My name is Ketty Pills, and I live in Bar Harbor, Maine—a quiet, beautiful coastal town where everyone knows each other. I married my husband, Matthews, in 2018 after two wonderful years of dating. But by 2024, something felt off. He was always glued to his phone, avoiding conversations and staying out late without explanation. My gut told me he was cheating, but I needed proof.

Discovering Cheaters Lie

Desperate for answers, I turned to Google and searched: "How to catch a cheating husband?"

The first result was an ad for CheatersLie, a website claiming to help people uncover secret dating profiles. The homepage looked professional, with bold promises like:

  • "Find out if your partner is cheating in minutes!"
  • "Enter their phone number and get instant results!"
  • Excited, I entered my husband’s phone number and clicked "Search."

The Shocking Redirect – Cheaters Lie Sent Me to Instant Checkmate

Instead of getting results, I was automatically redirected to another website: Instant Checkmate, a well-known background check service.

This made me suspicious:

  • Why didn’t CheatersLie show me results directly?
  • Was CheatersLie just a middleman, earning commissions by sending traffic elsewhere?
  • Could I trust either of these sites?

I decided to research Instant Checkmate before paying anything.

Instant Checkmate – Expensive and Not Ideal for Dating Profiles

Instant Checkmate is a legitimate background check service, but:

  • It’s expensive ($35.12/month for a subscription).
  • It’s designed for criminal records, addresses, and legal history—not dating profiles.
  • No free trial—you must pay before seeing any results.

I didn’t want to spend $35 just to find out if my husband was on dating apps. I needed a free or more affordable option.

Cheaters Lie is a third-party website that redirects to Instant Checkmate, a paid and legitimate background check service. However, it is not free and not ideal for finding dating profiles. While Instant Checkmate provides public records, it doesn’t specialize in uncovering online dating activity. If you're specifically looking to search for dating profiles, better alternatives like Spokeo or dedicated tools like Social Catfish may offer more relevant results and features for that purpose.

Finding a Better Alternative – Spokeo’s Reverse Phone Lookup

After more research, I discovered Spokeo, a people search engine with a free reverse phone lookup option.

Here’s how it worked for me:

  1. I entered my husband’s phone number on Spokeo’s Reverse Phone Lookup.
  2. Within 2 minutes, I received a detailed report in my email.
  3. The report revealed:
  • An active Ashley Madison account (a dating site for affairs).
  • A profile on eHarmony (created just three months ago).
  • Linked social media accounts he used to message other women.

The best part? Spokeo gave me this information for free. Spokeo’s Reverse Phone Lookup worked in my case.

Confronting My Husband with Proof

Armed with the report, I showed it to my parents first. They were shocked but supported me when I confronted Matthews.

At first, he denied everything. But when I showed him the Spokeo report—with his username, profile photos, and timestamps—he finally admitted it.

"I was stupid," he said. "I never meant to hurt you."

The Aftermath – Forgiveness and Moving Forward

For a month, I stayed with my parents, unsure if I could trust him again. But after seeing genuine remorse—and him deleting all dating accounts—I decided to give our marriage another chance.

Today, we’re rebuilding trust. He’s more open with his phone, attends couples therapy, and has cut off contact with the women he met online.

Is CheatersLie Legit? My Final Verdict

After my experience, here’s what I learned:

  • ✔ CheatersLie is NOT a scam, but it doesn’t provide its own service.
  • It redirects users to Instant Checkmate, likely earning a commission.
  • Instant Checkmate is legit but expensive and not ideal for dating profiles.
  • ✔ Spokeo is the better alternative.
  • Free basic reports (unlike CheatersLie/Instant Checkmate).
  • More accurate for dating profiles (Ashley Madison, Tinder, eHarmony).
  • No subscription needed—just enter a phone number.

Final Thoughts: Trust but Verify

If you suspect your partner is cheating:

  1. Don’t rely on middleman sites like CheatersLie—they redirect to paid services.
  2. Try Spokeo first—it’s free and gives direct results.
  3. Confront with proof—cheaters often deny until shown evidence.

In my case, Spokeo helped me uncover the truth without wasting money on expensive background checks. Today, my marriage is healing, but I’ll always verify before trusting blindly.
