Why now

With AI, a forgery is built in no time. Removing it takes evidence and the right channel.

“A replacement domain costs a few euros and is registered the same day. That's why none of our cases ends with the find.”Our principle

  1. Day 0

    Address registered

    A third-party domain costs a few euros. Your name goes first so the link looks genuine.

  2. Day 1

    Page cloned

    Logo, text and forms are copied, whether it's a login page, a website or a verification page.

  3. Day 3

    Put into circulation

    Phishing emails, ads and channels lead people to the copy.

  4. Day 10

    Damage done

    Customers enter their credentials. Employers accept forged certificates as real.

  5. With AI Fraud Protect

    Reported, assessed, removed

    One tip through your report widget or one hit in a scan is enough. The AI assesses the page right away, and the case is carried through to removal.

How it works

From detection to removal. Six steps, each one in the app.

You define once what needs protecting: your domains, with your real pages as references. From then on, reports and scans run continuously, and every case is carried through to the end.

Collect reports 01

Anyone who has a suspicious link in front of them reports it through the report widget on your website. The AI analyzes every report with a screenshot.

Scan domains 02

On a schedule, the domain scanner checks up to 20,000 variants of your domains, with typos, homoglyphs and add-ons like login.

Assess with AI 03

The AI compares every find with your real page, on desktop and mobile. It rates the risk and names what was copied. Inconclusive cases are reviewed by a person.

Secure evidence 04

Screenshots, WHOIS, DNS, hosting, SSL, the AI analysis report and your trademark evidence go into one evidence package per case, from the very first scan.

Report through every channel 05

Host, registrar, DNS provider and Google Safe Browsing, in parallel and with grounds that fit the framing. Every message is reviewed and sent by a person.

Follow up until offline 06

The live status shows per channel what has been sent, acknowledged or is still open. If a response doesn't come, follow-ups and escalation are next. Every reply lands in the takedown inbox.

All views are AI Fraud Protect interfaces with sample data.

Report widget

Many forgeries can't be found by any search. Whoever has the link finds them for you.

Fake verification pages and phishing links hide behind long subdomains and parameters that only appear in the QR code or the email. With the report widget, employers, authorities and customers report the link right on your website.

On your website

Anyone in doubt reports the link or uploads the certificate as a PDF. An image captcha and a limit per IP address keep spam out.

In AI Fraud Protect

One line of code. You set position, color and language yourself, in English or German. All reports land in one place instead of scattered across inboxes.

Reporting channels

Five channels, used in parallel

Depending on the framing, AI Fraud Protect suggests the right channels and gives grounds for every report.

Hosting provider

Send first

The fastest lever. Depending on the framing, the notice relies on the Digital Services Act, the host's terms of service and, for exact copies, copyright. A notice that meets the requirements of the DSA must be processed.

DSA Art. 16

Registrar

Lasting effect

The registrar can suspend the domain. Reports cite fraud or phishing, and for brand forgery also your trademark rights. If the registrar doesn't respond, an ICANN complaint follows.

ICANN RAA §3.18

DNS provider

In parallel

The DNS provider gets a report too, usually through its abuse form. It often forwards it to the host, which adds pressure.

Abuse form

Google Safe Browsing

Warns right away

Once Google lists the page, Chrome, Firefox and Safari block it. That protects visitors while the host is still reviewing.

Report form

DENIC and UDRP

With trademark evidence

For .de domains, the DENIC dispute procedure is available; for other extensions, the UDRP. AI Fraud Protect prepares the draft, and your law firm files it.

New copies appear every day. Each one becomes a case until it's offline.

Diligence and limits

Detection runs automatically. Sending never does.

Reporting on behalf of a brand comes with responsibility. That's why AI Fraud Protect follows fixed rules, the same in the product and in the contract.

Sent by a person
Every message is reviewed and sent by a person, by email or through the provider's form. Nothing goes out without a click.
Mandate and power of attorney
We only report with a written mandate and power of attorney from the rights holder. We sort out both during onboarding.
Every step documented
The activity history records who initiated a takedown, changed a status or sent a report, and when.
Partners stay untouched
Your domains and partners are on the ignore list and won't be reported. Inconclusive cases are reviewed by a person.
No legal services
Cease-and-desist letters, injunctions and criminal complaints stay with your legal department or law firm. We deliver the file.
Data protection
We only process data about suspected forgers as far as the case requires, and on behalf of the rights holder.
Solutions

Trust attracts imitators

Organizations whose name confirms something are hit hardest: certificates, degrees, logins.

