What is CallingID?
CallingID's toolbar verifies that a site is safe before you send personal data 52 verification tests inform you of the potential risks - you decide what to do. Without CallingID you can never be sure who you are buying from and who you are giving personal or private information to. This has become obvious by the ever increasing number of scams, phishing and identity thefts using the Internet. CallingID verifies that the organization actually exists at the address it claims to, using external sources, like yellow pages, Dun and Bradstreet and several other databases.
