Yoti is a digital identity app that lets people easily swap personal details with each other. Every account is securely built and verified around a government issued passport or driving licence and personal biometrics-making it impossible to create fake profiles. This means you can be confident that the details your date to be shares, such as their name, age and photo, are all real. It’s the easiest way to confirm that you’re going to meet a catch and not a catfish. It takes a few minutes to create an account and just seconds to swap details with another person.

Tin Eye reverse image search is one of the tools to start your safety checks when online dating. It’s really simple to use. Simply save or screen grab the profile picture in question, crop any ‘extras’ from the outside then go to this site. You upload the image from your album and it searches to see if this image is held anywhere on the web. It will show you results if your picture is within posts or websites world wide. This was my first discovery ‘after’ the event. Wish I had known then what I do know! You can find Tin Eye here…

Being an IT specialist since the 1990’s has allowed me to see how technology can impact on people’s lives in both a positive and negative way. Getting the point across to people that there are so many scams out there is important to me. The scam industry is growing and we need to act fact so that it become less lucrative for the scammers to operate. I want to cover a wide range of scams. It is important to get the point across that there isn’t just one area where scammers operate. Wherever you go on the Internet, you can bet there will be a scammer close by. Check out the website here to see if that latest email, app or card payment request could be scam.
We are Scammers Be gone, an anti-scamming & cold call prevention company based in the UK.
We offer products such as no knock stickers and telephone based services which include a helpline telephone number to report cold callers & fraud.
In a nutshell we provide a higher quality and fully fledged service than a call blocker at a much more affordable price, please don’t take that as us trying to brag or discredit how useful a call blocker can be, but they can be very expensive and most of the time you have to manually block cold callers as and when they come through which, in our eyes, defeats the purpose.
We do charge a very small fixed monthly fee of £3.49 for the services that we offer and we do offer a free trial period so you can sample us before you subscribe, if you register to our services and we do not stop the calls then we will register you to our Call Diversion Service which is 100% guaranteed to stop all cold callers, alternatively we can send you a free call blocker if that is preferred.
