Check an account: is this number or profile official?

What you can check

Open Check an account and paste one of these:

• A social media link: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Telegram, Threads or Pinterest. The tool recognizes the network and the handle, even if the link has extra parameters.
• An @username (for example @shopama).
• A phone or WhatsApp number, with or without country code, or a wa.me link.
• An email address.
• The address or name of a My Official Links page.

How to use it, step by step

1. Copy the item exactly as you received it: the number messaging you, the profile link selling to you, the email that contacted you.
2. Paste it into the search field of Check an account and run the search.
3. Read the result (see below) and, if a certificate appears, compare the brand name carefully with the one contacting you.
4. When in doubt, reach the brand through a channel listed on its certified page — never through the channel that contacted you.

The 4 possible results and what they mean

✅ “This account is official”

The item is on a certified page (blue badge), it was verified during certification and has not changed since. You see a certificate showing when the page joined My Official Links, when it was certified, when each account was verified, and a signed certificate code in the format MOL-XXXX-XXXX. When an official account exists, other pages reusing the same link or number are not shown.

“Appears on a certified page but not yet verified”

The item was added to a certified page after certification. The page is genuine, but this specific item has not been checked by our team yet. Stay careful before paying.

⚠️ “Found on a non-certified page”

The item is on a My Official Links page that is not certified. That does not mean it is fake, only that nobody has verified it. Take the usual precautions.

“Not found”

Nothing matches. The tool never says “fake”: the brand may simply not be with us yet, and namesakes exist. Suggestions shown are only certified pages with a similar name, with their verified account on the same network when there is one.

Searching by name: watch out for namesakes

If you type a name, the tool only shows certified pages that are online. Several brands can share a name: the category and city shown help you pick the right one. A page that is not certified with us is not necessarily fake, and a paused page (subscription not renewed) does not appear.

What the tool guarantees — and what it doesn’t

• It guarantees that a verified item was checked by our team and belonged to the certified page owner at the time of verification.
• It does not rate the quality of a brand’s products or services.
• It does not replace your own caution: also read how to spot a fake account.
• It is not linked to Meta, TikTok or other networks: a My Official Links badge is not a badge from those platforms.

Spotted impersonation? Want to be verifiable?

On every certificate, the “Report impersonation” link lets you alert us. You can also use the report form directly. If someone is pretending to be you, read what to do about identity impersonation.
