Common questions
At what point in talking to someone should I run a check like this?
There is no fixed rule, but before any request for money, before significant emotional investment, and definitely before a planned in-person meeting are all reasonable points to check.
Is running a face scan on someone's profile photo overkill for a normal first date?
It costs $15 and takes a few minutes, and it is checking public information for your own safety, not surveilling anyone. Most people who are who they say they are will never know or need to know a check was run.
What if the scan finds nothing at all?
Finding no matches is common and is not itself proof of anything, many real people simply are not widely indexed. It means the scan did not surface a red flag, not that one is impossible. Combine it with the other standard safety steps.
