Seems possible that a neutral third party could be used in the verification process. Just as an example, having someone in Canada's equivalent to the APA or AMA or someone at a University do the verification, at least as much as finding out whether the named individual has a license or whatever....however, I see that doesn't help with the issue of someone posing as someone else. I guess if the neutral party would make a phone call to the named individual, that might be confirmation that it is the right person. But, if it's a scam, that wouldn't really work either.
Just a thought.
