How VerifyClients Works
Canada's mutual safety verification network β built for independent professionals and their clients. Either side can verify the other in under 60 seconds, completely anonymously, before any meetup or transaction.
Built for both sides of every interaction
VerifyClients serves two audiences β and either one can initiate verification at any time.
Independent Professionals
You meet clients privately for your services. Fake bookings, no-shows, and unsafe meetups are real risks with no system to protect you β until now.
Clients & Customers
You're hiring someone to come to your home or meet you privately. Fake profiles and deposit scams are rampant β you need to know this person is who they say they are.
For Independent Professionals
How to verify a new client before confirming a booking.
Receive a booking request
A new client contacts you with a booking request. They provide a phone number or email address. Before you confirm β run a check.
β± Takes 10 secondsLog in to your member dashboard
Go to your member dashboard and click the Phone Lookup tab. Free members get 3 lookups per day. Paid members get more.
Enter the phone number or email
Type in the client's phone number or email. Select the contact type (Client / Customer). Click Run Lookup. Your query is processed in real-time against our Canadian safety database.
β± Real-time β under 5 secondsReceive your result securely
Your safety rating appears instantly in the dashboard. The rating shows Clear, Caution, Flagged, or High Risk based on community reports. Your query is immediately discarded β we cannot link it back to you.
Make an informed decision
Review the result and use your own judgement. Clear β no concerns found. Caution or above β proceed carefully or decline. You are always in control of every decision.
For Clients & Customers
How to verify a provider before hiring or sending a deposit.
Find a provider you're considering hiring
You've found a provider online β through Kijiji, social media, or a referral. Before you send a deposit or open your door, run a quick check.
Check for the Verified Badge
Look for the VerifyClients Verified Badge on their profile or communications. A badge means they've completed our verification flow and are a trusted member of the network.
β Verified Badge = completed our screening processRun a phone number lookup
Log in to your dashboard, enter their phone number or email in the Phone Lookup tab. See if it's been reported by other clients in our community. Takes under 60 seconds.
Check the safety rating
Review the result. Clear means no reports in our database. Any Caution, Flagged, or High Risk rating means community members have submitted safety concerns about this identifier β proceed with care.
Hire with confidence β or walk away safely
Use the result alongside your own instincts to make a decision. If anything feels off β trust yourself and decline. Your safety always comes first.

What Members Say
Real stories from Canadian independent professionals whose safety was protected by verifying first.
Jess received a last-minute booking from an unverified number. Before heading out, she ran a quick check on VerifyClients β the number had been flagged by two other providers in her city. She stayed home. One check saved her two hours and kept her safe.
Tanya blocked off her entire Tuesday for five back-to-back bookings. Not one showed up β every number was fake. She lost a full day of income with no way to warn others. Since joining VerifyClients, she screens every new client before confirming. No no-shows since.
