Say Hello to iKarma.com



JUPITER, FLORIDA--May 3, 2006 -- iKarma Selects PhoneConfirm.com for Enhanced Identity Verification. iKarma Inc. (OTC: IKMA), has selected identity verification services from Across Communications Inc., to integrate with iKarma.com. As a leading provider of reputation management services, iKarma will benefit by adding an additional layer of identity verification to its online service.

Consumers have shown that they're willing to pay premium prices to do business with reputable service providers. What every business needs to capture this business is a trusted and credible way to showcase their good reputation. With this additional layer of identity verification, iKarma offers a real solution for any business no matter how large or small.

"We selected the PhoneConfirm.com solution from Across Communications after a nine month search", says Paul Williams, iKarma's CEO. "We found that credit based identity solutions required too much personal disclosure, and anonymous key based solutions weren't practical for our service industry user base. PhoneConfirm.com provides a quick and easy solution that works in over 200 countries, so it fits well with our plans for international expansion."

This service will provide iKarma with an automated, real-time, 24x7, global link a verified phone number during the sign-up process for each new iKarma profile or review. This optimizes the ability of iKarma to stop multiple accounts, spam-related reviews, repeat sign-ups and fake or harassing profiles. "We expect that PhoneConfirm.com will also enable iKarma to decrease legal, social and system costs while increasing online security, credibility and trust", says Scott Pitchford, President of iKarma.

"Because PhoneConfirm.com requires a simple correct response to an automated phone call, this service is far less intrusive than asking for credit-card information, but less easily faked than an anonymous email or street address", said Vadim Mazo, CEO, of PhoneConfirm.com. "It is not easy to constantly create new phone numbers that can be instantaneously verified during each profile sign-up. PhoneConfirm.com enables the verification of phone numbers that can then be tracked and "flagged" when associated with fraud, predatory behavior, scammers or spammers."
