Creator Safety Toolkit — protect yourself and your followers
Impersonators rarely target the creator — they target the audience. This toolkit gives you four free tools to detect impersonator accounts, monitor your reply threads, and publish a verified safety post your followers can trust.

Find every fake version of your handle across X, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube in under a minute.

Surface impersonator accounts replying under your posts and offering 'recovery' DMs to your audience.

Claim my badgeThe 15-minute weekly routine
- 1. Run the scanner on your own handle. Surfaces every impersonator account currently active in your reply threads and mentions. Bulk-report the worst offenders.
- 2. Update your pinned post. Use the safety-pin template at /badge — it lists your authoritative URLs and explicitly disclaims any DM about money, giveaways, or recovery.
- 3. Train your moderators. Send them recovery-scam warning signs and the 2026 scam phrases page.
- 4. Push out the "how to spot the fake me" thread once a quarter. The protect-your-followers page has a copy-paste template.
