Detect and block scammers automatically

The Scammer detection endpoint recognizes images commonly used by scammers and fraudsters. This is useful if you want to reduce fraud, remove fake profiles and block misleading users.

Extensive database of 40,000 references

We have built an extensive database of images and profiles commonly used in so-called "romance scams" and "nigerian scams".

Works with unknown images

The scam detection engine works by recognizing faces of people known to be used in scammer profiles. So even if a given image of such a person is completely new and unknown to our database, we will be able to flag it.
