CATFISH CHECK
Photos are not proof that the person is real.
Reverse image search can tell you where a photo appeared. A Human Check answers a different question: can the person in this conversation complete a fresh camera challenge right now?
Send a Catfish CheckWhat an independent seven-second Human Check adds
- The challenge is revealed only when recording begins.
- Gallery uploads and reusable profile videos are not accepted.
- The requester receives the actual response, not only a badge.
- The check is tied to a named conversation and expires automatically.
- No account, permanent profile, or government ID is required.
What it does not prove
A live person can still use a false name, operate someone else’s account, or participate in a scam. Use the video as one piece of evidence, not a complete safety decision.
How it works
- Create a private request for the person you are talking to
- Send the one-time link through the chat you already use
- They complete a fresh seven-second camera challenge in their browser
- You review the response signals, capture details, and the actual video
