Can I find someone with just a photo?

I met a girl on Yahoo personals, she says she's from Sout Byron Wi. I know the town and she could not answer simple questions about it. She wants me to send money over to Africra, To Nigeria to a man

She says the guy is her agent. I wont send her anything. I did a reverse email and it came out to Decatur

Ill. She told me today she is from Pensicola FL. I think someone got her pictures of the net, and is exploiting her. Can someone find out who she is by the three photo's i have. I feel here Identity might

be comprimised. Or that this activity by this person can get her in trouble. She needs to know whats happening.

    If you have a name, you can see if she's been reported on any Love Scam sites like http://www.romancescam.com/album/search.php - type the first name she uses in the search box, and every reported scammer using that name will show up with the pictures they use. Even if she says her name is Jane and one of the pictures comes up with the name Amanda, click on it - it will show how many different aliases and email addresses these scammers are using.

    Have you tried googling her name or email address to see if anything comes up? Sometimes you can't find anything as some of the scammers are smart enough to use new names and free email addresses with each victim so you can't trace them

    Its a scam, she lied about where she's from, she wants you to send money to Nigeria, a reverse email shows she is in another town, then she lied again saying she was somewhere else. Why do you still talk to this person. In most cases, this woman isn't even a woman - it's a man who stole pictures off an amateur modeling site or another dating site. With thousands of amateur modeling sites, its impossible to find out who she is or where the picture came from. The real girl probably has no idea someone stole her pictures. Try to get her on Skype so you can make sure the pretty girl in the pictures is actually who you are in contact with. Just stop talking to this person

    Or if you like scambaiting and she doesn't know your real name or home address, then keep stringing her along. Tell her that you just found out that you have to go to Penscola on business this Friday and want to take her out to dinner. If she says shes busy, tell her that youll spend a few extra days there because you really want to meet in person to see if there is chemistry, otherwise you are going to have to cut off the relationship. Then see what excuses she has for not meeting.but any mention of money AND nigeria is always a scam. Nigeria is the online scam capital of the world,

    There are no face recognition software available to civilians as of now. Until then unless and until this turns out to be a National Security issue, your complaint will not be entertained.

    Nigerian people are now stamped for 419 scams. This is what they do for living. Don't chat too much online and don't go online looking for some booty and you will just be fine.

    Why will you send money to someone if they did nothing or work for you? If you choose to send money for nothing then that is your fault.There are bad people everywhere, including Nigeria. But there are good and decent people in Nigeria, that make it a great country.

    What makes you thing someone showing ALL the signs of a SCAM actually sent their own photo? For all you know HE actually lives next door to you. That photo may not even be a real person.

    Personally it think it is spam.

    I know an awful lot about the subject from experience with spam and money scams.

    You can contact yahoo if you wish or if it is really bad go to www.ic3.gov to report it.

    Source(s): I had a very bad scam/spam case that i reported to the FBI and the scammers went to jail.
