Instagram Impersonator Digital Forensics Investigation

I am pursuing an active case of online impersonation on Instagram. A fraudulent profile is publishing my personal information and harassing my contacts. The account has already been reported to Instagram and a formal complaint is on file with the cyber-crime authorities, but I now need hard, defensible evidence that ties the profile to a real-world individual.

Your assignment is to uncover:
• The impersonator’s true identity and contact details
• Their most probable location and originating IP data
• Any connections, linked handles, or associated online accounts that help establish motive or a wider campaign

I will supply screenshots, message logs, and reference numbers for the existing reports. You will be expected to conduct OSINT, network forensics, metadata analysis, and, where possible, correlation of open records to pinpoint the perpetrator. All findings must be packaged in a concise report suitable for law-enforcement follow-up, complete with timestamps, source URLs, and methodology notes that allow an investigator to reproduce the trail.

Preferred background: digital forensics, incident response, or cyber-investigation work with social-media cases—especially Instagram. Please outline relevant tools or techniques you plan to employ (e.g., Maltego, WHOIS, subpoena guidance, or log correlation scripts) and any prior successes in unmasking social media impostors.

I am ready to begin immediately and can respond quickly to requests for additional information, affidavits, or data pulls from my end.
