When talking to people online and swiping on dating apps<\/a>, we often wonder if the person we are communicating with is who they say they are. Maybe they aren’t wanting to video chat because “their camera is broken” or they asked for money to help with something they really need. Either way, our gut feeling senses that something isn’t right. On the other hand, they have a profile picture and have sent numerous pictures of themselves, so how can they be fake? In this article, we examine how to identify scammer pictures using Social Catfish<\/a>‘s reverse search platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n

  1. Reverse search for their name.<\/strong> If you reverse search<\/a> for their name and the image pops up under that similar name, then you know that it’s most likely a real person. However, if nothing shows up for their name, then its a sign you may be talking to a scammer.<\/li>\n
  2. Reverse search for their email address.<\/strong> If the name and image pop-up while reverse searching<\/a> their email, then chances are you are talking to a real person. However, if nothing pops up for the email address, that’s usually a red flag.<\/li>\n
  3. Reverse search for their phone number.<\/strong> If the phone number is associated with the name and image, then it’s most likely a real phone number. However, if it’s associated with a VOIP<\/a> line with no name, that means you are most likely talking to a scammer.<\/li>\n
  4. Reverse search for their social media username.<\/strong> If you have their social media username, you can search<\/a> for it using our platform and see if their image comes up under that same username.<\/li>\n
  5. Reverse search for their image.<\/strong> By directly putting their image in our search bar<\/a>, you can see exactly where their picture comes from. If there are many results for that same image from different people, chances are you are talking to a scammer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
