Scam photo website

Someone posted a link to a site that you could upload photos and it would match with know scammers. It had something "eye" in the name. Anyone know which one it is?

It is not a site directly to look for scammers, but more a site that tries to match the picture with others posted on the internet.
If a picture comes up with the name of an actress, chances are the picture is fake. If it does not cme upt at all, it is no guarantee she is not a scammer.

yes seen that as well after looking a little closer. Also shows what other websites have the same pic. Can be useful, is not hard to check .
Just another tool to keep it safe.

The key to tineye is to use the plugin.

You just right click on a picture you wish to check and select 'search image on Tineye', and the result will appear in a new tab. Neat!

Keep in mind it's  a very limited resource.

you could take a random photo from some very well established website, business or otherwise,  and it wont  necessarily find it


It would be incredible coincidence ,if it found a scammers photo.
So i think its overall  value for that task , is very very limited.
