Introducing Verify’em: The Safe and Simple Way to Verify Someone’s Identity

verify an identity with verifyem

In today’s world, we encounter strangers all the time – whether it’s online or in person. And while most of these interactions are harmless, there’s always a risk that the person you’re dealing with isn’t who they claim to be. That’s where Verify’em comes in – our new service gives you the ability to safely and easily verify someone’s identity using their facial biometrics, for free!

The verification tool you didn’t know you needed:

Imagine you’re shopping for a new laptop on an online marketplace and you come across a deal that seems too good to be true. Your first thought might be that it’s a scam – but what if it’s not? What if the seller is legitimate, but you’re just feeling a little apprehensive about meeting them in person? That’s where Verify’em can help.

Verify’em is a web-based service that lets you request a facial verification from anyone you want to trust. All you need is their phone number and a few seconds of your time. You can use Verify’em to confirm that the person you’re talking to is the same person who posted the ad, or that they have the item they’re selling in their possession. You can also use Verify’em to check that the person you’re meeting is not a criminal or a fraudster.

The different ways you can use Verify’em:

But why stop at online marketplaces? Verify’em can be used in a variety of scenarios – from vetting people who interact with your children (like tutors, sports coaches, and babysitters) to stopping catfishing on dating apps (the Tinder Swindler Netflix show could have been prevented!). The possibilities are endless.

With Verify’em, you can have peace of mind when you’re dealing with strangers online or offline. You can also use Verify’em to verify yourself and build trust with others. For example, you can verify yourself before applying for a job or renting an apartment, or you can verify yourself on social media platforms and dating apps to show that you’re not a bot or a fake.

Using Verify’em is easy and fast. Here’s how it works:

  • Navigate to the Verify’em tab and enter the phone number of the person you want to verify and click “Send Request.”

 

If the person is already a registered Secure Citizen:

      • The person receives an SMS with a link to the verification page.

      • They follow the instructions on the page to take a selfie and scan their face.

      • Submits their verification and wait for the results.

      • You’ll receive a notification on your Verify’em tab with the verification results.
      • View the results and see if the person passed or failed the verification.

     

    If the person is not yet a registered Secure Citizen:

      • We’ll send them an invite via SMS

      • They follow the instructions above
       

      Everyone’s data stays protected:

      One of the best things about Verify’em is that no personal information is shared between the requester and the verification recipient, ensuring that all compliance boxes are ticked and identities are always protected. The facial biometrics are encrypted and stored securely on our servers, and they are only used for verification purposes. The verification results are also deleted after 24 hours, so no one can access them later.

      Conclusion:

      So if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to verify someone’s identity, whether it’s for personal or professional reasons, give Verify’em a try. It’s free, easy, and safe. And it could save you from a lot of trouble.
