# About Check Twice

Built to stop scammers pretending to be the people you know.

## Why I started Check Twice

It seems only fitting that an identity verification app should tell you who made it. My name is Henry Denton. I began building websites at 13, fascinated by security, and went on to build software for small to medium-sized businesses.

Few problems are more pressing than impersonation fraud. Fraud is now the largest type of crime in the UK, and impersonation the most reported fraud in the US. Yet the usual approach, for individuals and institutions alike, is to act only once the harm is done.

We believe the solution requires a different approach altogether: a consumer-led app that is free, private and intuitive, so anyone can check who is really contacting them.

It’s time to make impersonation scams a thing of the past.
