Why we built this?

WebVetted was born after our founder watched relatives fall for TikTok shop scams that were almost impossible to report. We started collecting OSINT signals, recon data, and real user reviews into a single pane of glass. Today those scans power merchants, HR teams, and parents who just need an instant answer when something feels off.

•Evidence over hype
•Privacy-first engineering
•Explainable AI decisions
•Community driven intelligence
