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. A quick check, then a badge you can share. Your photo is used only to complete the check. DateGuard does not store it. Raw face and voice data is processed in real time and not stored by DateGuard.
- 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.
