    I need a name!
    If anybody can help me please... I have pictures of a man that was emailed to me from another person pretending to be him. I need to know who the real person is. How do I find out his name or if the name given to me is really his how can I contact this person.

    It will be nearly impossible to find him. This is done a lot on dating sites and for dating scams.

    The other person said he is in the US Air Force. How can I track if he really is a person in the military.

    It would be next to impossible. Maybe another person here will offer a suggestion. Many are in bed for the night, so check back tomorrow.

    WG is right. It's near impossible to find out the persons identity with just a picture. As for his location, and profession, if he's lying to you about the picture, then he's most likely lying about that as well, so going by that won't really help you either.

    The only suggestion I can make is to hire a private investigator, if it's really important for you to find out who this person is.

    With all of the millions of people in the world and on the internet, to find out who this random person is. Chalk it up to experience and move on.

    There is a program on the internet where you can post the picture of the person you're looking for, and it will try to find it for you. The problem is, that picture has to be in their database, and they only cover a very small percentage of what's on the internet, and the second problem is that it would have to be the same picture. Really, finding a needle in a haystack is easier. It really is.

    Thanks again Alty!

    I'm an investigator. If you are willing to spend money to track him down, hire an investigator.
