Fraud & Copycat Site Monitoring

CS-requested: detect fake shops and copycat listings selling knockoff MM products or impersonating the brand.

⏱ Est. 20 hours (estimate) Customer ServicePriority: MEDUpdated July 28, 2026

What & why

Requested by Customer Service. Systematically find copycat sites, fraudulent sellers and impersonation ads; assemble evidence packets for takedowns.

The plan — step by step

  1. Scope with CS: known copycat patterns, past incidents, current manual process
  2. Detection sweep: image + brand-term searches (Firecrawl/Apify), domain-variation checks, marketplace listing scans
  3. If the Motion trial lands: competitor ad-library scans for impersonation ads
  4. Evidence packets: screenshots, URLs, dates — formatted for takedown requests
  5. Scheduled re-sweeps with a new-findings digest

Reasoning & trade-offs

Pairs naturally with the reputation-tracking build (shared collection infrastructure)
Higher estimate than reputation tracking because detection requires image matching and iterative tuning
