A focused, analyst-led investigation into a single individual met online, is the relationship real, and does the pattern match known romance fraud typologies?
Romance fraud now ranks among the most financially damaging crimes targeting individual victims in the UK and the diaspora, with victims reporting losses of five and six figures to perpetrators who never existed in the form they presented. This is a focused, decision-ready inquiry into a single individual met online: a structured determination of whether the relationship pattern matches known romance fraud typologies, built around the specific facts you give us, the photographs sent, the platforms used, the claims made, and the financial or emotional asks.
A structured findings report presenting confirmed findings, sources, and a clear assessment, red flag, amber flag, or no significant indicators, with recommendations following the assessment.
Photo provenance and reverse image search, checked against stock-image and stolen-content databases, and for the same face appearing across other identities or multiple dating profiles
Identity claim verification, name, employment, location, marital status, citizenship, and any professional or military credentials tested against documented public sources
Cross-platform alias and account discovery across 300+ social, dating, professional and forum platforms
Romance-fraud typology assessment: love-bombing pace, introduction of a financial crisis, isolation tactics, refusal to video call or meet, and the structured progression toward a financial ask
Findings on photographs or media are worded as consistent with, or not consistent with, synthetic generation or reuse, never stated as definitive proof of AI generation. Detection tooling is probabilistic, and we report it that way: what was found, how confident we are, and what it does and doesn't establish on its own.
Below is a redacted sample of the report we issue for this service, real case structure and analytical depth, with all identifying detail altered or fabricated for demonstration.

We report reverse-image and provenance findings alongside identity-claim verification and the typology assessment, because a genuine photograph can still belong to someone running a scripted deception.
The report documents sourced, dated findings suitable for your own decision-making and, where relevant, for sharing with a solicitor or Action Fraud. It is not itself a certified forensic expert report, for litigation-grade work, see our Litigation Intelligence capability.
Every enquiry is reviewed by an analyst and routed to a scoping call, a fixed fee is confirmed in writing before any work begins.
