Synthetic Media Forensics

Deepfake Investigation Services for AI Fraud, Voice Cloning & Online Impersonation

When you suspect digital evidence has been fabricated, we provide the forensic analysis required to prove manipulation, stop extortion, and trace the origin.

Are You Dealing With AI Impersonation or a Deepfake?

Someone Sent You a Suspicious Video

You received a video that appears to show a spouse, employee, executive, or public figure saying or doing something damaging or out of character.

Your Voice Has Been Cloned

Fraudsters are using AI voice synthesis to imitate you or a family member to request urgent wire transfers, authorize payments, or extract data.

Fake Images Are Being Shared

AI-generated, highly realistic photographs are being used against you for extortion, harassment, reputation attacks, or explicit 'revenge porn'.

Someone Is Pretending To Be You

Synthetic identities and AI-generated profile photos are actively being used to create fake accounts, deceive victims, and destroy your reputation online.

Someone Made A Fake Video Of Me - What Should I Do?

If you are the victim of a deepfake video, fake audio recording, or synthetic image attack, do not panic. Take these immediate steps to protect yourself and preserve evidence:

  • 1

    Save the Original File

    Download the media immediately. Do not rely on links, as the attacker may delete the post. You need the actual file for forensic analysis.

  • 2

    Preserve Metadata

    Take screenshots of where the media was posted, including timestamps, usernames, profile URLs, and any accompanying text or threats.

  • 3

    Do Not Edit the Media

    Do not attempt to enhance, crop, or alter the file yourself. Modifying the file destroys the algorithmic artifacts we need to prove it is a fake.

  • 4

    Do Not Pay the Extortionist

    If you are being blackmailed, paying ensures they will return for more. Cut off communication and secure your accounts.

  • 5

    Seek Forensic Analysis

    Contact a digital investigation firm immediately. You need a certified forensic report proving the media is synthetic to present to platforms, lawyers, or employers.

Common Cases We Investigate

As generative AI becomes more accessible, we are seeing a massive surge in sophisticated synthetic fraud targeting individuals and corporations.

Executive Voice Clone Fraud

Also known as "Vishing" (Voice Phishing) or deepfake CEO fraud. Criminals use AI to clone the voice of a CEO, CFO, or high-ranking executive. They then call subordinate employees - often in the finance department - requesting an urgent, highly confidential wire transfer to an offshore account. Because the voice sounds identical to the executive, the employee complies. Our investigators perform spectral audio forensics to detect the algorithmic generation, providing the evidence needed to halt transfers and trace the attackers.

AI Blackmail and Sextortion

Attackers take innocent, public photos of a victim from social media and use AI software to generate highly realistic, explicit "deepfake" images or videos. They then contact the victim, threatening to send the fabricated media to their employer, family, and friends unless a cryptocurrency ransom is paid. We assist victims by forensically proving the images are fake, tracing the crypto demands, and deploying OSINT tactics to unmask the extortionist.

Fake Relationship & Romance Scams

Modern romance scammers no longer rely on easily traceable stolen photos. They now use AI to generate endless streams of unique, highly realistic photos and videos of a synthetic persona. They build trust with victims over months before requesting money for "medical emergencies" or "lucrative investments." We utilize advanced digital tracing and artifact analysis to prove the person does not exist, saving victims from devastating financial loss.

Fake Evidence Cases

AI-generated media is increasingly being weaponized in legal disputes, divorce proceedings, and workplace investigations. Malicious actors submit fake text message screenshots, cloned voice recordings, or altered surveillance videos to falsely incriminate the opposing party. When a client says, "I never said that" or "I was never there," we step in to mathematically prove the evidence has been synthetically generated or tampered with.

Political or Corporate Disinformation

Competitors or malicious actors distribute synthetic media designed to manipulate audiences, crash stock prices, or damage corporate reputations. A fake video of a CEO making racist remarks or an audio clip of a politician admitting to a crime can spread globally in minutes. Our rapid-response teams analyze the media instantly and provide the definitive forensic reporting required by PR teams to kill the narrative and reassure stakeholders.

Signs a Video May Be AI Generated

While high-end deepfakes require software to detect, many generated videos contain visual 'glitches' that the human eye can spot if you know what to look for:

  • Unnatural Blinking: The subject blinks too much, too little, or the eyelids look unnatural.
  • Lip-Sync Inconsistencies: The words spoken do not perfectly align with the mouth movements, especially on complex syllables.
  • Lighting Mismatches: The reflections in the eyes do not match the environment, or shadows fall in impossible directions.
  • Distorted Facial Movements: The skin texture looks slightly blurred, or teeth/hair edges look artificial when the head moves.
  • Background Anomalies: Text in the background is gibberish, or static objects morph slightly.
*Note: Spotting these signs is not enough to prove fabrication to a platform or court. You still require a certified forensic media analysis to provide definitive proof.

AI Voice Clone Investigations

If you are searching for "fake voice recording" or "someone copied my voice," you are dealing with AI voice cloning. With just a tiny sample of audio, scammers can manipulate pitch, tone, and cadence to sound exactly like you.

Our audio forensics lab utilizes advanced spectral analysis to detect these attacks. We look for:

  • Algorithmic Breath Patterns: AI struggles to replicate the natural breathing pauses of human speech.
  • Frequency Cutoffs: Synthetic audio often lacks the high-frequency acoustic data present in organic voice recordings.
  • Robotic Cadence: Subtle robotic inflections at the end of sentences or during emotional delivery.
