Finding the real person from a photo

What do you mean by fake pictures?

Its a real picture of a real person but I didn't receive it from the person who really is that person. So I have a slew of pictures, with a false pretense of being someone he is not. I just wonder if there is a way to find out who that person in the "real" picture is...... He won't tell me where he stole them from, I've already asked..

Thank you for your further explanation as to what you meant by fake pictures which would have been nice if you would have included that explanation in your original question. However, there are some things that are still not clear here. For one thing, are you intimating that you have seen the person who has sent you the pictures and that the images are not of the person who has given them to you?

Are You Crazy ? Do You Think Charles Manson is going to send you his real picture...

The level of trust you place in a liar is truly light years beyond human intelligence...

You should drop this person like a Cancer that eats at your soul

How stupid can you be -- setting yourself up for more lies and deciet

Anyone can pick up a picture on the net and act like it is their picture. Happens so much I often wonder why people even bother sending pictures anymore. Or why people make a stink about receiving a picture that is not actually of the person who sent it. That is why so many people do not even accept a picture and ask to see the webcam. Hard to phony up a webcam.

So you believe this person is not honest - then quit talking to that person. If he can lie about a picture, he can lie about a lot of other things too.

Other than the FBI; none that I can think of...

Do you think there is anything illegal involved in this person's false pretense, or that it in some way could hurt the real person in the pictures? Or are you just curious?

The person who sent them is actually a self proclaimed con man so there is no communication or relationship with him, there never has been. But the person who is in the picture is an unfortunate victim of his criminal acts as well. I have nothing to do with this person since they sent the pictures. That is the only reason why I would like to find out who is actually the person in the photo. To let them know their images are being used by a con artist to commit fraud. But I guess its not my problem. And to answer Biggsie,no, I'm not crazy or stupid. Or ill mannered.

Instead of trying to find out who the person in the photos is, why not call the authorities. Not sure who that would be. If it were me, I'd just call the local police and ask them what to do about it -- if nothing else they'd be able to tell me who better to call. I really don't know how serious this is, and maybe the guy is even conning you. Obviously I can't say since I don't know anything about it. So just a thought.
