Is there any possibility to find a person with only a photo? I don't know where this person lives. I was a member of match.com and made a contact with a man. It has come to my knowledge that the man on the picture is not the man I have been in contact with. The man I was in contact with is a man from Nigeria who wants money. In other words his picture is used by a swindler. I am as well very upset of this and I will do anything in my power to find the person on the picture, I think he really has to know about this. I have been in contact with match.com in scandinavia but I am not satisfied with the their respond. I hope you can help me or if you have knowledge of who can help me. If there is any possibility I will send you the photo.

Unfortunately, these types of incidents happen quite often. There is no way of telling of whom you have a picture of unless someone's was to recognise him. I would discourage you from posting the photograph for public view simply because the person associated with the photo may not appreciate, even though you have the best intentions, having his likeness going out over the net. You have taken the proper steps by contacting Match.com to make them aware of this fraudulent activity. If need be I am sure they will contact the proper authorities to get the situation ratified.

Thank you so much for your respond. It feels so hopeless to have this knowledge and I think something has to be done about this. You are so right about not publish his photo, I haven't thought of it in that way.
I have been reading on internet about swindlers and I think the only way to stop this use of people we have to pay attention to this issue because I have a feeling there is women who gives money to this kind utilize.

I wish you a pleasant weekend.
