Can I report the profile, that is my Fake, and tries to claim my OC, and nickname? If yes, what reason should I report him with?

Yes. Impersonation is illegal and against the CGS. Report the projects where they say they are you/and use contact us.

I would recommend using Contact Us for this, and explaining the problem there. But only do that if the person is either pretending to be you, or claiming something of yours as their own.
The reason I'm suggesting to use Contact Us is because thee isn't really a option for reporting this.

I would report the username.Contact Us is probably better, since the username might not look inappropriate (and hence we wouldn't do anything about it since we don't see anything wrong with it).

Yeah, I think you need to use Contact Us, one of my friends had that happen to them, and it’s not fun.

Thank you for offering your help, but this thread is pretty old - I don't think it's relevant anymore. When you respond to a topic, please make sure it's recent and the original poster still needs an answer. Thanks!
