When to Run a Scam Check

A few minutes of verification can save you from a costly fraud. Run a check whenever someone you don't know in person is involved in money or trust:

The Universal Scam Red Flags

  1. Urgency and pressure: "Act now" or "the deal expires today" is designed to stop you thinking
  2. Unusual payment methods: Gift cards, crypto, and wire transfers are favored because they're irreversible
  3. Refusal to video call: Scammers avoid real-time verification at all costs
  4. Story doesn't add up: Inconsistent details, an unverifiable job, or a too-good-to-be-true offer
  5. They contacted you first: Unsolicited messages about jobs, prizes, or romance are high-risk
  6. Moving off-platform fast: Pushing to WhatsApp/Telegram to escape platform protections
Confirm Their Real Identity

Spokeo cross-references names, emails, and phone numbers with public records and social profiles — helping you confirm whether someone is who they claim before you trust them.

How to Verify Someone's Identity

1. Reverse image search their photos

Upload their profile photos to Google Images or TinEye. Stolen or AI-generated images appearing under other names is a major red flag.

2. Search their name, email, and number

Run the details on Lullar to see whether they have a consistent footprint across 170+ platforms — real people usually do; scammers often don't.

3. Check scam databases

Search the email, number, or phrase in their message plus the word "scam" — victims frequently post warnings on forums and review sites.

4. Verify the company or listing

Look up the business independently and contact it through its official website, not the number the person gave you.

5. Ask for live verification

A short video call defeats most romance and impersonation scams instantly.

Confirming Identity Through Public Records

When real money or safety is on the line, free checks may not be enough. A people-search service can match a name, email, or phone number against public records, address history, and possible linked profiles — letting you confirm the person actually exists and matches their story. Use this strictly for your own personal protection, never for employment, tenant, or credit screening.

Protecting Yourself While You Investigate

Researching a suspected scammer can mean opening links and visiting sites that try to capture your IP and location. A VPN masks your IP and encrypts your connection so a fraudster can't trace your activity back to you — especially important when clicking unfamiliar links or browsing on public WiFi.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I check if someone is a scammer for free?

Reverse-image-search their photos, search their name/email/number plus "scam," and look for a consistent footprint across platforms with Lullar. Ask for a live video call — scammers almost always refuse. These checks are free and catch most fraud.

What are the biggest signs someone is a scammer?

Urgency and pressure, requests for gift cards/crypto/wire transfers, refusing to video call, a story that doesn't add up, contacting you first about money, and pushing you to move off-platform. Any combination of these is a strong warning.

They sent me a photo — how do I know it's really them?

Reverse-image-search the photo to see if it appears elsewhere under a different name (a sign it's stolen). Then ask for a live video call or a selfie doing a specific gesture in real time, which AI images and stolen photos cannot fake.

Is it worth paying for a background or identity check on someone?

For significant money or personal safety, confirming identity through public records can be worthwhile. Use it only for personal protection — it is illegal to use such services for employment, tenant, or credit screening, which require specialized consent-based providers.

What should I do if I confirm someone is a scammer?

Stop all contact and don't send money. Report them to the platform, to local authorities, and to relevant fraud reporting bodies. If you already paid, contact your bank or payment provider immediately — some transactions can still be reversed.
