How ProFaceFinder Works

Public Information Only

We search the open web and sites that allow data crawling. We don’t search social media, private accounts, or any info for registered users only.

Searching, not surveilling

We help people find public information about themselves. SwindlerBuster Face Search is not for spying on others and isn’t designed for that.

Fighting Scammers

We help users find and identify crimes like catfishing, nonconsensual porn, or identity theft. We provide tools to take action against abusers.

Providing Links, Not Control

We give links to external sites but aren’t responsible for their content. Providing links doesn’t mean we endorse those sites or their practices.
