Why Deal Rooms exist
A scammer doesn't just need to convince you they are legitimate. They need you to send money to an account they control.
The most common tactic after identity fraud is payment redirection. A seller who looks verified sends you their Zelle, PayPal, or wire details in a text message or DM. You send the money. It goes to an account the scammer controls — not the verified dealer.
Payment details sent via DM or text
Screenshots of Zelle / Venmo handles
Wire instructions in an email thread
No way to confirm the account belongs to the real seller
A Deal Room pulls payment info live from authenticated, verified records
How a Deal Room works
The seller sets it up
The seller logs into their TruePass account and creates a Deal Room. They enter:
A unique Deal Room link is generated instantly and shared with the buyer.
The buyer completes three confirmation steps
Platform Verification
The buyer confirms which platform they connected with the seller on and enters the seller's username. This is cross-referenced against the seller's verified social accounts on file with TruePass. If it doesn't match, the Deal Room flags it.
Why this matters: A scammer who intercepts a Deal Room link cannot pass this check without knowing the exact verified platform and username tied to the real seller's authenticated account.
Payment Method Verification
The Deal Room displays the seller's verified payment information exactly as it was confirmed during their TruePass account setup. The buyer sees the payment method, account details, and the verified identity attached.
Why this matters: The buyer compares this against whatever payment information the seller sent them directly. If it matches, proceed. If anything is different — stop and do not send.
Final Live TruePass Code
As the last step before the Deal Room is confirmed, the seller generates one final live TruePass code. The buyer enters it. This confirms the seller's account is active, authenticated, and in the hands of the real account holder at the exact moment the deal closes.
Why this matters: No valid code, no confirmation. The Deal Room does not close without it.
What gets logged
Every completed Deal Room creates a timestamped record. Both parties retain access. In the event of a dispute, this is a complete, documented transaction trail tied to a verified real identity — not a screenshot, not a text thread.
- Verified identity of the seller
- Staff member who generated the final TruePass code
- Platform and username confirmation
- Payment method verified at time of transaction
- Deal title, category, and price
- Date and time the Deal Room was confirmed
What it does not do
A Deal Room confirms identity and verifies payment destination. It does not authenticate the item being sold, guarantee delivery, or escrow funds. Buyers should always exercise independent judgment and consider third-party item authentication for high-value purchases.
TruePass confirms who you are dealing with and where your money is going. What happens after you send is between you and the verified seller — with a complete identity and transaction record on file if anything goes wrong.

The Quick Verify tells you who you're talking to. The Deal Room tells you where your money is actually going.
Together they close every window a scammer needs to operate.
Anonymous fraud requires zero accountability. A TruePass Deal Room means that if something goes wrong, the trail leads directly to a verified real identity with a documented transaction record attached. That is not a risk most scammers are willing to take.
Before you send money, verify the seller on TruePass.