Language test providers

Levels people want to buy

Certificates at B1, B2 or C1 open doors to residence, study and work. That's why their verification pages get copied so often.

Testing and certification bodies

Registers that get copied

Whoever copies your register confirms every forgery as valid. We find the copy and take it offline.

Distance-learning universities

Degrees that are confirmed online

Diploma mills live on pages that look real. Every copy of your confirmation page is found, assessed and reported through all channels.

Chambers and associations

Certificates with their own verification page

Anyone forging your certificates needs a page that confirms them. We find it through reports and scans and take it offline.

Training providers and platforms with logins

Phishing in your name

Fake login pages steal credentials and damage your reputation. There is a dedicated framing for this, and hosts give phishing reports top priority.

Groups with many brands

Many brands, one platform

Every brand gets its own organization with its own domains, scans and widget. AI Fraud Protect is multi-tenant and can run in your brand's look.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers on search, evidence, reporting and getting started. Your question isn't here? We'll answer it in the demo.

Request a demo
Does AI Fraud Protect also cover phishing and cloned websites?

Yes. AI Fraud Protect finds lookalike domains, cloned websites, phishing pages and fake verification pages using your name. For every case you choose the framing: phishing, brand forgery or certificate forgery. That determines the channels and the grounds for every report. Hosts give phishing reports top priority.

How is AI Fraud Protect different from a monitoring service?

A find on its own doesn't help much: a new domain costs a few euros and is registered the same day. AI Fraud Protect carries every case further. The AI assesses the find against your real page, the evidence package is compiled automatically, reports go out through several channels at once, and the live status shows where a response is missing, until the page is offline.

Why isn't searching the web enough?

Many fake verification pages and phishing links sit under long subdomains that start with your name, and only show the forgery with certain parameters, for example from the QR code on a forged certificate. Without those parameters, the page shows nothing that points to you, and no variant of your domain leads there. That's why the report widget is one of the most important sources: whoever has the link in front of them reports it in full or uploads the PDF, and AI Fraud Protect analyzes the page right away.

Where do we embed the report widget?

Where verifiers and customers look: on your website, your login page and your results or verification page. It takes one line of code. You set position, color and language in AI Fraud Protect. An image captcha and a limit per IP address keep spam out. All reports land in one place instead of scattered across emails.

Where does AI Fraud Protect search?

The domain scanner generates variants of your protected domains, with typos, homoglyphs and terms like login, certificate or exam, and checks the hits automatically on a schedule. Domains without content but with risk, such as parked, for sale or under construction with your favicon, stay on the watchlist and are rescanned. On top of that come reports through the report widget and manual scans by domain or CSV.

How long does a removal take?

In our experience, between two and fourteen days. It mainly depends on the hosting provider, the registrar and the country the page is hosted in. That's why we report through several channels at once, and a browser warning via Google Safe Browsing protects people even before the page is gone.

Do you provide legal services?

No. We put the file together. Cease-and-desist letters, injunctions and criminal complaints are handled by your legal department or law firm. For that, you get the evidence package, the correspondence from the takedown inbox and, if you want, a UDRP draft.

What do you need from us to get started?

A written mandate and power of attorney from the rights holder, your trademark evidence, the domains to be protected with your real pages as references, a person who sends the reports, and a list of your partners and resellers.

How do you avoid reporting our partners?

Your own domains and partners go on the ignore list and won't be reported. Inconclusive cases go to manual review. Detection runs automatically, sending never does: every message is reviewed and sent by a person.

What's in the evidence package?

Screenshots of the page, including archived ones from earlier scans, WHOIS data, DNS records, hosting and IP, the SSL certificate details, the AI analysis report and your trademark evidence. For reports through the widget, the full link is included. The package is compiled automatically from the analysis data, attached to every report when you send it and can be downloaded as a ZIP.

What happens if the page resurfaces?

Closed cases keep being scanned. If a domain becomes reachable again or its risk rises, you see it in the history, in the Change column and on the watchlist. The evidence from the first case is already there, and the takedown can be initiated again right away.

Do we have to issue with Virtualbadge.io?

No, AI Fraud Protect works without it too. Signed credentials make it easier: what is issued with a signature can be verified, and a copy stands out faster. Learn more at Virtualbadge.io.

When is AI Fraud Protect available?

Right now. AI Fraud Protect is live, and setup takes about 15 minutes.
