    Your Safety is Our Foundation

    FrostBoard is built on three layers of trust: verification, reputation, and AI-powered monitoring.

    Three Layers of Trust

    Layer 1: Verification Gates

    Before anyone can sell, they prove they're real. Different categories require different levels of verification.

    • Basic: Email + Phone verified → General browsing and buying
    • Verified: SMS code confirmed → Post listings, leave reviews
    • ID Verified: Government ID reviewed → Firearms, aircraft, vehicles over $5K, pets, real estate
    • Dealer Verified: Business license + ID → Commercial seller badge and tools

    Layer 2: Community Reputation

    Every transaction builds history. Every review matters.

    • Star ratings from real transactions
    • Review count displayed on every profile
    • Response time and rate tracked
    • Verification badges visible everywhere
    • Bad actors get exposed fast — reputation is currency here

    Layer 3: AI Monitoring

    Our systems watch for fraud patterns 24/7.

    • Price anomaly detection (suspicious pricing flagged instantly)
    • Listing pattern analysis (scam templates caught automatically)
    • Account behavior monitoring (suspicious activity triggers review)
    • Image verification (stock photos and duplicates detected)

    Why We Require ID for Some Categories

    Firearms. Aircraft. Vehicles worth tens of thousands. Remote properties you can't easily visit. These aren't casual transactions.

    For high-value and regulated categories, we require ID verification. It costs $5 one-time, takes about 2 minutes, and protects everyone involved.

    Scammers won't pay $5 to get caught. Legitimate sellers are happy to prove they're real. It's friction that filters out the bad actors.

    Protect Yourself

    For Buyers

    • Check seller verification badges
    • Read reviews from past transactions
    • Ask questions — legitimate sellers respond
    • Meet in safe, public locations when possible
    • Never wire money or pay in gift cards
    • If it seems too good to be true, it probably is

    For Sellers

    • Complete verification to build trust
    • Respond promptly to inquiries
    • Be honest in your descriptions
    • Document condition with clear photos
    • Report suspicious buyers

    See Something? Say Something.

    If you encounter suspicious activity, report it immediately. Every report helps us protect the community.
