Yes, all the time. If you look at the romance faq, you'll see a part explaining how to look at EXIF data on a photo. The other thing you can do is Google the passport number and see what shows up.

Valds - will try every trick to make you believe that they are real -

You need to get EXIF data on these pictures - As I am a MAC USER this is a cool program.

It is good when you are looking for a Live one as you can tell when the photograph was taken, what type of camera was used.

Here is an example of a Clean EXIF Data -

If you're using Firefox, then there's a plugin called EXIF Viewer. It gives you the option to view the EXIF data of a photo from the right click menu. There are also ways to remove or edit the EXIF data of a picture you're sending to a lad, but I won't go into that here.
