Catfish investigationIs the person you're talking to real?
You've been talking for weeks, but you've never met. If the photos, stories or excuses feel off, we can check if the person is real, before you lose time, money or trust.
- No proof needed
- No confrontation
- They never hear from us
- Free, private consultation
Is this what you're dealing with?
You don't need proof to reach out. A feeling is enough to start.
- “You've never met, and they always have a reason not to video chat.”
- “Their photos look a little too perfect.”
- “They asked for money, gift cards or crypto.”
- “Their story keeps changing.”
- “You want to know before you get more invested.”
What is a catfish investigation?
A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone else online. Sometimes it's for attention. Often it's a romance scam.
A catfish investigation checks if the person you're talking to is who they say. We look at where their photos appear, whether their name and story match public information, and whether they use other names.
Never send money to someone you haven't met. If they ask, that's a big red flag. You don't have to confront them. Get the facts first.
What a catfish investigation can show you.
- Are their photos really theirs?
- Is their name real?
- Do they live where they say?
- Do they show up in other places online under other names?
How a catfish investigation works.
Simple and private. You get a clear plan and price before anything starts.

We explain what can legally be investigated.
We tell you what's possible, what isn't, and what we suggest.
- 03
You decide whether to move forward.
You get a clear quote. No pressure. You don't have to decide today.

We investigate.
We check their photos, name and public online life, quietly and legally.

You receive the findings.
A clear report in plain English. Then you decide what you want to do.
What we can legally check.
Results depend on what's available. No one can honestly promise a specific result.
What we can look at
- Where their photos appear online
- Public profiles and usernames
- Public records tied to the name they gave
- Messages and details you share with us
What we never do
- Log in to their accounts
- Read their private messages
- Trick them with fake profiles
- Get your money back
If you sent money, report it to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (ic3.gov) and the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov).
What you get from your catfish investigation.
Plain English. No jargon. What you do next is up to you.
- A written report
- Whether their photos and name check out

Catfish investigation questions.
How can I tell if I'm being catfished?
Common signs: they won't video chat, their photos look like a model's, their story changes, and they ask for money. One sign isn't proof, but several together are worth checking.
They asked me for money. What should I do?
Don't send it. If you already did, report it to ic3.gov and reportfraud.ftc.gov, and call your bank.
Can you tell me who they really are?
Sometimes. If their real identity can be found legally, we can often find it. Results depend on what's public.
Will they know I checked?
No. We never contact them or tell them.
How is this different from a dating background check?
A catfish check asks if the person is real at all. A dating background check looks at the past of someone you've already met.
You don't have to keep guessing.
You don't have to confront anyone. Tell us what's going on, get the facts first, then decide. A real person will reply privately.
