Social Media and Open Source Reports

Screenshots taken casually are easy to attack. A social media report is only worth what it can survive, so every item is captured with its source URL, account identifier, and capture date, and preserved in a form that holds up when someone challenges it later.

Allen Morris Investigations produces documented open source reports for attorneys, insurers, businesses, and private clients in California and Arizona.

Call or text (949) 573-4624 for a confidential 30 minute consultation and conflict check, at no charge.

What the Report Contains

  • Publicly visible posts, photographs, comments, and account activity
  • Screenshots captured with source URLs, account identifiers, and capture times
  • Account attribution analysis where identity is in question
  • A timeline of relevant activity rather than a pile of images
  • Clear separation between what was observed and what it may mean

How This Work Is Conducted

Only material a member of the public could view is collected. No pretexting. No false identities. No connection or friend requests to gain access. No person is ever asked for account credentials.

Those limits are not squeamishness. A report that depends on improperly obtained material is worth very little when it is challenged, and it can taint the matter it was meant to support.

Where It Is Used

  • Insurance defense, where claimed limitations and observed activity may not match
  • Civil litigation, for statements, associations, and timelines
  • Due diligence, ahead of a transaction or a partnership
  • Probate and family matters, for locating people and establishing relationships

What This Service Does Not Cover

Social media reports are not provided for hiring, promotion, or retention screening. Reports used for employment decisions are regulated as consumer reports under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and California’s Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act, and belong with a consumer reporting agency that operates under those statutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you access private accounts or messages?

No. Only publicly available material is reviewed.

Will the subject know they were reviewed?

Not through any action taken here. Nothing is liked, followed, requested, or commented on.

How current will the report be?

Social media changes constantly, which is why every capture is dated. The report documents what was publicly visible at a specific moment, and says so.
