Free fraud prevention tools powered by live government data. Check companies, people, routing numbers, and SEC filings in seconds — before a single dollar moves.
Searches the actual SEC EDGAR database in real time. Any company raising investor money must appear here. Zero results = zero legal standing to take your money.
Instantly verify any ABA routing number against Federal Reserve data. Confirms which bank it belongs to and whether it's valid — catches forged wire instructions immediately.
Confirms the receiving bank named on a wire instruction is a real, active, FDIC-insured US bank. Surfaces conservatorship, closures, and address mismatches — all major fraud signals.
Paste in the details from wire instructions you received. Scores them across 12 fraud indicators and returns a risk assessment with specific flags.
Checks SEC EDGAR and links directly to Florida Sunbiz and your state's Secretary of State to verify real registration, address, officers, and dissolution status.
Verify whether a named board member or executive is legitimately associated with a company — or whether their identity is being used fraudulently on fake documents.
Trusts aren't centrally registered, so there's no single list of them. This card searches every public surface a trust does appear on: court cases (CourtListener — federal + state) + SEC filings (EDGAR) + red-flag detection. Enter "CA" in State to narrow to California courts.
Every TLS certificate is logged publicly. Surfaces all subdomains a company has set up, recent suspicious issuance (fresh cert + fresh wire = phishing setup), and how many Certificate Authorities have signed for them.
Verify a mortgage lender, MLO, branch, or appraiser against the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System. Critical for catching real-estate wire-fraud scams. Search runs on the official NMLS Consumer Access site.
Money Services Businesses (currency transmitters, money transmitters) must register with FinCEN. Unregistered MSBs handling wires are operating illegally. Search runs on FinCEN's official registrant search.
Searches SAM.gov — the US government's official "do not do business with" registry. Anyone on the active exclusions list has been formally barred from federal contracts. Strongest single fraud signal in federal data.
Checks IRS tax-exempt status via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer. Confirms 501(c)(3) status, EIN, recent Form 990 filings. Critical for donor-fraud detection — any "charity" raising money should appear here.
Searches USASpending.gov for federal contracts and grants by company name. Verifies "we have a government contract" claims — a common fraud talking point. No contracts = no federal work.
Searches the CFPB Consumer Complaint Database — official US consumer-protection complaints filed against financial companies. Volume + categories surface risk signals.
Enter your wire details after identity verification. System returns a single answer: CONFIRMED or UNCONFIRMED. No gray area.
Select your situation for a personalized step-by-step action plan — who to call, in what order, and exactly what to say.
Verify whether an address is real using Google Maps geocoding — PO boxes, virtual suites, and partial matches are common fraud signals. See anonymous warnings from other people scammed at the same location, and add your own (no account required).
Help the next person. Do not include your name or bank details — just the location and what happened.
Intelius has no public API — a paid login cannot be wired into VerifyFirst safely. The API alternative you likely mean is People Data Labs, already live in the Board Member Check card above (executives, titles, LinkedIn hints). For deeper background checks, TLOxp / TransUnion requires a business contract — not a self-serve API.
For artists, parents, and guardians of minor artists. One search across PROs (ASCAP/BMI/SESAC/GMR), SoundExchange + unclaimed list, the MLC, sync indices, and streaming. No gatekeeper firm. No percentage taken off recovered earnings.
