MyPartner has started offering Honesty Online profile certification services to it’s memebers.
The optional Honesty Online certification will verify name, address and date of birth before running a background investigation to check for any criminal records. Members of myPartner who opt for the certification will have the Honesty Online stamp of approval on their profile. Anyone choosing to date a certified member can be confident they are getting a real person with a clear record.
“This is just one more way that myPartner.com is creating a safe online community for gay daters. The best way to find your perfect partner is to get an honest start,” said Patrick Perrine, M.A., founder and CEO of myPartner.com.
Using its proprietary matching technology, Honesty Online can search billions of records in a matter of moments. From the results of its inquiries, Honesty Online confirms the existence of your name and date of birth. Honesty Online then formulates a questionnaire designed to confirm that you are truly the bearer of that name. For the honest, the questionaire may be a nice trip down memory lane or a gentle reminder that mom’s birthday is coming up; but for the dishonest, it is an insurmountable hurdle. This same database is tapped to perform a comprehensive criminal and sex offender search, almost instantly locating those offenses linked to your name and address.
“Our background checks are thorough and efficient. We offer a peek into the past behavior of people you meet online, which is a good barometer of future behavior. Our goal is to make dating safer for myPartner members.” said Mark Ezra, CEO Honesty Online.
Mark Ezra and Patrick Perrine are two of the nicest guys working in the online dating space, both providing a valuable service to online daters. Congrats on the deal.
