Targeted by Social Media Scams or Online Fraud? We Can Help.

Before confronting perpetrators, get the facts supported by social media evidence.

Our social media investigations use advanced forensic techniques to uncover dating scams, fake profiles, cyberbullying, and online harassment affecting Canadians daily.

Why Social Media Investigation Matters?

  • ✅ Expose fake dating profiles and romance scammers
  • ✅ Document cyberbullying and online harassment evidence
  • ✅ Recover deleted posts and hidden social media activity

Not All Social Media Investigations Are the Same

Amateur investigators can alert perpetrators and destroy evidence.

DIY approaches may violate platform terms or compromise legal admissibility. We don’t.

Your case deserves professional analysis. Our certified investigators deliver court-admissible findings using legal methods so you can stop online predators.

How We’re Different

See why Investigation Hotline stands apart from unreliable or amateur social media investigations.

✅ Investigation Hotline (Professional Social Media Forensics) ❌ DIY or Amateur Online Searches
Platform Expertise Certified investigators with expertise across all major social platforms and dating apps Basic searching with no understanding of platform-specific evidence
Legal Compliance Court-approved methods that don’t violate platform terms or privacy laws Risk of illegal access attempts or evidence contamination
Evidence Preservation Forensic screenshots with metadata and chain of custody documentation Screenshots without proper authentication or legal validity
Stealth Operations Covert monitoring without alerting targets or triggering privacy settings Obvious searches that alert perpetrators and destroy evidence
Profile Analysis Deep investigation of fake profiles, reverse image searches, and identity verification Surface-level profile viewing with no verification capabilities
Data Recovery Recovery of deleted posts, messages, and archived social media content Only current visible content, missing critical deleted evidence


“I discovered my partner was using dating apps behind my back. Investigation Hotline’s social media experts found the hidden profiles and documented everything I needed for my divorce proceedings without alerting him.”


– Jennifer K., North York

Social Media Forensics and Online Investigation

Investigation Hotline’s certified social media specialists utilize advanced online investigation techniques to examine social media platforms, dating apps, and digital communications, recovering critical evidence in cases of online harassment, romance scams, or cyberbullying. This approach helps gather court-admissible evidence for investigations into fake profiles, identity theft, social media fraud, and digital deception affecting Canadians daily.

Whether dealing with dating app scams, fake profiles, or cyberbullying cases, our investigators deliver comprehensive reports that stand up in court, providing evidence needed to pursue legal action and protect your online reputation.

Dating App and Romance Scam Investigation

In 2024, Canadians reported $58 million in romance scam losses, up substantially from $22.5 million in 2018 (Source: 14 Phishing Statistics & Trends). The rise in online dating platforms has led to growing demand for romance scam investigation and dating app forensics. As digital relationships become more prevalent, fraudulent profiles create fake personas and manipulate victims across multiple platforms.

Our investigators utilize specialized tools to expose fake dating profiles and verify suspicious online relationships. We conduct comprehensive romance scam investigations, cryptocurrency transaction tracing related to dating fraud, and detailed analysis of communication patterns across dating platforms.

Cyberbullying and Online Harassment Documentation

A TD survey found that 41% of young adult Canadians (ages 18-34) were more likely to have been targeted by fraudsters through social media compared to older adults (source: Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization). We analyze social media harassment, cyberbullying incidents, and online threats to document evidence for legal proceedings. We extract threatening messages, harassing posts, and digital stalking evidence from major platforms while preserving metadata.

We employ advanced techniques to recover deleted threatening messages, trace anonymous accounts, and build detailed harassment timelines for restraining orders.

  • Cheating spouse, family, and divorce matters

  • Corporate and workplace misconduct
  • Searching for missing persons
