Stop Fake Listings and Fraudulent Registrations

If you run a marketplace, directory, or platform where users register and list services, you know the problem: fake accounts, spam listings, and fraudulent registrations that erode trust and drive away real users.

improvement in user trust scores

The Problem

  • Fake seller or provider registrations flood your platform with spam listings that drive away real users
  • Bot-created accounts post fake reviews and ratings, destroying trust in your marketplace
  • Fraudulent listings use stolen photos and descriptions to scam buyers or collect personal data
  • Manual moderation doesn't scale — you can't review every registration and listing by hand
  • Legitimate users leave when they encounter too many fake listings or unresponsive sellers

The Solution

  • Score every registration and listing submission against 30+ validation signals in real-time
  • Email and phone validation ensures registrants have real, verifiable contact information
  • Behavioral analysis detects automated registration scripts and bot-driven listing creation
  • IP intelligence flags registrations from VPNs, datacenters, and known fraud networks
  • Velocity detection catches bulk account creation from the same device or network
  • Quality scores let you auto-approve trusted registrations and flag suspicious ones for review
