Ask them to verify. You go first, with a free liveness check, then send the same test. Real people say yes. Scammers make excuses. The check looks for a live person in front of the camera: not a stolen photo, a screen replay, or a deepfake. It does not read intentions.
Romance scams cost $1.14 billion in 2023, per the FTC (Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book). A lot of those conversations start on social media, where no dating app is in the middle. That is the moment to protect Mom, and the moment a dater 50+ can ask for proof before any money moves.
- Liveness is free. About 30 seconds, then a badge you can share. Your photo is used only to complete the check. DateGuard does not store it.
- Safety Check is $19.99, one-time: a name-and-state records search on top of liveness.
- Safety + Vocal Bio is $39.99, one-time.
