I need to work to earn money.”

We found he was one of 250,000 members in 70 Facebook groups advertising chatter work — for accounts of “vanilla MILFs” and “beautiful girls”.

Job ads offered hourly pay of 75p to £2.65, and also some commission.

Chatters worked shifts of six hours or more, day and night, and are expected to sext with fans to solicit tips and sell X-rated pictures and videos.

Jobseekers seen by The Sun hailed from Nigeria, Madagascar, India, Romania and the Philippines — but the latter seemed a favourite with recruiters.

Bjorn Olsen, owner of Your OF Empire, boasted on TikTok about his Filipino hires’ commitment, calling them “the most hard-working people you will ever meet”.

He smugly recalled one lady only requesting time off to “go to hospital and have a baby”, before adding: “That’s what we’re dealing with. They are next level.”

“Yes, it is deception and yes, it is fraud but everyone is getting what they want… No one is getting stooged.”

In another clip, Bjorn defended the use of chatters, arguing that subscribers are “getting what they paid for” — the model’s content and “the attention they sign up for”.

He added: “Yes, it is deception and yes, it is fraud but everyone is getting what they want… No one is getting stooged.”

Ruthless tactics

Unsurprisingly, few of the naughty creators admit to using chatters.

But one who does is , 21, who bills herself as the “#1 girl on OnlyFans”.

The model — who claims she earned £75million in two years — told GQ she had chatters “all over the place” because “the money comes from talking to people”.

Of 4.6million OnlyFans creators worldwide, the number who use chatters is unknown — but countless management agencies openly offer these services.

One website, GhostChatters, states: “Do you think CEOs sit replying to customer enquiries for hours a day? No, they hire people. Why treat your OnlyFans differently?”

Anonymous OnlyFans creators we spoke to called the agency’s tactics — including hiking a £7.50 video to £34 — ruthless.

They said one fan was fleeced for £335 in half an hour, while another charged hundreds of pounds for a video call that normally cost a fiver and one chatter tried to sell the creator’s phone number for £37 per digit.

One added: “They said things like ‘I’m your sl** w****’ and ‘Daddy’s little sl**’.

“I’d never say that because it’s things you hear in the manosphere, it’s dangerous and just money-grabbing.”

Creator Gia Clarke has heard “horror stories” from pals who were nearly banned from OnlyFans when chatters started “roleplaying incest in sexual messages”, violating the site’s rules.

“My friend got a load of violations but the chatter didn’t give a s**t,” OnlyFans model Gia Clarke said.

“All they care about is making money but the girls could lose their entire livelihoods.”

Jema Gilsenan, known as Princess Levi online, says a friend’s “big spender” subscriber was rinsed for more and more money until he never came back.

She added: “Using chatters isn’t right. The girls are raking in loads of money, while the chatters make next to nothing. It’s almost slave labour.”

Creator Kayla Wild, who believes chatters are “massively risky”, says: “I couldn’t do it. If a guy is paying to talk to you, you should reply.”

OnlyFans did not comment on questions asked by The Sun but pointed us to their T&Cs. One section read: “The Fan acknowledges third parties may assist Creators in operating their accounts and in Creator Interactions.”

It is a clear admission that encourages the use of chatters and impersonators.

But the fine print is unlikely to be noticed by OnlyFans subscribers looking to get a quick thrill.
