Help catch website fraud

A ccount creation fraud is when an online web account is created using fraudulent information. It's a widespread problem that affects most websites where user accounts can be created online. Sometimes these fraudulent accounts are simply a nuisance, but often their intent can be malicious. Fraudsters create fake accounts for many reasons:


  • Identity theft
  • Purchase of goods with stolen credit cards
  • Leaving disinformation or illegal content on public forums
  • Searching for website vulnerabilities to be hacked or exploited
  • Taking advantage of free trials and services your business may offer
