How to verify an overseas buyer
- Copy the company name, e-mail, website, address and phone from the inquiry – at least one; more details give a better answer.
- Choose the buyer’s country and click “Verify buyer”. From the B2B Lead Finder, “Verify this buyer” fills it in for you.
- Read the trust score and red flags: permanently closed, address not found, residential address, e-mail and website mismatch, brand-new domain and more, each with the reason.
- Sign in to see the storefront on Street View, then decide whether to send samples, quote, or ask for a video factory tour.

Data and compliance
What you enter is sent to XunL, which checks it live with Google Maps Platform’s official APIs (Places, Address Validation, Street View) and public DNS/RDAP. We keep only usage counters – no company names, e-mails, addresses, phones or Street View images; the image is relayed once and never cached.
Frequently asked questions
How is the trust score calculated?
It starts at 70. Strong red flags – permanently closed, address not found, domain does not exist – cost 25–40 points each; residential address, domain younger than 90 days, no mail server or phone and address in different countries cost 8–15; operational status, business address, a matching domain older than 3 years and plenty of reviews add 5–10. The total is capped to 0–100.
Is a buyer using Gmail a scam?
No. Many small importers and individual buyers use free e-mail, so it only costs a few points and never decides on its own. Look at the address, website, Street View and phone together.
Where does the data come from? Do you store it?
Business data comes from Google Maps Platform’s official Places API, addresses from the Address Validation API, the storefront from Street View, and domain facts from public DNS and RDAP. We store only usage counters – never company names, e-mails, addresses, phones or Street View images.
How many checks are free?
Guests get 1 check a day (with verification, without the storefront image). Free accounts get 10 a month and 3 a day; Pro 200 a month; Max 800 a month.
Why is there no Street View for some companies?
Street View does not cover every street – many industrial parks, private estates and some countries have none. Missing Street View costs no points; ask for a video tour or business licence instead.
Can this replace a credit report?
No. It quickly filters shell companies, residential addresses, closed businesses and inconsistent inquiries, but it is not customs data or a Dun & Bradstreet report and cannot prove a company is an importer.
