    Social catfish.com is a great website. I was about to be hoped by catfish who posed as an interesting man. He worked on a rig in Norway and was an American citizen. The picture they used was a very handsome guy but thanks to a search on Social catfish.com I found he was just a fake. There may have been a few people involved as the memory was sketchy from one text to the other.. great website ! Thank you.

    Social Catfish was extremely helpful. I did a reverse image search and found out everything I wanted to know. I also enjoy watching the Youtube Scam videos. I highly recommend using their site.

    I was approached on a website for expats. The woman pictured was very good looking, but there are plenty of nice looking women around, so no red flag. She wanted to communicate via WhatsApp (always a red flag), and we commenced to having a very nice, and long, conversation.
    In the middle of the night, it hit me. This is way to good to be true.? I declined to use facial recognition on her photo. Turns out that the photo was of a former Penthouse pet, and porn actress. I wrote to them that xxxx
    Didn’t like them using her photo, and asked what part of Nigeria they were from. As a single person, facial recognition is a necessary evil.

    I found some useful information... But, the criminal searches were not correct. I have and knew people with records and wanted to make sure it would work. It did not.

    It’s a lot of money to get the same info you can get from Google. ******, ******, photo ********, even Google reverse image search offer much the same (****** is better) results and they’re all FREE.
    This is a ripoff, scammy site.
    They post YouTube videos and LARP as “investigators” who “research,” lol.
    It’s a data broker business with public access info. There’s no investigators or researchers anywhere near these fools.
    If you watch their YouTube channel, it looks fake. Actors.
    If these people are real, they’re, as a group, the stupidest Americans on earth.
    The clients have already given away thousands, so Social Catfish (what a ****** name, lol) figures why not take them for the last few hundreds they have.
    If you know how to use Google, there’s no reason you should ever even visit this site.
    If you don’t know how to use Google and do a reverse image search, why are you trying to meet someone on a dating site?
    Ask your grandkids to show you what you need to do to keep safe. And stop giving all your money away to non-existent men on non-existent oil rigs, gfs

    I was romance scammed. I wish I knew about Social Catfish abilities monthes ago. All the photos he used were of a Motivational Speaker. I notified him and I have filed with the FBI. I have paper trail, receipts and various addresses he the scammed used. I know U won't get back the money but I sure hope they,FBI, can track him down. I have learned a valuable lesson, think with head and not heart. I will use Social Catfish and recommend them.

    I paid for a trial membership and did a search. When I got the results I paid an additional $3.99 for premium service. They took my money but I didn't get to see any additional information. When I contacted the company, they told me that they checked and substantial information had been provided. I told them that it may have been produced, but I was not able to see it. My issue has been "resolved" according to them. I have still paid for a product that I didn't receive and am being ignored.
    Don't fall for this site's dishonest practices.

    Thank you Erin and Anna for your most attentive attention to the details and your opinions as they were most helpful in making my decision to step back from the affection the woman was showing me ..... Another lesson for a seventy year old.... Just wow....

    Very good service, they help me the find out that the person I was talking to was indeed a scammer. He used about 5 different men who have similar
    features pictures from all over the world to create a most convincing profile. Only to find out of 3 weeks of chatting that I was be scammed. Luckily my intuition told me that something was fish so i had my guards up. Then he started to asked for money and I immediately blocked him and reported him to Google because we took the conversation
    to Google chat. People be aware I met this SOB on "Words With Friends"
