World-check

Yes, you can contact LSEG (who owns WorldCheck now) and ask for a demo. They are usually happy to give free access for a limited period.

I think you can just contact them if it is about yourself

Anyone who wishes to query whether their name is in the World-Check database may do so in accordance with the World-Check privacy statement.

Is there a free/paid way for the average person to look themselves up on the World-check database?

Yes just use link below.

Why would we want to check out name and details in this database? Have you all done it?

Because you know you are a criminal or have bad reputation in press or you got rejected from every single bank in the world and you have no idea why.

I have personally not.

okay had same question but @Martin Everson answered it clear

WorldCheck is an expensive glorified Google used by bank monkeys to tick boxes and satisfy regulatory requirements. So many horror stories about them, just Google. For example Database giant used by banks wrongly flagged up businessman as a terrorism risk

Every whistleblower is on Worldcheck too 🙄
Every acquitted person is on there too (I know - I am)
They do NOT care...until the executives and employees of Worldcheck end up on Worldcheck or their competitors themselves :p

I am in good company then :D

When i checked mine a few years ago there was nothing - didn't even exist in their records, having said that i probably don't exist outside of one state database at its initial record [complicated].

There are indeed many stories about this database, it seems that it is like everything else i.e., Google, Trustpilot, PayPal, Tax Authorities - as soon as they get too much power, they start the slaughter of all the people who do not fit into their box.

I would like to know what an ordinary person on the street can do about it. The EUSSR has certainly not helped with this issue.

What if you sold replica before via PayPal (under a real name) and they closed the account because you sold replica?
Not only that but also a brand like LV submitted a claim in court. is there any chance to know if you are in the World-Check database?
or could be caught at any airport in the world?

You can easily find out: Am I Listed on World-Check?

I abstain from discussing such businesses on open forums, but I submit the following for your reading & educational enjoyment: Why You Should Leave Your Designer Clothing at Home

PS. Bernard Arnault isn't wealthy because he is so intelligent; he is wealthy because he has the state monopoly on violence supporting him. This guy lobbied the sh1t out of "mercenaries."

PSS. I own shares in XPAR:MC ... but I still think the business is "too corrupt" against the competition

yes, I understand but I mean if you can get into trouble in airports if you sell replica before and have a claim with the brand in court.

one of my friends uses his real PayPal and has this problem.

Not unless there is an arrest warrant out for him.

Did you read the article? 🙄

Forward the article to your friend.

You and your friend have NEVER noticed the following warnings at EU airports? 😳

and

Your friend is probably on some or several lists. Has your friend ever been stopped at a border check/airport?
Your friend needs to do his OWN research and maybe hire a defense lawyer. Once LVMH files it in court, Thompson Reuters and others pick it up. Your friend is GOING to be checked for everything (most of the time).

New campaign fights counterfeit fashion. This article is from 2012. It's been over 12 years now. This has really spread.

I know of several website and shop operators doing long prison sentences in France, the UK, and the US due to "replicas".

PS. Just Google "Replica seller arrested" and read them all. ;)

PSS. There is NOTHING any of us can do. Once LVMH files in court, forget it! Your "friend's" defense should have started WAY before he started the business. What is a "condition" the courts ALWAYS exclude? He should have started the process a LONNNNGGGGGGG time ago BEFORE he started selling Replicas. It's TOO late now. Now, it's ANALogous to skydiving and ordering a parachute from Amazon at 3000ft on the way down. 🙄

We don't know if there is an arrest warrant or not. I don't know if world check is able to check that!

My friend never go to Europe, but he plan to do.

Let's say the border police will arrest you, does this apply on all world airports or only USA and Europe?

Note: PayPal have the real name, date of birth and address of my friends but the account is not verified with id card at all.

How much items where sold with that PayPal account? I know people that just got a letter and a small fine of a few hundred bucks for selling Björn borg boxers on online marketplaces in Western Europe. This is already a while ago and I know it's more strict now.

If it's more looks like a real business then he will get more trouble . All depends on the scale of his business. There are enough people sent to jail for being a criminal organization that imports fake goods. And after they will sent also the tax authorities .
