LONG ISLAND, N.Y., March 19, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Over the past three years Friend Verifier has grown from a ground breaking boutique web application, into an industry leading powerhouse. The overwhelming support for Friend Verifier has propelled it close to surpassing 13 million unique people scanned. To commemorate Friend Verifier's third anniversary they are launching a limited edition scan ending on April 30th called #StaySafe2015.
Whether you have 5 or 5,000 friends scan all of them at once for criminal records. The ability to scan all Facebook friends for criminal records, is a feature that the big data and background check industries have never offered before. This new innovation by Friend Verifier draws parallels to Friend Verifier's original ground breaking sex offender scan, which is still available today for free.
"Facebook has truly enriched our lives making communication and sharing life's precious moments so easy. We want Friend Verifier to be a companion tool to Facebook. A tool that empowers women and parents to safeguard not only their own safety on social media, but their families as well. We are your social life anti-virus." said CEO Joe Penora.
Friend Verifier has been shown in newscasts around the country showing how useful it can be to teach teens and tweens the dangers of friend collecting and oversharing. These practices are often subscribed to by today's youth which can be extremely dangerous. These dangers are a sticking point the people at Friend Verifier constantly make.
"One of the most frequent comments we've received is that social media users should only accept friend requests from people they know. Most rely that by solely following this mantra will keep them safe. However we must all do our due diligence when reconnecting with people form our past." Penora said. "I found out that a former High School teacher of mine and a fellow former student were both convicted for child pornography. Those are two people I knew and would have gladly accepted a friend request from, prior to knowing their convictions. I urge people don't take anything for granted, make sure you use caution when inviting people into your social lives."
Friend Verifier Version 2 is now available at their website, http://www.FriendVerifier.com. #StaySafe2015 will be available until April 30th for a flat fee of $15. Users can also run individual background checks for $8.99, and users will still be able to scan friends and friend requests for sex offenders for free. Friend Verifier is a Verify Anybody Inc. company.
