Part 57: Why Email Evidence Matters | Redacted Privacy & Legal Power of Timestamps

Part 57 of the Justice DIY series explains why emails, timestamps, and official communications are powerful evidence in fraud cases.

Even though in this video I redacted my own name and email address for privacy, the communication itself remains valid legal evidence. What counts in court are the headers, recipients, subject lines, and timestamps — elements that prove authenticity and show when fraud was reported.

Emails are more than messages. They are legal instruments that establish timelines, demonstrate notice, and hold providers or agencies accountable when they ignore certified reports. By saving emails, preserving attachments like WHOIS lookups or wallet traces, and documenting case references, victims can build a paper trail that cannot be erased.

This episode is a guide for victims: how to archive emails, protect privacy, and use time-stamped communications as part of your evidence strategy.
