Controversial app Friend Verifier is back, now offering free background checks to new users

Published

on

Friend Verifier, the popular app that previously allowed Facebook users to scan their friends and friend requests for registered sex offenders, has returned with a renewed mission to empower individuals with the ability to conduct background checks from anywhere. The relaunched platform aims to give users more control over their safety and those of their families.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Friend Verifier, the innovative Facebook app, has returned after a hiatus with a renewed mission. The first version of Friend Verifier, launched in 2012, enabled Facebook users to scan their friends and friend requests for registered sex offenders, quickly becoming a media sensation. However, changes to Facebook’s developer access policies in 2015 halted the platform’s progress.

“Every user who signs up for Friend Verifier receives a complimentary background check, enabling them to search anyone, including themselves, without any obligations.”

The new iteration of Friend Verifier, released on October 2, 2023, allows users to run criminal background checks by name, phone number, email address and even scan individual saved contacts on their mobile phones for criminal records.

The prevalent trend nowadays is online dating and reconnecting with old friends through social media. Surprisingly, online dating has emerged as the predominant method for couples to meet in the United States. A lot can change in twenty years since you last saw that former classmate. Are you being catfished on that dating app? The real question is, are they friend or foe? You need to know!

Research conducted at Brigham Young University has shed light on this, revealing that registered sex offenders exploit dating apps as their “hunting grounds.” Shockingly, at least 10 percent of registered sex offenders utilize online dating services to search for potential victims.

In a startling disclosure, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has brought to light an alarming surge in romance-based fraud and scams. Incredibly, these deceptive schemes led to an astounding $547 million in reported losses in the United States during 2021. A thorough examination of the FTC’s data spanning the past five years exposes a disturbing trend: an astonishing $1.3 billion drained from online daters’ pockets throughout the last half-decade.

Joe J. Penora, CEO of Friend Verifier, emphasized, “These crimes have a widespread impact. Criminals target individuals across gender, sexual orientation, age, and race, leaving potential danger ever-present.” He continued, “In the absence of proactive protective measures from social media and dating platforms, users must take charge of their security. Friend Verifier steps in to provide that vital support.”

The newly launched Friend Verifier is accessible via mobile phones and the web. It offers an affordable solution to individuals seeking to safeguard themselves against potential threats, whether interacting with new acquaintances online or in person, by providing essential tools to fend off violent and financial criminals.

Joe explained, “Every user who signs up for Friend Verifier receives a complimentary background check, enabling them to search anyone, including themselves, without any obligations.” Users of Friend Verifier can pay $4.99 per background check or opt for a subscription. These subscriptions start at just $6.99, granting the user 25 background checks per month, which averages out to just twenty-seven cents per check. Friend Verifier is the only place on the planet where you can find such an incredible rate for background checks.

Friend Verifier was founded on an empowering philosophy that remains steadfast even as they introduce this latest version. Several years back, the initial iteration of Friend Verifier garnered significant media attention, and nearly 14 million people scanned. Journalists from across the United States rigorously tested Friend Verifier, revealing the presence of sex offenders on Facebook who openly defied the platform’s terms of service by using their real names and locations.

“This is just the beginning,” Joe remarked, “We’ve already earned a reputation as champions of personal safety since our inception many years ago. Regrettably, crime rates have surged between the original Friend Verifier’s hiatus and the new one’s unveiling, and online platforms have been lacking to safeguard their users adequately. We have come back—to empower individuals with the ability to perform potentially life-saving research in the palm of their hand.”

The new Friend Verifier is now live on their website, www.FriendVerifier.com, and available on iPhone and Android. Friend Verifier is already working on their next version with even more public databases and new industry-leading features.

Haloid Solutions Expands Access to Radio Equipment by Offering Flexible Financing and Leasing Solutions Named HaloidFLEX

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As part of Haloid Solutions’ long-term commitment to helping businesses and municipalities acquire critical communications equipment despite budgetary constraints, Haloid now offers specialized financing and leasing programs through its HaloidFLEX program.

