When I started my internet site providing comic book collectors and traders a place to meet online I was oblivious to the nuisance of spam and how two form authentication by TeleSign could help me get rid of it. The sites popularity increased over a few short weeks and we had members signing up from all over the world wanting to establish a connection with comic collectors here. We became so popular that spammers who used superhero avatars to make it seem like they were legitimate users, began to see the value in targeting the site with really tacky ads for porn and Viagra. Many of my customers complained about the sudden increase of spam and in the back of my mind I knew I needed some kind of user authentication software added to the site. I was investing way too much time weeding through and deleting all of the daily ads so I began researching providers of two form authentication.

I came across TeleSign while looking for a security website. I read some of their customer testimonials that reassured me that not only were the solutions from TeleSign effective, they came at an affordable cost to the client. With their unique two form authentication keeping spam of your site is really easy. After deciding on this innovative solution, TeleSign worked with me to integrate their user authentication software into my site without any additional cost relating to hardware or setup. Now when a new or existing user wants to access the site my brand new user authentication software does all the work. Before they can see (or post) site content they are verified by a PIN number that TeleSign sends to their phone. Once they enter this PIN on my site they are granted access to all the content and have rights to add their own posts. Spammers hate to be identified through a phone verification process so they naturally moved on to other unprotected websites to bother their customers. Since adding TeleSign two form authentication solution I haven’t had to deal with spam and the number of happy site users is growing by the day!
