REVIEWS

What people are saying.

He kept 'losing his phone' every time I got close. One search and I understood exactly why.

Jordan M.
Verified user

The photo had no location data, but it still placed his 'work trip' three states from where he said he was.

Priya S.
Verified user

Turned up a second profile under a fake name in the same city. I'm honestly still processing it.

Best five dollars I've ever spent. It ended the spiral and just gave me the truth.

HOW WE COMPARE

How SocialFinder beats the rest.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Warning signs include: refusing video calls, making excuses not to meet in person, having very few photos, photos that look professional or model-like, inconsistent stories about their life, asking for money, and their photos don't match their claimed location or lifestyle. Use our catfish detector to verify if their photos appear elsewhere online.

Our AI-powered facial recognition technology scans billions of images across the internet. Upload their photo, and we'll search for matching faces on social media, stock photo sites, modeling portfolios, and other profiles. If their photo appears under different names or on multiple dating profiles, they're likely catfishing.

Yes. Our technology scans major social platforms including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and LinkedIn. If someone stole photos from a real person's social media account to create a fake profile, we'll find the original source and show you the real account.

We specifically check stock photo databases, modeling portfolios, and image libraries. If their photos come from professional photoshoots, stock image sites like Shutterstock or Unsplash, or modeling agencies, we'll detect it and flag the source.

No. Our catfish detection is 100% anonymous and undetectable. The person will never receive any notification, alert, or indication that you've searched their photos. You can verify their identity completely discreetly.

You'll see where their photos really come from: the original social media profiles, stock photo sites, other dating app profiles using the same photos, news articles, or modeling portfolios. This reveals the real person (if photos are stolen) or proves the images are fake.

Our facial recognition has 85-95% accuracy for detecting stolen or recycled photos. If someone is using real photos of another person or stock images, we'll almost certainly catch it. The only limitation is if they're using completely original photos—though other red flags would still apply.

Stop all communication immediately, never send money or personal information, report their profile to the dating app or platform, block them on all channels, and warn mutual connections if applicable. If you've lost money, file a report with the FBI's IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center).

Stop wondering. Start knowing.

Upload one photo and see exactly who they are. Anonymous, and your photo is deleted within 24 hours.
