Does anyone know of a reliable reverse image search site equal to Google or better?

I'm going to tell you exactly what my use-case scenario is:

I use reverse search to catch scammers on dating platforms. See scammers often steal the pictures they put in their profile from various websites.

Sometimes those pictures are pornographic in nature. I've recently noticed that Google no longer allow reverse searching for porn. Actually, it also rejects pictures of people clad in swimsuits.

I don't know of any setting I can change. Every week, I got scammers tossed off platforms using this method. However, I can no longer do this, due to Google's ongoing enshittification efforts.

(ETA: TinEye is not good enough. I tried again just now. I got a pornographic image from a public website, fed it to TinEye and got no matches. 😕 )

Oh, er... yes. I did run into a cockroach today (i.e. a #scammer) on #Feeld.

What tipped me off?

The one picture that appeared to be professionally taken... you know... by a professional photographer.

That and the regurgitation in the profile text waxing poetic about BDSM.

I'm going to post a link to the original picture as a reply to this post. The picture that was used in the profile was cropped, but it was indeed the picture that I found with a reverse image search.

I've changed my FetLife notifications to get notified more when people post new threads in groups that I follow.

In the "ISO" groups, hardly a day goes by before I have to report a cockroach (scammer) to the mods.

These usually are people who just joined and who pilfered profile pics off of the Internet.

Well, well....

It's been a while, but I was approached by another cockroach today. (A scammer.) From what I can tell, I had liked it first. It was a majestic member, so... I don't *think* that I wasted a ping on it.

It presented as non-binary. Their profile said they wanted to know my preferred kinks. I opened saying that I don't have preferred ones, and that I just want to make it happy.

It then said something like:

"I'd like a few."

Hmm... okay. That's a rather cold reply for a first line, in the context of dating. I produced a list that I already had. I went back to the profile, and it had a line saying "Show me your dick."

Er... you know what? I don't usually hit on people who are this forward. If you remember, two different cockroaches tried to bamboozle me with dick pics and a threat of sending stuff to my followers on Facebook.

Maybe the profile had been changed since I had liked them, but this got my wheels spinning. What if it comes back asking to see a picture of my dick?

I decided to do a reverse image search on its first profile picture, and, yep. I found it on Instagram.

I unmatched and reported. I'm not aiming to waste my time.

(This is why I don't recommend using your social media pictures as dating pictures.)

@searchliaison

What on Earth are you guys doing with the reverse image search?

Two problems:

1. I cannot longer find the source of an image on my Pixel 7 phone. "Find image source" is just not there in Google Lens.

2. Let's say I search for duck in Google Search and I get a bunch of ducks. I copy the picture of a duck and I paste it in the image search, still in Google Search. If I click on "Find image source" I get "No results for the selected area". (The selected area is the entire image.)

Really???????

Really????

On which planet does this make ***ANY*** sense?

I mean Google Search just gave me the result and when I ask to do a reverse image search, I get 🤷

WTF?

The scammers are evolving.

It used to be that when I managed to erroneously like a scammer, they would like me back and the profile I saw then was the same as the profile I saw initially.

However, it seems that *twice* now, I've been approached by scammers who *significantly* altered their profile between the time I gave them a like and the time we matched.

How do I know I liked them first? Because they just showed up as a match when they liked me back. If they had liked me first, they would have been in a kind of purgatory where I could have liked them back.

How do I know the profile changed?

First Case
========

The first case was a few days ago, so I don't remember all the details, but after matching I saw in her profile that she wanted to be contacted on Instagram. When I run into profiles like this, I report them. Feeld does not want people to use their platform to siphon users somewhere else. (From experience, the desire to go off platform ASAP is a sign that you are dealing with a scammer.)

I did match with the girl in this first case. She immediately started harping on her Instagram, and i unmatched and reported her right away.

Note that in addition to the mention of Instagram, I did not remember liking a person with those pictures.

The most likely explanation is that the profile changed between the time I liked it, and the time we matched.

Second Case
==========

The second case happened a few minutes ago. This time she presented as a straight girl. That's the first red flag. She was over 1000 miles away from me. Another red flag. Her profile text was empty. Another red flag. Again, looking at the pictures, I couldn't remember seeing her before. Another red flag.

Then I did a reverse image search on the first picture, and blammo! I unmatched, and reported her.

Again, the most likely explanation is that the profile was edited between the time I liked her, and the time we matched.

What's The Point
=============

I'm not sure. Maybe the scammers have a set of pictures, and a profile text that they use to bait fish. These pictures would presumably not be findable with a reverse image search, and the profile text would be appealing but not contain any dealbreakers. Then, when they have some prey, they quickly change the pictures and the text. This way they protect the original pictures.

Not sure. 🤷

So... I run into this profile of a young bisexual toaster who is into BDSM. 😍

She also says that she wants to date older men. 😍

She also wants dick pics. :catthinking:

She calls herself a MILF in training and wants to be a stay at home whatever. :catthinking:

Reverse image search, the first profile pick, and bingo! :headache:

Reported to higher authorities. Usually, when it sounds too good to be true, it is.

(She presented as a girl, but you never know. That's why I called her a toaster.)

Pro-tip: It is a good idea to check whether your dating pictures can be found with a reverse image search.

Why? Because when I find someone's pictures all over the web, I report them.

I've just done it for mine.

Got another scammer sliding into my DMs on Insta, I think. Reverse image search revealed a different Insta account and a twitter account that only retweets gay porn.

He claims his old account got hacked - that’s so you don’t question why all of his posts are less than a week old. When I offered my services because I’m very good at dealing with hackers and scammers he wouldn’t even give me the name of his old account (because it doesn’t exist).

When will they learn?
