The Phone Verification service that TeleSign provided us really helped make sure that the members of our online community were verified and not any illegal criminals or spammers looking to take advantage of our users or our website. My partners and I started a successful online dating website a few years back, and while we were growing in membership, we also saw an increased amount of complaints from our users about either getting spam messages from some users or some kind of pyramid scheme proposal involving illegal activity. I can’t go into too much detail, but I can say that it was becoming too big of a problem for us to ignore. We needed a way to verify our users upon registration to make sure that the user is an actual person interested in finding a date online and not looking to take advantage of us and our community of users. After searching around online for user verification and lead validation services, Phone Verification from TeleSign was the most effective and cost efficient service. It was exactly what we needed, and TeleSign did all of the work on their end, and the Phone Verification was easily integrated into our registration pages on our site. TeleSign helped us make a custom message, and when a new user registers, they enter their telephone number to be contacted at immediately. TeleSign sends them an SMS or voice message to the phone number with a password that they have to enter to complete the Phone Verification process. If the passwords match then they are verified, and if not, then they are banned from the sight along with the phone number. TeleSign blocks VOIP numbers as they are frequently used by online criminals. If our users won’t provide their numbers for us to ensure they are on our site to find a date, then we don’t want them on our site. The amount of complaints from our customers have all but ceased, and we can thank our Phone Verification service TeleSign provided for our website. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
