Find and shut down the fake stores stealing your customers and their payment data

Fake e-commerce shop scams surged 790% last year. Attackers clone your product pages, replicate your checkout experience, and run ads targeting your customers. These sites steal payment information, deliver nothing, and leave your brand holding the blame.

Fake store detection and takedown built for retail brands

Counterfeit stores are no longer crude knockoffs with broken English and stock photos. Attackers use AI to instantly generate clones replicatinge your product catalog, branding, and checkout flow in hours. They run paid ads alongside yours, rank in organic search, and intercept customers who think they’re buying from you. Periodic monitoring and manual investigations cannot keep pace.

Detect cloned stores and fake checkout pages across the open web

Allure Intelligence scans over 1.5 billion URLs daily, matching product imagery, brand assets, and site structure against your legitimate web presence. We identify full-site clones, selective product page copies, and fraudulent checkout flows, including those hosted on trusted platforms designed to evade blocklists.

Analyst validation confirms real threats and filters the noise

Not every lookalike is malicious. Our analysts investigate flagged sites, confirm fraudulent intent, and classify each threat before action is taken. You receive validated findings and evidence packages, not a list of URLs that might be problems. False positives stay under 1%.

Block customer access in minutes, complete removal in hours

Our 24/7 operations team works directly with registrars, hosting providers, ad networks, and search engines to shut down fake stores. Median time from detection to blocking: 15 minutes, reaching 95% of internet-connected devices. We also flag fraudulent paid ads for removal, cutting off the traffic source attackers depend on.

Track patterns so repeat offenders are caught faster

Attackers who profit from fake stores don’t stop after one takedown. They register new domains, spin up new infrastructure, and try again. We track attacker patterns, infrastructure reuse, and campaign signatures so repeat operations are flagged faster and disrupted earlier. Each takedown makes the next one faster.

How fake online store protection works

From first detection to confirmed removal, we handle the entire threat lifecycle so your team can focus on the business, not chasing counterfeit sites.

Detect

AI continuously scans the web for sites cloning your products, branding, and checkout pages. Detection covers new domains, deep paths on existing hosts, and paid ad campaigns.

Validate

Our 24/7 SOC investigates every flagged site, confirms malicious intent, and builds evidence packages documenting the threat. You see confirmed fakes, not raw alerts.

Eliminate

We work with registrars, hosts, ad platforms, and search engines to take down fake stores and block customer access. Documentation supports legal, compliance, and executive review.

Persist

We monitor for re-emergence and infrastructure reuse. Attacker patterns are tracked so new sites from repeat operators are caught and actioned faster each time.

Continuous monitoring across your retail attack surface
