FinVerify: Real-Time Investment Scheme Detector & Verification Service
A human-powered verification service where Chinese-speaking individuals submit details of investment opportunities (company name, contact info, promised returns, structure) and receive a detailed report within 24 hours identifying red flags, regulatory status, and legitimacy signals. Combines regulatory database cross-referencing, social network verification (checking if promoters have legitimate histories), and pattern-matching against known scam taxonomies. Reports are delivered via WeChat/WhatsApp with clear yes/no/high-risk verdicts.
