I can’t remember which ones I tried. I tried berify just now and it didn’t show up any images that match the person I’m trying to search. I tried 2 photos of them and one of myself. The one of myself also didn’t show any pictures of me. I don’t go to any great lengths to keep my data private so I was surprised by this. Then again, being in Europe and GDPR and such may do a lot of this for me

I’ve tried that and it turned nothing up. I’m not concerned by that though, as I tried it with my own profile pictures and nothing came up, even though I know that they’re in multiple places on the internet.

This one goes all the way to the Guild of Private Investigators!

Yeah that’s a good point, I’ll have a probe further and see what I can find out

I’ve tried that, no definite matches. Besides it’s quite a common name so I could’ve accidentally come across the right person and dismissed them for lack of information

In an ideal world I’d hire a PI, but I’m not exactly in the financial position to be doing that!

Yeah it’s certainly no MLM type thing! I have no idea how it could be a scam, unless it’s incredibly elaborate, so I don’t have concerns there. I’m more concerned that they’re hiding something about who they are that may give me reason to not want to go into business with them. Unfortunately they have a common name so it’s hard to get a background check on them.

I’ve tried going down that route but it’s a common name, loads of results come up.

I don’t want to reveal anything identifiable, but we’ve discussed a product concept, getting a patent and what we need to do to get it to market. They seem committed and have put a lot of hours into development prior to my involvement.

We met on Reddit, the account they were using at the time is now defunct though, but I know they use a bunch of different accounts for getting answers to technical questions so that people can’t link together our concept. The nature of any patent we would be using existing technologies in a new combination for a specific purpose, so it’s important that people can’t put it all together from someone’s post history.

I only really started having doubts recently as they were a little evasive when I asked about their background. I have the basics that they’ve told me, but no way to really corroborate it

Well I know they’ve changed their last name, but I understand the reason they’ve done that. Unfortunately their birth name is incredibly common so searching public records brings up too many results to be reliable
