You matched with someone online and now they are asking you to prove who you are before you meet. Maybe they said they have been catfished before and want to make sure you are real. Maybe they sent you a link to a verification site. Either way, you are not sure what to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This situation is more common than it used to be, and it can mean two very different things. It can be a completely reasonable request from someone who has been hurt before and wants peace of mind. Or it can be the opening move of a scam designed to steal your personal information and credit card details. Before you respond to any verification request or click any link, run your match through Social Catfish<\/a>. Search their name, photo, phone number, or username to confirm they are who they say they are. If they are real, you will know. If they are not, you will know that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
