When to use Runa

Protect yourself in real life.

If an email or phone number has zero online history, it's a major red flag. Always double-check before making a decision.

01

Before you pay

Make sure a seller is using an established account, not one made yesterday.

02

Before you meet

Check if the person from a dating app or marketplace actually exists online.

03

Before you hire

Run a quick background check on a freelancer or contractor before trusting them.

04

Before you rent

Spot fake tenant profiles before handing over your keys or signing a lease.

How it works

How we calculate the score.

Scammers can fake one profile, but they can't fake years of normal internet use. Runa looks for signs of a real human activity.

Keep in mind

A low score doesn't always mean "scammer".

Some real people just don't use the internet much, or they prefer their privacy. If Runa doesn't find much history, simply ask the person to verify themselves another way.
