Discovered the guy I was just getting to really develop feelings for and my son felt for my own safety i should verify who the heck he is and thank God I did bc socialcatfish.com verified him as a scammer! Saved me a lot of headaches. Thanks socialcatfish! Love y'all. I only cancelled bc i no longer need their services but I'll gladly go back if I ever meet someone I'm interested in again. But it's not likely I will. So I went ahead n parted but if I ever need them again I'll be back. Thank you!
I wouldn't recommend them for any serious sleuthing or related. They're not necessary scammers or bad ppl, but they exaggerate their capabilities for uncovering scammers & catfishers as a means of building up a reputation. Their website...see the other reviews for yourself. Google reverse image search is much, much better.
I went to Social Catfish to check on a person who was scamming me. Unfortunately I fell victim to the sites own scam.
After paying $5.99 charge for just one time search they charged me twice. Then proceeded to to charge me Again twice for Subscription of
$27.48
$26.99
Even I clearly indicated in my email
That I do not Wish to enroll in a Subscription.
It's a total fraudulent Site stay away.
They've gone to crap. Twice I tried signing up and both times took my money and won't let me log on.
Contacted there customer service and they were not helpful. I've had this before but now they just want your money and that's it. Find another app.
Don't bother wasting your time. And don't give them your email you will not get any results to you pay them alot of money.
Tip for consumers:
Don't waste your time on this website.

Internet photo identification verification. SocialCatfish.com
Love them. They found the guy I was wanting to get involved with after 16 years of not dating it was probably a good idea considering idk who to trust these days. They found him n identified him as a scammer with several aliases. So helpful. They saved me from making a huge mistake. Thanks socialcatfishing.com!
I would be in a world of hurt if not for Social Catfish. They have enabled me to uncover scammer after scammer. I belong to dating sites and investigate nearly all those I have met on them. Those I did not investigate left our chat before I found it necessary. Sometimes just telling the person you are talking to that you use Social Catfish is enough to curtail their interest. I highly recommend this site for all the other issues, criminal and personal, that one might have with whomever they are dealing.
This is a fantastic service. I used the reverse image search tool with zero expectations, with a random photo of myself that had never been uploaded to the internet, and little did i know it also had thefacial recognition matching and it found a profile I had on another website that I really forgot existed. I really don't like the idea of people scraping my data, and this tool was instrumental in finding out the very last place where my face had been posted online.
Tip for consumers:
I really wasn't expecting anything but its the real deal.
Products used:
I used the reverse image search, reverse phone number search, and the address reverse lookup.
I purchased a report form Social Catfish to find out what websites my husband was associated with. The data was as described. Thank you for your professionalism.
Tip for consumers:
The service has a lot more data than I needed and when I was struggling to figure out the user interface their support was very kind and patient with me and so nice to talk to.
Products used:
I used the reverse image search functionality, and using my husbands email address I was able to find out a list of websites he was associated.

I was trying to find out if I was being scammed on Instagram and went through so many different sites with no success. Than I came across Social Catfish and got instant results. So easy and fast and I want to thank CHESCA for being so helpful and nice. Thank you very much. Kelly C

They do not let you do a free search before you sign up. They are going to want your money upfront before they give you any results and after they get your email so they can spam you. Very disappointed, when I watch these guys on YouTube they seem so legit and honest. Raking it in but can't give you one free $#*!ing email search.
I recommend it come across it by a commercial what's curious try it out it was good unfortunately had to cancel because my job is paying for the same service but we're definitely use it if I lost the one that I have for my job which is a different company but does the similar thing it is definitely a must have and the customer service representative was very helpful Erika Erica I hope I spelled her name right but she was very helpful go to customer service I give her Five Star Plus

It will initially say you have many matches for online content- then when you pay it magically becomes zero matches. I even used someone who is in modeling and advertisement and the socialcatfish site couldn't even locate the exact same modeling photo that was on the first page of google images The site is a waste of money and they refuse to give refunds despite not redering services
This site is absolute garbage. These people are the catfish you should beware of. I couldn't get any data I looked up to come up whatsoever an when I tried to cancel before the trial was over they still charged me for a full subscription an they refuse to refund me even tho I clearly stopped using them as soon as I saw that it was useless. Do not throw your money away on these jerks when you try to call to get refunded the first thing that comes up is a recording automatically talking about canceling.but you never talk to anybody. This is a scam an I will be reporting to the better buisness burea. You guts are jerks an should be ashamed
Tip for consumers:
This is a total ripoff an they refuse to refund me

