Impersonation and fake content evidence capture logwhen someone fakes your name, face or work online
TimeBinder adds a layer of protection against AI and human fraud and disputes. Add the screenshots or saved files you hold and say where each was seen. You get a log with fingerprints made in your browser, gaps to fix and a copy to save.
Your files are read in your browser to make a fingerprint. They are not uploaded. This page does not show that a post is fake, who made it, or that a capture is complete. It is not legal advice, and it does not report anything for you.
Build your capture log
Choose your screenshots or saved files, then say where each was seen and what you did about it. Files stay on your device.
Files are read in your browser to make a fingerprint. They are not uploaded, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Log each fake post, account or video you find, with a fingerprint of each screenshot
Add the screenshots or saved files you hold and say where each was seen. You get a log with SHA-256 fingerprints made in your browser, gaps to fix and a text and spreadsheet copy. Files are not uploaded.
How do I keep evidence of a fake account or a fake video of me? The short answer
Capture it before it disappears: take a full screenshot or screen recording showing the address bar or app name, the account name and the date, and copy the link. For each capture note the platform, the account, the date you saw it, what it shows and what you did about it (report to the platform, takedown notice, report to an authority), with any ticket number. Keep the original capture file, not only a copy sent through a chat app.
A fingerprint of each file lets you check later that a copy is the same file. A TimeBind adds a recorded time: the exact file existed no later than that time. Neither shows that a post is fake or who made it. If money is involved, use the platform’s scam reporting and your national scam reporting service.
Why this came up in November 2026
AI influencers and fake faces are a big topic with creators. Counts below were read on 13 November 2026 (Australia/Brisbane) unless the text says another date. Jarvis Johnson’s “AI Influencer Scams Have Begun”, uploaded on 10 November 2026, showed 764,876 views and 18,988 likes. Marichi’s “I Hope Your AI Scam Business Fails”, uploaded on 11 November 2026, showed 8,081 views. An earlier Marichi video, “AI Influencers Faking Conditions Is SO Disturbing”, uploaded on 26 October 2026, showed 1,744,157 views. These are demand signals from video titles. This page does not check what any of them claims.
The practical problem for anyone whose name or work is copied is the same: the post vanishes, and you are left with a vague memory. The log keeps what you saw, where, when, and what you did about it.

What this tool does and does not do
The honest job of this page is to keep a dated, organised record while the evidence still exists. See also the glossary entries for existed no later than and SHA-256.
| Part | What it does | What it does not do |
|---|---|---|
| Fingerprints | Makes a SHA-256 fingerprint of each file in your browser, so you can later check a copy is identical. | Show that a screenshot is real or unedited. |
| Capture log | Records address, platform, account, date seen, what it shows, and what you did, with report numbers. | Report anything or contact anyone for you. |
| Gaps | Flags entries with no file, no address, no date, no report, or a repeated fingerprint. | Say whether a post is fake or who made it. |
| A TimeBind of a file you already hold | Records that an exact file existed no later than a recorded time and still matches, using a SHA-256 fingerprint made in your browser. The file stays on your device. | Show who made a file, or that what it shows is true. |
If you may need to show your captures later
Once your log is complete:
- Gather the original screenshots, recordings and the saved text of the log in one folder.
- Make a TimeBind of each exact file you already hold. The fingerprint is made in your browser and the file stays on your device. You can later download a Proof of Time Certificate.
- Keep the report numbers and any replies from the platform with them.
A TimeBind shows each exact file existed no later than the recorded time and still matches. It does not show that a post is fake.
First Pooled TimeBind free, no card, then from US$5. An ASAP TimeBind is US$15.
What a TimeBind shows, and what it does not. It shows that an exact file existed no later than a recorded time and that a copy shown later still matches its fingerprint. It does not show who made the file, who owns it, that its contents are true, or whether AI was used to make or edit it. This is general information, not legal advice.
Impersonation and fake content evidence capture log: FAQ
Are my files uploaded?
No. Each file is read in your browser to make a fingerprint. Nothing is sent to TimeBinder.
Does the fingerprint prove my screenshot is genuine?
No. It shows only that a copy is identical to the file that was fingerprinted.
Does this tool report the account for me?
No. It only logs what you did. Use the platform’s own report form and note the ticket number.
Is this legal advice?
No. If you may take legal action, ask a lawyer how to preserve evidence in your country.
Why save the original capture?
A copy sent through a messaging app may be re-compressed, so it has a different fingerprint. Keep the first file.
Is anything I type or tick sent to TimeBinder?
No. This page runs in your browser. What you type stays on the page.
