Since I'm using my phone to access the site, I don't see all the features as a desktop view. How do I report scammers?

Also, if the scammers are using someone else's photos, is there a website to do some sort of search (face recognition) to detect who they are? I just feel bad for the people who have their photos stolen and used to scam people.

Dunno about the app, but to report a scammer on a computer, you must get a PM from this person first. Then those options appear in your mailbox - Block User, Report Abuse/Spam.
To make a reverse search you can use google. Download the photo from the website, then upload it in Google Images and search for the photo. Tineye is an online service .. does the same thing.
However, many images are still impossible to track, if they haven't been posted previously in public.

Welcome to the site and all the best in your search!!! biggrin waving

There's two places when using the app.

In their profile, it's the 3 dots to the right, just under their picture. Click on them and you have the choice to block or report.

In your messages, click on the 3 dots next to their user name in the top right corner.

I use a reverse photo search app for pictures, but google (What Mr. Beekeeper said) works too.

OMG. I can't believe I found the owner of the picture. He's a doctor from NY who is active on instagram.

The reverse photo search worked. I feel like a detective. lol.

Hello,

You can report suspected scammers by clicking the 'report abuse' button on any email you have received from them, or by clicking 'report user' on the user's profile.
