Frequently asked questions

What does Pilot Romance Scam Checker look at?

Reverse-image of the profile photos, off-platform pivot timing, romance-script overlap, inconsistencies in the timeline, and any community reports tied to the handle or photo set.

Can it spot pig-butchering early?

Yes. Pig butchering has a distinctive arc — small talk, trust, then a 'trading' platform. We flag the pivot moments.

Is it free?

Yes, no signup needed.

Will the match know I checked them?

No — the check is private and the profile is never contacted.
