I need to help my daughter!

Hi everyone,
My daughter has been talking online with someone for over 3 months now. They spoken on the phone etc but not via video chat.

Something doesn't add up.
He gave her his full name and where he was born - I've checked the birth records nothing.

I think the only way I can prove to her he's not quite right is to find the profile of the person in the pictures - I've tried a reverse image search - nothing

What else can I do???

How are you checking birth records?

NoTeaNoShadeNoPinkLemonade · 11/08/2018 11:14

search his email on Facebook?
how old is your daughter?

How old is she?

HabboBlaker · 11/08/2018 11:25

You can easily search birth records online with a name and place of birth

She's 18

We don't know his email address, and he states he doesn't have Facebook or Instagram... I know something is wrong but she is completely believing of him and I know she'll be hurt

Invite him over, seem to be accepting of her choice, he will likely refuse all rl contact - she will wise up in time.

Employment? College?

Where is she chatting to him? Can you report his profile anonymously as being a fake? That way it will (hopefully) get investigated and you won't be implicated?

Or, put his phone number into Facebook or google, see what profiles matched to his phone number appear.

Unfortunately as long as she is an independent adult there is little you can do. What is setting off your radar and how did they "meet"?

Get her to watch an episode of catfish

How did they get chatting if he has no social media?