Nothing cuz it's a scam
The website itself is a scam, i paid for subscription but i couldn't have access to any service in the website, when i contacted them to check tgey said that they cannot find my credentials despite they debited money two times! The emails i receive from customer service are repetitive and asking same questions everytime and rewinding! Total scam, i don't know how to get my money back or how to stop them from debiting money from my account!
This is a total fraud service! Please dont waste you breath here, they charge you for nothing and the results are pathetic
I payed for a report 3 times and was told to wait up to 24 hrs and checked my bank and they took the money all 3 times what the hell is up with that.im very $#*!ty and don't know that I would use them again be careful and if u don't need your report soon.thwn they may work for u?
Do not waste your time and money, they never get anything right and no matter what type of subscription you pay for, its never enough, they always hit you up for more money to see no additional information that they claim to have.
Do not believe any of the positive reviews you read, I I guarantee you they are written by employees or people who are hired to say good things about this ripoff company.
I became suspicious the girlfriend I met online might not be telling me the truth and there were beginning to be several red flags, so I hired an investigator with Social Catfish. Bri Fernandes did an excellent job taking the information I provided to do an in-depth investigation. The results only confirmed what I suspected, but will be useful as evidence in filing reports with various agencies including the FBI.
The report was detailed on how she collected the information that either confirmed or denied suspected activity. I will also say, that Bri had access to software through her job that allowed her to do a deeper dive into my "girlfriend" than a typical citizen could obtain. I am no amateur when it comes to tech and investigations, but there was only so far I could go on my own. I highly recommend social catfish investigations if you suspect being catfished or scammed. At a minimum, it will give you the information you may not want to hear, but need to. At a maximum, the person(s) responsible might be brought to justice by pursuing legal action so this does not happen to anyone else.
Again, thank you Bri Fernandes for taking the time to thoroughly investigate my case explaining the process to me, and willing to answer any of questions.
Paid the initial trial fee which should have unlocked all of the search options like criminal, businesses, etc and it unlocks nothing. Already being hit up for more money. I am going to ask for my money back, there are other much much better sites out there like Truth Finder that opens all of their resources to you. NOW I know what the videos on youtube are all about, a lead in to this underperforming search engine that doesn't work unless you shell out loads for ever tier of searches. No thanks!

truthfinder,.com is much better.

I have been using Social catfish since I joined the dating scene. I have been dealing with Makayla who has been absolutely wonderful. She helped me out with my searches. In some instances we had success but other times we didn't. However, she goes over and above to provide the best customer service! Thank you Makayla! Liz from Canada

Social media service - dating website support to find people
A totally useless site, save your money! I did a background check on MYSELF, a friend, and then the person I was interested in doing a background check on. All the information I received was basically; known phone numbers and possible addresses, nothing else! NO other information or pictures, even though all 3 of us had been on dating sites for over a year? I could have found the same information by using my telephone directory online.
Tip for consumers:
WARNING...Google socialcatfish.com online before being scammed.
Hi Mark - We don't do background checks at all. We help aggregate public information online. So, if someone was private on another website (eg. Their pictures), we wouldn't have it on our site. While we make every effort to make sure that the data is always up to date, it's always a work in progress. Most people are pretty happy with the amount of information we have, though.
It takes forever for this site to pull up anything. You spend more time waiting than recieving information.
Heres a quick fix. Just use a reverse image search app. Done in less than 5 seconds. Will tell you all you wanna know. No fee, no wait. Just done.
Human brain works faster than catfish does. Catfish spends more time searching for the joke instead just saying it's a joke. Reverse image finds now. You decide.
Tip for consumers:
Do the simple no cost research yourself.. sinchey
Paid to get details on info I found on bloody Google search... didn't even get the info I found on fkng Google, then asked to pay more to get FREE info & told only way to cancel is to CALL USA (14-15hr dif)... all just to try n search my own (very rare) name, trying to find who's using my identity so I can prove it's not me!
INFURIATED!
Products used:
Nothing I couldn't get for free from basic internet search...but PAID to get more detailed info than basic name & alias search.
Then asked to pay MORE to get info I'd already gotten for free.
They billed my card twice for the same service in the same day. Then after I canceled they nulled my debit card again this time for almost $30 dollars! Put my money back on my card and lose my name!
Thank you, Elizabeth for being a valued SocialCatfish.com customer. We'll pass the good feedback back to Makayla. We agree with you, she is definitely wonderful!
