Transcript
A "reverse username search" allows you to find information about someone from a simple profile username. Most people use the same or similar usernames when creating new accounts so it's easier to remember. This is great news for you as it can allow you to locate someone you may have lost touch with years ago. Or even allow you to determine if someone you met online is telling the truth about who they are. (You can make sure the information they have shared with you matches up with the information behind their profile.)
Four Ways to use a Reverse Username Search
Lost Connections
Locate Lost Connections
If you've lost touch with someone and all you have is an old username, you could be in luck. With a reverse username search you may be able to uncover information mailing addresses, social accounts, phone numbers and even email addresses associated with that name.
Hire with Confidence
One wrong employee or business relationship can do a LOT of damage to your business. Now you can confidently verify businesses and customer information by using their phone number to check their authenticity before engaging with them. Stop problems before they even start!
Verify People
Double-Check Information
Discover if a Business is Legitimate
Verify the background of any service provider you're thinking of using. Get the REAL story behind how long they've been in business vs. what they say on their website. The honest ones will always match up! No more wondering if you can trust a company before you hire them, now you'll know with certainty!
Verify Identities
Now it's easier than ever to verify if someone you met online is REAL. With nothing more than their username, you can get the truth by seeing all the public social accounts related to that username. Once you have that, you can check to see if the images and profile information like their name, birthdate, job, relationship status and more… match up.

They Do Care about Us
I like SocialCatfish because I think they are unique and so different than the previous sites/apps I've used. I love how they offer not just the average way to try to find someone like just basic info but instead they have an option to upload a photo and search that way.

Their customer support is awesome. I spoke with Erin from there and just seemed like they actually do care about helping you and don't think of you as a number or dollar sign. I'd def recommend Social catfish because I think you'll love it too.
