Didier Grossemy
says that many individuals along with businesses and website owners
have fallen foul of the belief that can write anything about anybody

Didier Grossemy has been targeted for the past 7 years tarnishing his professional integrity and reputation as a successful businessman.
This constant cyber bullying has pushed Didier to develop a technology that will make the internet a safer place by creating My Verified ID. My Verified ID will make it impossible for scammers, doubtful individuals to hide behind fake profiles and commit crimes as typically online offenders do not use their own identity to commit online crimes.
