Search Tips

Multiple Search Options:

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Social media handle

Step 2: Real-Time Verification

TripleValidate instantly checks against the secure TripleEnable database.

What Happens Behind the Scenes

Instant Database Query:

  • Searches millions of verified identities

  • Checks all linked assets across zones

  • Matches against TripleEnable accounts

  • Returns results in milliseconds

Security Protocols:

  • Encrypted connection to database

  • Zero Trust verification for search request

  • Your search activity is logged for security

  • Privacy-protected results

What Gets Checked:

  • Is this asset registered in TripleEnable?

  • Which zone is the account in? (Verified or Secure)

  • What's their current ZTRS score?

  • Are they active and verified?

  • What other assets are linked? (if visible)

Loading Time

Typical Response:

  • Results appear in 1-3 seconds

  • Faster than any manual verification

  • Real-time, not cached data

Step 3: View Results

See comprehensive information about the asset and its owner.

What Results Show

If Asset Is Found:

User Information:

  • Username in TripleEnable/Tr3sPass

  • Zone level (Verified or Secure)

  • Account status (Active, Inactive)

ZTRS Score:

  • Current trust score (0-1000)

  • Visual indicator (red/yellow/green)

  • Score trend (if available)

Verified Assets:

  • List of linked assets (if privacy allows)

  • Verification status for each

  • Asset types (email, phone, social media)

Account Details:

  • Account age (if visible)

  • Last activity timestamp

  • Zone badges and indicators

If Asset Is NOT Found:

Possible Reasons:

  • Not registered in TripleEnable

  • Privacy settings set to "Nobody"

  • Anonymous Zone user (cannot be found)

  • Asset not added to their account

  • Typo in your search

What This Means:

  • Cannot verify through TripleValidate

  • May be legitimate but not in ecosystem

  • Could be suspicious (proceed with caution)

  • Consider requesting they create account

Understanding the Results

High ZTRS Score (750-1000):

  • ✅ Highly trustworthy

  • Government ID verified (if Secure)

  • Multiple verified assets

  • Established account history

  • Safe to proceed with confidence

Medium ZTRS Score (500-749):

  • ⚠️ Moderately trustworthy

  • Basic verification completed

  • Some assets verified

  • Building trust score

  • Proceed with normal caution

Low ZTRS Score (0-499):

  • 🚨 Lower trust level

  • New account or minimal verification

  • Few verified assets

  • Limited history

  • Exercise extra caution, validate further

Privacy Considerations

What You Can See Depends On:

  • Their privacy settings

  • Your relationship (contact vs. stranger)

  • Their zone level

  • Which assets they've made public

Anonymous Zone Users:

  • Will NEVER appear in searches

  • This is by design for their privacy

  • If you need to verify them, they must upgrade zones

Step 4: Send Validation Request

Ask the owner to confirm ownership of the asset.

When to Send a Validation Request

Critical Situations:

  • Received unexpected money request

  • About to send wire transfer

  • Suspicious email or message

  • Business transaction with new contact

  • High-value purchase or sale

Precautionary Situations:

  • Verifying new business partner

  • Confirming client communication

  • Validating contractor information

  • Double-checking before sharing sensitive data

How to Send a Validation Request

  1. After viewing search results, tap "Send Validation Request"

  2. Write your message to the user:

  • Be specific about what you're verifying

  • Explain the context

  • Keep it professional and clear

  1. Review the request details

  2. Tap "Send"

  3. Request is delivered to their TripleEnable account

Example Validation Messages

Money Request Verification:

"Hi, I received an email from yourname@gmail.com asking me to wire ,000. Can you confirm this email belongs to you and you sent this request?"

Business Communication:

"Hello, I received a contract from this email address. Can you verify this is your official business email before I sign?"

Social Media Verification:

"Hi, someone claiming to be you contacted me on Instagram from this handle. Can you confirm this is your account?"

General Verification:
