Romance and dating scam investigations in Nashville
Before you send money, move in, or introduce them to your kids, find out whether the person you met online is who they say they are. Most scams fall apart under a careful identity check.
Confidential. Ask your first questions without giving your name.

Romance scams work because they feel real. The scammer is patient, attentive and consistent, until a sudden emergency requires money, gift cards or cryptocurrency. Some never meet in person; others are real people hiding a criminal or marital history.
We verify identity first: whether the name, photos, job and location hold up. Then, if needed, we look at court history, marriages, and whether the story matches the records.
Red flags we hear about every week
- They always have a reason video calls fail
- A job overseas, on an oil rig, in the military or at sea
- Requests for money, gift cards, crypto or help “moving funds”
- Photos that seem professional or appear under other names online
- Pressure to move the conversation off the dating app quickly
- A story that shifts when you ask simple questions
How we verify someone
- Reverse image and profile analysis to see where the photos really come from
- Identity confirmation against public records and stated locations
- Court, marriage and divorce records where the person has lived
- Employment and business claims checked against available sources
- A clear read on whether you are dealing with a real person, and who
What you receive

- Recommended next steps, including reporting if money was lost
Tennessee law that matters here
Stop sending more, keep every message and payment record, and report it to local police and the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (ic3.gov). Be wary of anyone who promises to “recover” lost funds for a fee.
We research public and lawfully available records. We do not hack accounts or obtain phone or bank records.

Questions about this service
Romance scam questions
Will they find out I checked?
No. Records research and image analysis do not alert the person.
Can you get my money back?
We cannot promise recovery and you should be cautious of anyone who does. We can document who you were dealing with to support police and federal reports.
Is it paranoid to check someone I like?
It is common sense. A real person with nothing to hide passes quickly, and you can move forward with confidence.
