check before you send

Both of you check.
Then you trade.

what's a Handshake

A two-sided check before money moves. You send them a link, they send you one back. You both see what Hold found, you both acknowledge, you trade. If they won't click, that's your answer.

How it works
01
Paste a seller link

Reddit, X, or Facebook Marketplace — any public seller URL.

02
Hold investigates

Cross-platform search, scam report search, price verification, red-flag review.

03
Read the evidence

Not just a score. Specific findings, sources, and a clear verdict you can act on.

You're about to send money to a stranger on the internet.

Most platforms protect the transaction, not you. Once the money leaves Zelle, Venmo, or cash — it's gone. Hold runs the check the platform won't. Before you send. Not after.

What we check
Account age
created date, activity recency
Cross-platform presence
same person, verified elsewhere
Scam reports
reddit threads, forum callouts
Price anomaly
listed vs real market value
Linked accounts
same person elsewhere
Payment patterns
escrow, DM-only, pressure tactics

Don't find
out after.

If they won't do the handshake, walk away. That's a signal.
