The money stays put
until the ticket
checks out.
Pruva is proof that what you're buying is real — before you commit. We do the homework two strangers can't do for each other and tell you in plain English whether it's legit. If it checks out, the deal closes. If it doesn't, you walk away without losing a cent.

- ✕Large platform fees bundled with discovery.
- ✕Only works if you list on their platform.
- ✕Doesn't help the deal that started in a group chat.
- ✕A separate account, a separate flow, a separate world.
Real protection at a fraction of the cost — wherever the deal lives.
We don't fix scams.
We make them unprofitable.
One link. Three beats. Proof, not a promise.
Either of you spins up a link.
You or them — about a minute, no account hoops. Paste the link wherever the conversation is already happening: DMs, group chat, story reply, text.
The buyer pays first. Always.
The money goes straight to our regulated bank partner. Not us. Not the seller. Once it lands, the engine wakes up — not a moment before.
Many checks. One answer.
The engine runs a stack of checks behind the scenes — what's in the stack stays between us. (The scammers can keep guessing.) Passes: seller gets paid. Fails: you get a full refund. No drama.
A lot going on behind the curtain.
One plain-English verdict in front of it.
Our engine runs a stack of independent checks — the kind anyone would expect, plus a bunch nobody would. We don't list them, and that's on purpose. Scammers read websites too. Publish our playbook, they engineer around it. So the recipe stays between us. The verdict still comes back in plain English.
The recipe stays between us.
Publishing what we look for would just hand the scammers a checklist. We're keeping them guessing — together.
One step ahead, always.
As the scammers evolve, so does the engine. The trick that slipped through last month doesn't slip through this month.
No single signal calls it.
The whole picture decides — pattern, history, context, and a lot of things that don't make obvious sense to look at. Faking one signal doesn't fool the rest.
Quiet. Fast. Constant.
The engine wakes up the second a deal opens and keeps working until the verdict lands. The work stays invisible. The answer doesn't.
One sentence at the end.
Not a security report. Not a forms-three-pages-long thing. Just "verified" or "refunded" — both back in under a minute. The scammers hate it. We're fine with that.
Two people. One fix.
Fraction of a marketplace. Crystal clear.

Answers, not asterisks.
Is my money actually safe?
Yep. Your money sits at our regulated bank partner the whole time — never with us, never with the seller. If verification fails, your card gets refunded automatically.
What if the ticket doesn't check out?
You get a full refund automatically. No appeals, no support tickets, no awkward DMs with the seller. The verification report tells you what happened — in plain English, not legalese.
Does the seller ever see my payment details?
Never. They see your first name and a last initial — that's it. Pruva doesn't touch the payment itself; that runs through a regulated payment processor. Neither the seller nor anyone at Pruva ever sees the digits on your card.
