A Snapchat username impersonating you

Short answer: If a Snapchat account uses your name or photos to pose as you, report it from the profile or through Snapchat Support. Snapchat also has a username infringement route when the name uses your trademark. Keep screenshots, because Snapchat profiles can change quickly.
