Evidence guidance

Supporting materials are private by default and are not included automatically in a purchased search.

Identify the account

Provide a relevant message screenshot showing a visible phone number, or an account conversation showing its account identifier. A saved contact name alone is insufficient. An identifier alone does not prove who controlled the account or that a statement is true.
