Verify person is in the US

We are trying to vet people to work on web projects but only want people in the -6 time zone.

It's difficult to verify this.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

How can I have them go to a page, and tell instantly that the IP address is a US one?

Besides Dave's comments about VPN, the IP address you see is that assigned by the ISP, and while in many cases, the ISP is in the same physical location as the person, it's not always the case.
 
On another board, I read about a gent complaining bitterly about his ISP changing his IP so that PayPal now saw him as in a different geographic location and cutting off his services.
