Start with the concern
What does the available evidence show?
- Scams or catfishing: research relevant profiles, businesses, aliases and public connections.
- Online or dark-web extortion: review messages you are authorized to share and available published references. A threat alone does not prove the claim is true.
- Impersonation or harassment: document public profiles, posts and relevant activity.
