Questions about someone you met online? Here’s what this check can tell you.
Look at what they ask for and how they avoid being checked. The FTC's warning signs include moving the chat off the app quickly, reasons they can't meet or video call, a story about being deployed or working offshore, and any request for money, gift cards or crypto. Paste the profile or chat into Fake Profile Checker to see which of these appear, quoted from your text.
No. This free check reads what they wrote and what they ask for. To see whether their photos appear online under other names, or which accounts use their username or number, run a reverse image, username or phone search in DeepSearch. Those searches run in your account and label every match with its source.
It shows the photo from a profile link, but doesn't analyse it, and the result never claims a photo is real or fake. A reverse image search shows where a photo appears online, which the FTC suggests for checking a love interest you met online. The result can start that search with their profile photo.
DeepSearch does not save the text, screenshot or result to an account, database or result cache. Text and screenshots are sent to our AI providers to perform the check. Link addresses, without the part after a question mark, go to Google Web Risk and abuse.ch URLhaus to check threat lists. Keep this tab open to retain your result, or use Clear to remove it.
If you sent money, contact your bank or payment app now using the number on your card or in its app, and report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. If someone threatens to share images, stop replying, don't pay and keep the messages. If the images were taken when you were under 18, NCMEC's Take It Down can help; adults can use StopNCII.org.
Yes. Fake Profile Checker is free and needs no account. A short per-visitor rate limit keeps it available for everyone.
In FTC reports, romance scammers move the chat off the dating app quickly, call it true love early, have a reason they can't meet or video call, such as a military posting or an offshore oil rig, and eventually ask for money, gift cards or crypto, or offer to teach you investing.
Ask for a short live video call and check whether their photos appear online under another name with a reverse image search. Repeated excuses not to video chat, and photos that turn up on other profiles, are the clearest signs.
Report and block the profile on the app or site where you met. In the US, report the scam at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. If you sent money, contact your bank or payment app first, using the number on your card or in its app.
