Upload Images
Submit up to five profile pictures together with suspicious profile links and the claimed name or alias.
Paid Image Intelligence Service
Trace the Picture. Check the Profile.
Upload one or more profile photos and suspicious profile links. Scam Alert combines secure reverse-image tracing, internal duplicate-image intelligence and analyst review to assess whether a profile may be using reused or misrepresented images.
How the Service Works
Image matches are evidence signals. They are reviewed in context before any customer-facing conclusion is issued.
Trace Reuse
We check Scam Alert's internal image intelligence and approved reverse-image providers where configured.
Analyst Review
An analyst reviews matching pages, duplicate profiles, conflicting identities and relevant behavioural evidence.
Receive Findings
Your Scam Alert profile receives a written authenticity-risk assessment and practical next steps.

Image Trace in 60 Seconds
See how a suspicious photograph can be traced across reused profiles and then reviewed by a Scam Alert analyst.

- Trace image reuse across available sources.
- Review matches and profile inconsistencies.
- Receive a written risk assessment.
Useful Risk Signals
- The same image appearing under different names or on multiple profiles.
- An established source account that appears to pre-date the suspicious profile.
- Repeated image reuse across scam reports or prior Scam Alert cases.
- Conflicting identity claims, account history or profile details.
- Evidence of financial solicitation, romantic manipulation or other scam behaviour.
- Unusual account patterns considered only as context, never as proof on their own.
What This Is Not
Scam Alert does not use this service to identify a person through biometric facial recognition, locate someone, bypass a platform's security or publish submitted photographs automatically.
Friend-list composition, posting style or provocative content may contribute context, but they are never treated as conclusive proof of a scam by themselves.
Privacy First: uploaded images are stored privately and are visible only to authorised Scam Alert staff working on the case.
Why Image Tracing Matters
One photo can surface across several identities.
A useful investigation does more than find a matching picture. We compare the likely source, duplicate profiles, dates, names and the behaviour surrounding the account before issuing a risk assessment.
- Find earlier or more established uses of the image.
- Map duplicate profiles using the same photographs.
- Compare claimed identities and profile history.
- Review requests for money or other scam indicators in context.
Designed for Real Catfishing Cases
A single reverse-image result can be misleading. We look at the pattern across images, profiles, dates and supporting evidence.
Original-Source Candidate
Where evidence supports it, the analyst can identify an earlier or more established page that appears to be the likely source of reused imagery.
Duplicate Profile Mapping
Multiple accounts using the same photographs can be recorded as related profile matches for the investigation.
Scam Alert Internal Matching
Submitted images are fingerprinted so future cases can surface exact or near-duplicate images already seen in Scam Alert's verified casework.
