Maybe you have never heard of BeenVerified, but if you are looking for information about some people, you sure do know what it is and now you need to know if it is reliable or not.
We have already revealed the surprise of the cake, and that is that BeenVerified is a people search engine. On the Internet there are thousands, but this is one of the best, although it is not free.
How to search by image in Google
The only downside is that it only works in the United States , but if we need to search for someone in one of the 52 states that make up the United States, then BeenVerified is our best card .
We must also know that we can search for information about people having their phone number or ID .
Now let’s get straight to the heart of the matter and explain how BeenVerified works:
- We entered the official website of BeenVerified . (It also has an app for Android and iPhone)
- We write the name and surname of the person we are looking for. Click on “Search”.
- We indicate the city and the State in which that person lives and click on “Next”.
- The machine searches and tells us the number of matches.
- Next, we indicate what type of information we are interested in knowing about that person we are looking for and click on “Next”.
- We are informed at all times that BeenVerified searches public records.
- It is here when we are asked to check a box in which we “promise” that the information to which we are going to have access we will not use it for selection processes, tenant evaluation, for credits, etc.
- Now, in the next few minutes, a loading bar will appear on the screen and they will indicate the searches they are doing.
- Finally, to receive all the information collected, we must write our full name, and our email . In our case all the data was false, and even so the animation of “downloading and saving information” came out.
- Now a series of dialog boxes appear where they explain the process, everything we will find with the information it provides us, how we can complement that data, etc.
- A new dialog box appears telling us that the search results are ready. Since we started the process until now, about 15 minutes have passed.
- No, this is not free, now it asks us to register and give our payment information.
BeenVerified, the information chest for scammers
BeenVerified has been shown to be used by scammers looking for specific victims. All the information that is obtained through BeenVerified, as well as dozens of other search engines, collect public information, from traffic fines, social networks, public records, rentals, registrations, etc.
It is a fast and legal way to access all the information of a person. This is why it is always said that you have to be very careful with what is published on social networks.
This public information accessed by BeenVerified is available to anyone. In this case they are people from within the United States, but that does not prevent me, who am in Spain, from writing a common and typical name of a North American citizen and casually obtaining private information about his life .
In fact, we, by writing our data, have given information to BeenVerified. Although it is true that the person who collects information through this means does so anonymously , but if we want to receive all the data collected, we must provide some information such as full name and email.
In the end, as we have seen, it is necessary to pay a monthly subscription to receive the information . In our understanding, and in our experience, we do not recommend this service .
It must be said that the person we have looked for will never know that we did it, or so they comment from the BeenVerified website
