What happened to Date-Check?

I realize this verification service is defunct but I still see some providers advertise acceptance of this service for verification purposes. I remember the website was archaic and became worse when it changed ownership but I had a lifetime membership and the most approvals so it’s worth an ask. Does anyone have anything to add other than they changed ownership and then closed down?

I also had a lifetime membership. The owner sold it and the new owners screwed all the members. At first, they wouldn't honor the old members but then they changed their policy. But by then, they had lost everyone and installed new software that didn't work.

P411, on the other hand, continues to be useful. A year ago, they stopped accepting new members but they just announced a couple of weeks ago that they are going to start taking on new clients. The current owner announced she's leaving a few days later, so let's hope it's not a repeat of what happened at Date-Check.

DC was the best.. nice and simple and offered lifetime memberships. However they sold the rights to an agency from boston and they got busted. Feds seized everything including the newly purchased DC. Freaked alot of people out cuz DC had alot of personal info of members. DC was going downhill since the update and the feds seizing it was the last nail.

DC going away literally pushed all the business to p411 and rs2k but mostly to p411. P411 is great but cost wise and advertisement is nothing compared to DC. And yes owner is retiring but assured us that “we are in good hands” lol. As we all kno new management never goes as plan but we will have to see. To answer your questions on why providers still “accept Date-check” is probably because they forgot to update their websites because back in the days providers got paid to advertise DC on their websites.

You describe my experience exactly. I let my P411 membership lapse an was just now considering signing up again. My understanding is that I’ll be grandfathered in and not considered new but if it’s sold I’m probably out of luck. I’ll have to check it out to see.

IMHO - if you need these services look elsewhere.
Theres a bigger world outside of amps... i got verified with epm thru Date check and if it wasnt for the fosta shit storm wouldve gotten verified with CP thru p411... also got thru with touring girls on p411 .. the point is if you plan to stick with amp then these services are useless but if you decide to venture onto indies its something to consider...

Fyi some agency still uses p411 because they still have access to individual accounts of providers before they banned all agencies...
