How to Preserve Telegram & WhatsApp Evidence

Chats are often the strongest proof, but only if reviewers can see who said what, when, and why it mattered.

Export chats, screenshot key messages, and save payment instructions before they disappear.

Messaging evidence is frequently deleted or edited after victims begin questioning. Our reports capture and index chat evidence into structured timelines with identity verification, ensuring reviewers can follow the sequence of promises, instructions and payments.

Step by step

1

Capture identity first

  • Save the handle/username and profile page
  • Screenshot the top of the chat
  • Record group/channel details
  • Note any identity claims made
2

Export and screenshot

  • Export full chats when possible
  • Screenshot key promises and fee demands
  • Capture address instructions and threats
  • Save messages showing urgency or pressure
3

Save payment instructions

  • Bank details and wallet addresses shared
  • QR codes and payment links
  • PDFs, images and voice notes
  • Record when each instruction was sent
4

Build a mini index

  • List key messages captured with dates
  • Note what each screenshot shows
  • Create a navigation map for your evidence
  • Link messages to payments where possible

I'd been going back and forth with support teams for months. Their structured report answered most questions in advance. It saved me time, energy and a lot of stress.
Isabella N.
August 2025
I contacted them at a really low point. They turned my chaos of messages into a clean, evidence-based case. That report helped me feel less powerless and more in control again.
Rachel D.

English legal terms are not easy for me. They rewrote my explanations in simple but precise language. The report made me feel represented, not blamed.
