SCAM PATTERNS
May scammers be infested with the fleas of a thousand camels.
Ask for live proof before you pay. A real seller just shows you. A scammer makes excuses and disappears. Either way, you have your answer.
Stolen photos
Pictures lifted from old listings prove nothing about today.
Live video with a fresh, drawn code.
Fake seller
A new account, no reviews, no history, no face.
A Stripe identity check on the seller.
Payment pressure
“Someone else is interested, can you pay now?” is how scams close.
Proof first. You decide before you pay.
No proof of possession
Old photos and stock images, never the actual item.
They show it, in hand, on camera.
HOW IT WORKS
Easily verify the seller is real and has the item.
Three steps, about two minutes. Then you decide.
- 1
Draw the code
A one-time code is drawn at record time. The seller writes it on paper and shows it on camera, so the clip can't be an old one.
- 2
Say the word
They say your safe word out loud while holding the item. Proof it is live, and proof it is really them.
- 3
Punch the tag
Identity clears through Stripe, you accept the proof, and the deal is tagged.
THE BUYER'S CALL
Watch the proof. Then decide.
The seller's clip lands in your DealProof with a timestamped trail. Accept it and pay with confidence, or walk away.
Review with confidence.
Every proof is timestamped, tracked, and shown before you pay. You see exactly what the seller did, then you decide.

TRUSTED SELLERS GET IT. (SCAMMERS DON'T)
It makes sense. It's hard to trust someone you can't meet face to face.
GOOD FAITH, OUT LOUD
Real sellers. Real words.
The safe word, spoken on camera. The most human part of the whole thing.

FAQ
Common questions
Is this a replacement for PayPal Goods & Services?
No. PayPal G&S protects the dispute path after something goes wrong. DealProof protects the decision before payment. It proves the seller actually has the item, is the person in the photos, and isn't using stolen images. Use DealProof first, then still pick the payment method that fits the risk.
Does DealProof hold the money?
Never. DealProof does not process, hold, or escrow payment. You pay the seller however you choose, outside DealProof, after you've reviewed the proof.
Does the seller need an account?
No. The seller opens your secure link, confirms their details, and records the proof in about 2 minutes on their phone.
PROOF BEFORE PAYMENT
The closest thing to meeting in person, when you can't.
Open a DealProof, request the proof, and decide before a dollar moves.
