FAQs About the Use of a Catfish Investigator
What is a catfish investigator, and why might I need one?
A catfish investigator specialises in uncovering the true identity of individuals who may be misrepresenting themselves online—often for financial gain or emotional manipulation. If you suspect you’re being deceived in an online relationship, our investigators help you find the truth, discreetly and legally.
Why should I use a professional catfish investigator instead of investigating on my own?
Our team is made up of ex-police officers with years of experience in intelligence gathering, fraud detection, and digital investigations. We know what to look for and how to trace digital footprints while staying within the bounds of the law. Personal investigations can be emotionally draining and potentially dangerous—let us handle it professionally.
What information do you need to start an investigation?
We typically begin with any details you can provide about the individual—names, photos, phone numbers, social media profiles, email addresses, or chat transcripts. The more information you provide, the more efficiently we can investigate.
How long does a catfish investigation take?
Every case is different, depending on the complexity and the digital trail left behind. However, we aim to provide initial findings within 3 to 5 working days. In urgent cases, we can offer accelerated services.
What if the person I'm speaking to is using fake profiles or stolen photos?
Our team uses advanced digital tools and investigative techniques to analyse images, verify identities, and uncover inconsistencies in online behaviour. We’ve dealt with countless cases involving fake profiles, and we know how to track the real person behind the screen.
Will I receive a report of the findings?
Yes. At the conclusion of the investigation, we provide a detailed, confidential report outlining our findings—whether the person is who they claim to be or not. This report can be used to make informed personal decisions or passed to authorities if needed.
What Happens During the Catfish Investigation?
1. Initial Consultation
You contact us with your concerns and any information you have about the person in question. We’ll ask for details such as names, photos, messages, phone numbers, and social media profiles. Everything you share is treated with absolute confidentiality.
2. Case Assessment
Our ex-police investigators assess the information to determine the best approach. We’ll outline what’s realistically achievable and agree on a plan of action tailored to your case.
3. Digital Investigation Begins
We begin our in-depth investigation using open-source intelligence (OSINT), social media analysis, reverse image searches, and background checks. Our investigators are trained to spot red flags and patterns typical of online deception.
4. Identity Verification
We work to verify whether the person is who they say they are. This may include checking for fake profiles, cross-referencing details across platforms, and identifying any use of stolen images or fabricated backstories.
5. Ongoing Updates
Throughout the process, we keep you informed with regular updates. We aim to deliver initial findings within a few working days, depending on the complexity of the case.
6. Final Report
Once the investigation is complete, we provide you with a clear, professional report summarising our findings. If deception is confirmed, the report may include real identity information (where legally possible) and evidence that may be useful if you choose to take further action.
7. Support & Next Steps
We’re here to advise on what to do next—whether that means cutting contact, reporting to law enforcement, or pursuing further legal action. Our ex-police team understands the emotional impact these cases can have and offers supportive, practical guidance.
