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.

Impersonator scan

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

Open scanner

Follower & reply audit

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

Audit my replies

Continuous alerting

Add yourself to the watchlist. Email alert the moment a new impersonator of your handle is detected.

The 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.

Why creators use GACS

• Free forever for individual creators — no scan limits when you sign in.
• No data sold. No third-party ad tracking. Privacy policy.
• Verified-handle registry means your real account is allowlisted across the scanner.
• Public scam database surfaces confirmed reports so the next victim finds the warning via Google.
