How to check a match’s email

A real person usually leaves a consistent trail. A made-up persona usually does not.

  1. Pasting a sender’s From line into the search box, which pulls out the email address

    Enter the address they gave you

    From the app chat, a text, or their first email.

  2. A free check showing mail status, mail provider, and risk flags for an address

    Check it is real

    Throwaway and brand-new addresses are common with fake profiles.

  3. Spending one credit to unlock a full report with linked accounts, names, and photos

    Compare the story

    A full report shows names, photos, and accounts. Do they match who they say they are?

What can confirm or contradict a profile

Look for consistency, not perfection. Plenty of real people keep a low profile.

  • Every source listed

Warning signs

  • Names that do not match

Your privacy

  • They are never notified
  • No email is sent
  • Guest checkout

Moments to check first

  • They ask to leave the dating app quickly

  • An investment tip from a new match

Dating check questions

Their email shows nothing. Are they fake?

Not necessarily. Some people keep separate private addresses. Treat it as a reason to verify another way, such as a video call.

Will they find out I checked?

No. Nothing is sent to their address and no platform notifies them.

The photos in the report are of someone else. What now?

Stop sending money or personal details and report the profile to the dating app.
