Digital investigation

Find out who may be behind a fake profile

Investigation of fake social media and app profiles: pattern analysis, public data cross-checks and a report on possible culprits.

Understanding the problem

Fake profiles are used to scam, defame, harass or impersonate. They often leave traces — reused usernames, recycled photos, activity patterns — that can point to links with other accounts or people.

When this service helps

  • Someone created a profile using your name or photos.
  • You're receiving abuse or threats from an anonymous account.
  • You suspect a profile asking for money is fake.
  • You want to know whether several accounts are run by the same person.

  • We don't access the investigated account or private messages.
  • We don't guarantee identifying the person responsible.

Frequently asked questions

Can you get the IP of whoever created the profile?

Not on our own. Platforms hold that data and usually release it only under a court order, which a lawyer can request based on our report.

What if the profile is deleted mid-investigation?

That's why we document it first. Captures and records remain usable as reference.
