Why Scopa

What is OSINT Due Diligence?

OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) is advanced investigative research that searches hundreds of publicly available sources worldwide to uncover hidden risks. While standard background checks search only 1-2 databases, OSINT examines 217+ platforms across 47 jurisdictions—corporate registries, court records, social media, news archives, and digital footprints that others miss.

The difference: Standard checks tell you what someone wants you to know. OSINT reveals what they don't tell you—hidden connections, fake credentials, and global risks that could cost you millions.

Every finding includes source attribution and full documentation. No hacking—just professional intelligence from public data that standard checks don't search.

The Problem

Every year, investors lose millions to undisclosed directorships and sanctioned entities. HR teams hire executives with fabricated credentials, costing $200k+ per bad hire. Legal teams build cases on incomplete intelligence, weakening their position. Public records don't tell the whole story.

Our Approach

We search 217+ platforms across 47 jurisdictions — corporate registries, court records, social networks, blockchain ledgers, media archives. Every finding includes source attribution, date of access, and confidence scoring. You receive clear findings with full source documentation.

How to Verify Someone You Met Online Before You Meet Them

Meeting someone in person after connecting online — a new date, a friend of a friend, a potential roommate — comes with one risk most people don't check for: the person may not be who their profile says they are. A quick verification takes less time than planning the meetup itself.

Check Their Photos

  • Run a reverse image search on their main photos. Stolen or stock photos are the most common sign of a fake profile.
  • Look for the same photos appearing under a different name elsewhere online.
  • Check whether photos look consistent in age, location, and style across their accounts.

Check Profile Consistency

  • Compare their story across platforms — job, location, age should match everywhere.
  • Look at account age. Profiles created days ago, with few posts or connections, deserve extra caution.
  • Check whether their social activity (friends, comments, tags) looks like a real, lived-in account.

Check Public Records

  • Search their name alongside their stated city or employer.
  • Look for a public record trail that matches the identity they've given you — most real people leave at least some.

Red Flags to Watch For:
Refuses video calls or always has an excuse to avoid meeting
Story changes in small details over time
Asks for money, gift cards, or financial help early on
Profile photos don't reverse-search to any consistent identity

How We Help

A Quick Check verifies photos and profile consistency in 24–48 hours. A Standard Check adds public records and cross-platform verification for a fuller picture before you meet.

How to Check a Seller, Job Offer, or Business Partner Before You Pay or Sign

Whether you're buying something from a stranger, accepting a new job, bringing on a business partner, or considering an investment — the same principle applies: verify before money or a signature changes hands.

Verifying an Online Seller

  • Check how long the seller's account or listing has existed.
  • Reverse image search their listing photos — the same images posted under different names in different cities is a common scam pattern.
  • Look for a pattern of complaints or non-delivery in reviews.

Verifying a Job Offer

  • Confirm the company has a real, current business registration — not just a website and a domain registered weeks ago.
  • Be cautious of remote roles with unusually high pay for minimal qualifications.
  • Search the recruiter's name and the exact job title together — scam postings are often reused word-for-word across platforms.

Verifying a Business Partner or Vendor

For small business owners bringing on a partner or a new supplier:

  • Check business registration status and how long the company has operated.
  • Look for a pattern of complaints, disputes, or non-delivery from past clients or partners.
  • Verify that the person you're dealing with is actually authorized to represent the business.

Verifying an Investment Opportunity

  • Check whether the company or platform is registered with the relevant regulator.
  • Be wary of "guaranteed returns" claims — legitimate investments don't promise these.
  • Check how long the website or platform has existed, and whether it has any independent track record.

Red Flags to Watch For:
Pressure to act quickly or send money before you can verify anything
No verifiable business registration or physical presence
Reviews or references that can't be independently confirmed
Requests to pay through untraceable methods

How We Help

A Quick Check confirms the basics — registration and platform history — in 24–48 hours. A Standard or Deep Report adds cross-platform verification and a full risk assessment for higher-stakes decisions.