Designed to ensure that companies and governments have the equipment they need without costly capital expenditures outlays, HaloidFLEX offers financing for equipment purchased directly from manufacturers or local radio dealers. HaloidFLEX financing offers zero percent and low-interest options as well as predictable monthly payments for qualified buyers. HaloidFLEX clients can even opt to incorporate extended support services and protections into their financing to prepare for accidents, theft, or equipment losses. This gives companies peace of mind with one low monthly payment.

For organizations that don’t want or need to own equipment long-term, the HaloidFLEX leasing program offers similar benefits with potential tax advantages. Companies can lease brand new equipment and upgrade or return it at lease-end as needed. For companies seeking flexible options – or those that are interested in upgrading to the latest technology as it becomes available – leasing makes perfect sense.

One of the added benefits of each program is that HaloidFLEX allows clients to bundle services and protections that would normally be billed separately. Accidental damage, theft, and loss protections can be put in place, so that there’s never a lapse in communication if a radio fails. Extended warranties are also available upon request, so companies can customize their financing and protection to fit their budget and safeguard their equipment simultaneously.

According to a Haloid Solutions spokesperson, “Bundling expenses simply makes sense. It reduces the need for multiple policies and flexes with organizations to ensure critical communication equipment is available when needed while guaranteeing that the company’s investment is protected for the life of the equipment.”

HaloidFLEX financing and leasing programs are available to qualified businesses and municipalities nationwide. To learn more or request a customized quote, visit HaloidSolutions.com.

Vipboss Marks Earth Day with Renewed Commitment to Green Energy Solutions

Published

By

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Earth Day draws global attention to environmental responsibility, Vipboss, a specialist manufacturer and developer of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs for energy storage and mobility applications, is underscoring its long‑term commitment to sustainable energy practices through its Environmental Advocacy. This advocacy is devoid of ornate language; its inspiration stems from the brand’s unwavering conviction in LiFePO4 batteries as a green energy solution. To align this message with practical action, the brand is also running a themed sales campaign on its official website during April 18th to 30th. It highlights how practical product solutions, rather than abstract concepts, can support cleaner energy use in everyday life.

Across the world, energy consumption patterns are undergoing rapid change. Households, outdoor users, and light‑mobility sectors are increasingly seeking energy systems that are safe, sustainable, and low‑emission. Within this shift, LiFePO4 batteries have emerged as a preferred technology for clean‑energy applications. Their long service life, high safety profile, and absence of cobalt, which is an element associated with higher environmental and ethical risks, position them as a responsible choice in the global transition toward greener power.

LiFePO4 technology forms the foundation of Vipboss’s approach to sustainable energy. Its extended cycle life reduces the frequency of battery replacement, lowering resource consumption and easing the environmental burden associated with disposal. The material’s inherent stability also minimizes the risk of thermal runaway, offering a safer experience in homes, recreational vehicles, and public environments. In practical use cases such as home backup systems, RV travel, and golf‑course operations, LiFePO4 batteries deliver efficient storage and stable output, helping reduce reliance on fossil‑fuel‑based energy sources and supporting lower‑carbon lifestyles.

Vipboss’s environmental advocacy extends beyond the technical advantages of its products. The brand promotes responsible energy use as an integral part of sustainable living, emphasizing that product design and informed application must work together to achieve meaningful environmental outcomes. As a provider of energy solutions for home, travel, and leisure scenarios, Vipboss continues to participate in the long‑term process of green transformation through ongoing technological refinement and product evolution.

Earth Day serves as a reminder that lasting environmental impact is built through small, consistent actions. Looking ahead, Vipboss will continue advancing safer, more durable, and more efficient energy products that support individuals and families in adopting more sustainable energy habits. Through these efforts, the brand aims to contribute enduring value to the wider adoption of clean energy and the collective pursuit of a more sustainable future.
