Stop scammers from draining your followers.

Creator protection is continuous monitoring for impersonator accounts, clone handles, and scam replies that target your followers. GACS scans X daily for accounts using your name, profile photo, or a one-character handle swap, emails you the moment a clone appears, and gives your audience a public verification badge plus a one-tap scanner they can use before trusting any DM.

Activate a free GACS Shield for your handle, pin a verification post that lists your only handle and what you will never DM about, add your handle to the watchlist for instant clone alerts, and share the /social-scan link so followers can verify suspicious DMs in seconds.

Free Creator Shield gets you weekly impersonator scans, email alerts on new clones, a public verification badge page, and copy/paste report templates — forever, no card. X Scanner Pro ($19/mo) adds daily deep scans, 30 follower scans/mo, pre-filled X report packets, and PDF evidence bundles. Shield Platinum ($59/mo) adds Identity Protection Brand, 7 protected handles across any platform, daily auto-sweeps, watermarked official complaints, and concierge takedown support — we run the takedowns for you.

Average detection time is under 4 hours from when the clone account is created. Alerts are sent by email and into your in-app Notification Center with the handle, a screenshot, and a one-tap report link.

No. GACS only needs your public handle. We do not request OAuth, posting permissions, or DM access — protection runs entirely on publicly visible signals.

Every protected creator gets a public status page at gacs.app/shield/<handle> showing monitoring status, verified-creator badge, and how many impersonators have been detected. Followers can check it in 5 seconds to confirm an account claiming to be you is really you.

Free and Pro Shield give you fast, high-quality report packets you submit yourself — the free tier includes copy/paste templates and Pro pre-fills the platform form with evidence. Shield Platinum ($59/mo) is our done-for-you tier: our team runs daily auto-sweeps across your 7 protected handles, files watermarked official complaints, and manages concierge escalation to platform trust & safety.

Anyone whose audience can be DM-scammed in their name: crypto and finance creators, streamers, podcasters, journalists, founders, photographers, and gaming creators all see clone accounts within hours of going viral.

Open the GACS alert email and click the one-tap report link — it pre-fills the X impersonation form with the suspect handle and evidence. You can also go directly to the suspect profile, tap the three dots, choose Report, then select 'They're pretending to be me' or 'They're pretending to be someone I know'. Share the public evidence page from your alert to speed up the review.

First, collect screenshots of the fake profile, handle, and any scam messages. Then scan your handle at gacs.app/social-scan to find related clones. Report the account to the platform, pin a verification post so your real followers know the difference, and activate a GACS Shield so you are alerted the next time a new impersonator appears.

Check for a one-character handle swap, a missing verified badge, a newer account age, or a profile photo copied from the real creator. Real creators rarely DM first about giveaways, investments, recovery, or paid partnerships. Use the GACS /social-scan link to verify the account against the creator's official handle before trusting any DM.

Viral posts create a window of high trust and distraction. Scammers reply quickly with fake support handles, recovery DMs, and giveaway links because followers are already engaged and less likely to double-check a handle. The spike in attention lets clones hide in fast-moving reply threads.

Yes. Most impersonators never tag or message the real creator. They operate in replies and DMs, so the creator may only find out after a follower reports losing money. Continuous monitoring is the only way to catch clones before they scale.

Report from inside the fake account using 'They're pretending to be me,' attach 2-3 screenshots of the copied bio, PFP, and any scam DM, then link to your public GACS Shield badge page as proof of the real handle. Reports with a verification page attached are actioned significantly faster than plain reports.

Send them the GACS incident response checklist: freeze the payment method or wallet, screenshot every message with timestamps, file with the platform and local cyber-crime unit, and never engage 'recovery' DMs (they are always the second scam). Then activate a Shield so any follow-on impersonators are flagged the moment they appear.

No cost, no card, and no X OAuth. You create a free GACS account with an email or Google sign-in, add your public handle, and monitoring starts immediately. You keep full control and can remove the handle at any time.
