Online fraud identification
Check whether a profile, online merchant, email, contact or platform truly matches what it claims to be. The service covers the online fraud situations flagged by the NCSC: phishing attempts, fake merchant sites, suspicious profiles, identity theft, romance scams and fraud linked to online purchases or classified ads.
- Check whether profile photos have been stolen or repurposed (reverse image search).
- Analyse the consistency of a suspicious profile: account age, activity, narrative inconsistencies, linguistic markers.
- Look up a fraudster's digital footprint in public databases (email address, phone number, alias).
- Examine the headers of a phishing email to identify the actual sending server and manipulation markers.
- Cross-reference existing reports on victim forums, public fraud databases and official lists (FINMA, NCSC).
- Analyse a fake merchant site or suspicious advert (marketplace, classified ads): WHOIS, domain age, hosting provider, mimicry of a legitimate company.
- Trace infrastructure: related domains, other sites operated by the same actor, suspicious redirects.
- Identify markers of phishing, romance scam, advance-fee fraud, CEO fraud, sextortion and fake tech support.
- Precisely identify the natural person behind the account or site.
- Confirm an identity with absolute certainty when public traces are insufficient.
- Access private data that is not public (bank account, private communications, locked accounts).
- Recover money lost or block a transfer already made to a third party.
- Guarantee that no residual risk remains after the analysis.
