SEE. VERIFY. TRUST.
Frequently asked questions
SPYPS helps you verify something locally before you buy, rent, travel or send money. Below are clear answers about how the platform works, what agents do, and what SPYPS does not replace.
General
What is SPYPS?
SPYPS is a platform that connects you with local agents who visit a location and check something on your behalf before you buy, rent, travel or send money. You describe what you need verified — a product, vehicle, apartment, business or online listing — and receive a practical on-site report with photos, videos and written observations.
How does SPYPS work?
You start with free text, a link, address, photo, document or marketplace listing. SPYPS turns your request into a clear mission. A local agent visits the location, inspects what you asked for, documents what they see, and submits a report. You review the report before deciding your next step.
What can I check with SPYPS?
SPYPS supports many use cases: product verification before buying, used car pre-checks, apartment and real estate viewings, marketplace offer checks, seller or location verification, mystery shopping, local service checks, business checks, and support for international buyers who cannot visit in person.
For customers
How do I start a check?
On the SPYPS homepage, describe what you want verified. You can add a link, address, photo or document. Submit your request and follow the guided flow to clarify the mission. You stay in control of what happens next.
What can I send when starting a request?
You can start with free text, a marketplace or product link, a street address, photos, documents, or a combination. The more context you provide, the clearer the mission for the agent.
For agents
What does a SPYPS agent do?
An agent visits the location, checks the object or situation you described, takes photos and videos, compares the offer with reality, documents visible problems, and submits a structured report through the platform.
How do I become a SPYPS agent?
Agents use the SPYPS agent area to view open missions nearby, accept jobs that match their skills, complete on-site checks, and submit reports. Sign in and follow the agent onboarding flow to get started.
Product checking
Can SPYPS check a product before I buy it?
Yes. You can ask an agent to visit a seller, shop or warehouse, inspect the item, take photos and videos, and compare what they see with the offer. This works for electronics, machinery, collectibles and many other goods where a local look before payment makes sense.
Can SPYPS be used for mystery shopping or service checks?
Yes. You can ask an agent to visit a shop, restaurant, hotel or service provider, observe specific points you define, and report back with photos and notes. Useful for remote owners, franchise checks or pre-investment visits.
Can SPYPS check a business before I invest or partner?
Agents can perform a local presence check — visit an office or site, photograph what is visible, and report whether operations appear consistent with claims. This does not replace financial, legal or technical due diligence.
Used car checking
Can SPYPS inspect used cars?
Yes. An agent can visit the vehicle, take exterior and interior photos, record a walkaround video if requested, note visible condition issues, and compare the car with the listing. This is a practical pre-check before you travel or pay a deposit — not a certified mechanical inspection.
Is a SPYPS car check a full mechanical inspection?
No. A SPYPS car check is a visual pre-inspection based on what the agent can see and document on site. For engine, chassis or accident history depth, hire a certified mechanic or inspection service in addition.
Real estate checking
Can SPYPS check apartments or real estate?
Yes. Agents can visit a property, confirm it exists at the stated address, capture photos and video, note visible condition, and check basic points you specify — such as neighbourhood access or whether the unit matches listing photos. SPYPS does not replace a formal property appraisal or legal due diligence.
Can SPYPS check a rental apartment before I sign?
Yes. An agent can visit the unit, capture the current condition, verify it matches listing photos, and check points you care about — such as building access, neighbourhood or visible damage — before you pay a deposit or travel to sign.
Marketplace & scam prevention
Can SPYPS help avoid scams?
SPYPS can help reduce risk by confirming whether a location, seller or offer looks real and matches the listing. An agent can document visible red flags and inconsistencies. SPYPS does not guarantee fraud protection and is not a substitute for legal advice or official investigations.
Can SPYPS verify an online marketplace listing?
Yes. Share the listing link and what you want confirmed — for example whether the seller address exists, whether the product looks as described, or whether a meeting location seems legitimate. The agent reports what they can verify on site.
Can SPYPS verify a seller or business location?
Agents can visit a stated address, photograph the premises, and note whether a business appears operational or consistent with the offer. This is observational verification, not a formal company registry or credit check.
Reports, photos & videos
What does a SPYPS report include?
A report can include photos, videos, written comments, visible condition notes, comparison with the listing, availability confirmation, and answers to additional questions you asked. Content depends on what is visible and accessible during the visit.
Will I receive photos and videos?
Most missions include photos. Video is added when you request it and when the agent can safely record it. You see the media in your report along with written notes from the visit.
Pricing
How much does SPYPS cost?
Pricing depends on the mission — location, scope, urgency and what the agent needs to check. You define your request first; costs are shown before you commit to a paid step. SPYPS focuses on practical local verification rather than one fixed price for every job.
When do I pay?
SPYPS is designed so you understand the mission before committing to payment steps in the flow. Exact payment timing depends on the job type and stage of the process shown in your request.
International availability
Can I use SPYPS from another country?
Yes. SPYPS is built for buyers, renters and travellers who need someone on the ground where the item, vehicle or property is located. You manage the request remotely and receive a report you can review before travelling or paying.
Where is SPYPS available?
SPYPS works internationally wherever local agents are available for a mission. Availability depends on the location and type of check. Start a request with the address or area you care about to see what is possible.
SPYPS vs. professional experts
Does SPYPS replace a professional expert?
No. SPYPS does not replace certified experts, mechanics, appraisers, lawyers or official inspectors. It provides practical on-site verification with photos, videos and observation-based reports to help you reduce risk before the next step — such as hiring a specialist or completing a purchase.
Does SPYPS provide legal guarantees?
No. SPYPS provides observation-based local reports to support your decision. It does not offer legal guarantees, certifications or warranties about an item, property, seller or transaction outcome.
