Verify Before
You Trust.
Before you respond, click, or send money — verify who you're really dealing with. Fraudsters use VOIP burner numbers, disposable emails, and fake websites to impersonate agents, lenders, contractors, landlords, and financial institutions.
HFD Verify checks numbers, emails, and links against documented patterns from the FBI IC3, FTC, and CISA. It does not determine whether a specific contact or message is fraudulent. How we determine these patterns →

Phone Risk Scanner
Is That Caller Who They Say They Are?
Fraudsters use VOIP burner numbers — virtual phone lines that can be created in seconds with any area code — to impersonate real estate agents, lenders, government officials, bank representatives, landlords, and contractors. If someone calls or texts you asking for payment, personal information, or urgent action, verify their number first.
Enter any phone number before you respond, share personal information, or send money. We run a live lookup and return a fraud risk score with carrier, line type, and abuse history.
What We Check
- Line Type — Mobile, landline, VOIP, toll-free, or unknown — VOIP lines are the #1 fraud vector.
- Carrier — Which network the number is registered on, and whether it's a known prepaid carrier.
- Fraud Score — 0–100 composite risk score based on line type, abuse signals, and validity.
- Caller Identity — Name and caller type where available from carrier data.
- Abuse History — Whether this number has been flagged for spam or fraud in the past 90 days.
When To Use This
Unfamiliar Caller
Someone contacts you claiming to be an agent, lender, contractor, or official. Scan their number before sharing any personal information or agreeing to anything.
Suspicious Email
You receive an email requesting payment, documents, or login credentials. Scan the address before clicking, downloading, or replying.
Unknown or Forwarded Link
A link arrives by text, email, or social media asking you to verify, review, or sign something. Scan it before you click — regardless of who sent it.
