Point Ten: Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
Conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
- If you hire a contractor and give them your money, you want to be sure that they will show up to do the job. Many times contractors are hired with the illusion of a large profitable business and later it is apparent that their business is small and struggling. They overcharge or fake licenses to continue. Verifying contact information and any complaints assigned to the phone number but potentially under a different name, etc. ensures the legitimacy of their company, and again, the safety of the customer and their safety in paying the organization.
