    I was so glad I found your site. For a little more than a week I had been communicating with someone I believed to be an attractive 41-year-old Israeli widow who is doing humanitarian work in the Dallas area as an employee of the WHO. She (or whomever) quickly convinced me that she had found her soulmate in me, and, that, together we would bring happiness to each other. Within 4 days of messaging her on Facebook Messenger, she was already asking me to swear on Oath of Love on the Bible and travel with her to Israel to settle her parents’ estate next month.
    The kicker came when she randomly asked me to send her money to help buy personal feminine products. She was insistent that I go to a bitcoin ATM machine and use the QR Code she sent me. Her reason for needing the money was that her Israeli bank account was on temporary hold due to a security breach, and her ATM card would not work. I unfriended her on Facebook and blocked her account, but she contacted me that evening by email with a faked sense of worry about my well-being.
    That’s when I learned about Social Catfish and submitted three of the many photos that she had sent me. All of the photos she sent were decent, none of them obscene. One of the photos I submitted to Social Catfish had her dog in the foreground, so the search returned a lot of matching dog pictures of all different breeds, but the two photos of her face quickly revealed that all of the images had been stolen from a Mexican American actress in San Diego. Social Catifish helped me affirm what I had already discovered, and it gave me the assurance that I did the right thing in blocking this individual from doing me further harm. The $5.99 short term subscription price was well worth the money spent. Thank you.

    They are helping combat these scammers and educating many not to get scammed. Hurts to watch many woman ending up homeless with no means. I am blessed I have my own home and that can't be taken from me. My son would have to sign up on that and he would never let anyone take that from me.

    I completed the opt out option on their website and even received a confirmation email. It has been months now and my personal information is still not deleted from their website.
