Images of the mystery blonde were posted on the internet - supposedly in a bid to trace the owner of a camera lost on holiday.
And the revealing pictures prompted tens of thousands of offers of help in the quest to return the lost property - at a rate of one every five seconds.
The pictures included the mystery girl in a bikini and underwear - and some naked.
But the object of their fascination turns out to be Wendy, a model who poses for X-rated pictures online.
The porn site has admitted that it was all a "clever viral marketing campaign".
The Facebook plea read: "We are trying to track down the lovely lass in these photos so she can be reunited with her lost digital camera. She certainly knows how to use it!
