BeenVerified?

[Boomyal]

Anyone use this website? Is it for real, not any danger? This morning I got a text message, with a download, from a number that I do not recognize. I did not want to download the attachment without knowing its source. I googled the number and this website offers to tell me who it belongs to. I have yet to hit the button, wanting to know about the site first.

I googled the site and it seems to be legit but decided to post here to find any opinions about it.

If it was me, I'd delete that bad boy unopened. I'm kinda chicken, though. If you crave adventure, go ahead and open it.

Before I delete it, I wanted to see where it came from. That is why I am asking about the website BeenVerified. If BeenVerified is deemed to be a legitimate site, I will see what it tells me before I dump the text.

Have you Googled BeenVerified? It's a background checking site and comes up when you search a persons name.

never download anything from numbers you do not know.

Thanks GA, that is why I asked before hitting the button on BeenVerified. I will delete my search and delete the text whose number I was searching. No dead cat here!

Ayuh, that's what I was kinda getting at. I don't respond to anything on my cellphone unless I recognize the number.
