Is your perfect match the person they claim to be?

Keeping you safe from online catfishing

Growing at an unprecedented rate, dating apps and websites have become the most popular way of finding a partner. And this trend isn’t slowing down anytime soon. By 2035, more than 50% of relationships in the UK will have begun online.
 

But all that glitters is not gold. In fact, online dating can be a dangerous game. In 2021, it was reported that romance fraud had gone up by 40% from the previous year.

During the same time frame, the UK’s national reporting centre for cybercrime reported almost 8,000 romance fraud cases in the UK. The truth is that it doesn’t take a master of disguise to catfish someone.

Creating a fake identity is as simple as downloading someone else’s pictures and coming up with a believable backstory. So, if you think you’ve fallen for a catfish, don’t worry – you’re not alone.

What separates us from other catfish investigators

Tried-and-tested investigation methods to uncover the truth

We know that hiring a private investigator can be tricky – particularly with catfishing cases. After all, the internet is plagued with amateurs who claim to be professional investigators. More often than not, these so-called professionals are scammers trying to take advantage of less internet-savvy customers.

Sure, anyone can use Google or search for people on Facebook or Twitter. But that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of what it takes to unmask a true catfish. If you want to unveil the truth, you need a few aces up your sleeve.

At M19 Solutions, we have a wide array of tools at our disposal to help us discern whether someone’s profile is real or not. From exhaustive background checks to combing public and private databases, we’ll do everything we can within the law.

But what really sets us apart is our experience. We have a tried-and-tested method in place that has ensured the best results for years. In fact, our expert investigators have solved more than 1,000 cases – including catfishing and other kinds of romance scams.

Catfish investigator services FAQs

We know that hiring a catfish investigator is not something you do every other week. That’s why we’ve put together a series of commonly asked questions about our services.

A catfish is someone who uses non-genuine images and information to create a fake identity online to contact someone for romantic purposes. More often than not, these images are taken off other people’s social media accounts.

Our catfish investigator services can help anyone who suspects they’ve been a victim of catfishing – no matter their age, gender or occupation.

If you suspect you’re being misled by someone you met online, it’s highly likely that you need a catfish investigator. Unmasking a catfish is not just about making sure you’re not being scammed – it’s about protecting your integrity as a person.

Not really. Most catfish are internet-savvy experts and ensure that they can’t be found on Google and social media platforms, making them extremely difficult to catch. If you want to unmask your catfish, you need the help of a professional investigator who knows what they’re doing.

Yes. We are an ICO-registered company for data protection – meaning all your personal information will always be safe with us. No one needs to know that you’ve used a catfish investigator.

Stay away from any private investigator who gives you a fixed rate before learning everything there is to know about your case. The truth is that every investigation will require different methods, manpower and time spent – meaning the fee will vary. At M19 Solutions, we’ll give you a detailed quote with no hidden extras at the very beginning of our investigation process.

Yes. As a private investigation company that has been operating for years throughout the UK, we have solved more than 1,000 cases. Some of these included catfishing and other kinds of romance fraud.

Most catfish are lonely people who, dissatisfied with their real lives, create a fictional online identity that allows them to connect with other people. The stats also show that men are slightly more likely to catfish someone than women.

Not necessarily. Although it’s true that some catfishing cases involve stealing the victim’s bank or credit card details, there are catfish who act without any economic motivation.

The impersonation of another identity online is not actually illegal. That being said, catfishing is usually associated with illegal activities such as fraud or identity theft for economic purposes.

We’re conveniently based in Manchester, meaning we’re just a few minutes away from local areas in Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Yorkshire. However, we’re more than happy to help customers based in other parts of the UK.

There are a few cases where you should definitely take your catfish to court. These include situations where you are being blackmailed or where your catfish has attempted to steal money off you.
