Pictures of Cheryl Cole's gorgeous face superimposed on naked porn photos have been taken off eBay after the internet auction site were alerted to the scam.
Last night eBay reportedly apologised to Cheryl, 27, for allowing the fake images to be offered for sale from £5 upwards, breaching rules of nudity and copyright.
But it's not only crudely Photoshopped shots of the Girls Aloud star that are popping up in surprising places in cyberspace.
Website RussianBrides.org also agreed to remove photos of stunning Cheryl from their site after being informed that she was definitely not an eastern European woman looking for a husband.
'She is extremely careful about any products she endorses - and this Russian bride agency is most certainly not one of them,' an insider tells the Daily Star.
An image of Cheryl in a white V-necked jumper with an alluring smile - used 'by mistake' - no longer entices would-be grooms to register with the agency.
