Abstract

A first login information for a first user is received. A first user profile associated with the first login information for the first user is received. A call from the first user placed to a second user is intercepted. If the first login information verifies the identity of the first user is determined. Responsive to determining the first login information verifies the first user, the first user profile is transmitted to the second user causing the call from the first user placed to the second user to be forwarded to the second user.

receiving, by one or more computer processors, a first login information for a first user;

receiving, by one or more computer processors, a first user profile associated with the first login information for the first user;

intercepting, by one or more computer processors, a call from the first user placed to a second user;

determining, by one or more computer processors, if the first login information verifies the first user; and

responsive to determining the first login information verifies the first user, transmitting, by one or more computer processors, the first user profile to the second user and causing the call from the first user placed to the second user to be forwarded to the second user.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving a first login information for a first user comprises:

receiving, by one or more computer processors, a login identification for the first user associated with a sign in category; and

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the profile is received from at least one of:

a social network, a government database, or a profile database, wherein the profile database is prepopulated by the first user.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting comprises:

transmitting, by one or more computer processors, the first user profile to the second user via a mobile network and causing the call from the first user placed to the second user to be forwarded to the second user via a mobile network.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

causing the transmitted profile to be displayed to the second user; and

receiving an indication whether the second user accepts the call.
