Paid Ad Scam Protection

Paid advertising has become a primary attack vector for brand abuse. Fraudsters create fake ads using your brand name, trademarks, and messaging to capture high-intent traffic and redirect users to scam sites or counterfeit listings. These ads often appear alongside your legitimate campaigns, making them difficult to distinguish.

Traditional monitoring is limited and reactive, leaving gaps in visibility across platforms and geographies. BrandShield continuously scans search engines and social media platforms to detect fraudulent ads, identify impersonation patterns, and enable faster removal before damage escalates.

Ad Fraud Beyond Individual Campaigns

Paid ad scams are rarely isolated incidents. Attackers operate across multiple accounts, campaigns, and platforms, continuously launching new ads to replace those taken down. These coordinated efforts are designed to scale quickly and evade detection.

BrandShield uses AI-driven clustering to identify these connections, mapping how fraudulent ads, domains, and accounts are linked. This allows teams to move beyond one-off removals and disrupt entire scam operations, reducing recurrence and protecting long-term campaign performance.
