Being a victim of identity theft I believe this catfish llc is one of the reasons I'm a victim! No matter how many times the company that I hired to remove my personal and myself emailing them to opt me out! Catfish data brokers will still resubmit my information. I've been dealing with this matter for 15 months! Time to hire a lawyer

I uploaded a picture before sign in up. The site shown 39 results from that image. I was directed to pay for 3 trial so I did. When I signed in to see my results, for my surprise " 0 matches" found. Then I was encouraged to pay $15.99 for another feature that "will get the results" from my search. Then they have 3 bars for low, medium and high risk. However, a new page showed me that my search is a "low risk" stating that the image I uploaded was found on "adult content website". So, another pop up window showed up to keep on adding or opening "features". Don't wast your time and money. You will find better results in other websites, certainly this one is not one of them.

Very dishonest
October 26, 2023

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 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.

Scam
July 27, 2023

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

Using this ap I had to upgrade twice in order to see what I was looking for. And indeed I was being catfished. However, I canceled my subscription immediately and stated the reason that I found what I was looking for. They billed me a monthly premium about 10 days later and stated the reason is I did not cancel all 3 subscription. Why? I only have one account should I have to cancel 3 times

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

Ripoff artists
July 8, 2023

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.

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

Best in the business
February 27, 2023

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.

Social Catfish promised the best facial recognition search to identify the person in the picture. Its first page spends a lot of time with bogus scanning of the photograph and different databases (which could have been searched in nanoseconds) leading you on to believe it's performing a comprehensive search. Then it wants money to show you the results. Promises for a small fee, you get this report and five days of unlimited searches. But when you pay the money, all it does is show you some possible similar images and then wants you to pay additional fees for each little bit of additional information -- name, email, address, social sites, etc. I searched a mid-twenties young white mail. Some of the "similar" pictures shown to me were partial faces, older men, and even a black male. For all I know, the quality of the additional information items for sale is just as worthless as the reverse image search. I got better results with a free Google Images reverse search.

I have to say that this site can be frustrating and yes, they certainly do charge extra even after you've paid the monthly fee, I have the bank statements and search history to prove it. That being said, its a site to warn about potential "catfish" so it stands to reason they'd soak you for money just like a catfish would. After all they say that humans start to look like their dogs after while.

Great Reverse Image Search
May 26, 2021

I've used social catfish off and on over the years. It is a great tool, especially when you are dating online. They seem to have an accurate search feature that will show you if the image you have is used anywhere else online. The online dating scene can be a little daunting, but this helps for sure!

A total waste of money!
February 12, 2021

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.

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 didn't work for me
September 3, 2023

I was looking for information on a girl I met. Did a reverse image search. Cocial Catfish didn't find anything on her. I used her Facebook profile foto, twitter profile photo and LinkedIn profile photo and it didn;t even return those. Each seach returned about 1500 other similar photos but in my opinion, this does not work. I then did a search on myself. Nothing. Same, used my Facebook profile photo. Nothing. Not hits. Returned about 1500 other photos, nothing even similar to how I look. Im not Social Catfish is actually legit.

It was an amazing, eye opening experience. The knowledge that they possess to obtain information when everyone else had failed is exceptional. The whole telling my story was handled so professionally and with kindness. I won't be online dating EVER again. Social Catfish's is hands down fabulous to work with.

No help
April 26, 2023

I am looking for specific pictures taken of me at walmart dollar tree and in my bathroom. I asked about assistance and i am told for a fee i can do a reverse lookup only if the pictures were posted on their website. If these postings are private which they are then i would have to pay another fee for them to locate then what? I want the pictures removed extracted. These men several maintenance guys an EMS worker in Port Huron and a car salesman in Grand Blanc to stop posting! I need the site that's the purpose of the search. No real assistance just lip service. This is no more than a google search except you are paying for jacked up service! And clearly taking advantage desperate people shame on you!

Google reverse image search is free and very easy to use. Just Google how to do it and even an inexperienced computer person can easily do it. Their site makes it no easier, at all, bc it couldn't be any easier. Whitepages.com is free to check address/phone number. Freecarrierlookup.com is free to check if a number is an internet burner number or a phone number. Grabify.link is free, to easily create an IP tracker and send to get someone's location. They use these tools in their videos but act like they have special detective capabilities by using these free resources. They don't. Then they set up this site, socialcatfish.com, w/ a countdown timer & exorbitant prices to push you to buy a useless service. Don't fall for it.
