Not Everyone Visiting Your Site Is Real — Here’s How to Spot the Fakes

You check your site traffic and see hundreds of visitors. Great, right? But what if half of them aren’t even real people?

With IP Intelligence, you can finally see the truth. It detects VPNs, proxies, and risky IPs — giving you the insights to: Filter fake signups, Stop ad fraud, Fix messy analytics, Target verified, trustworthy users Our new post breaks down how IP Intelligence takes you from basic location data to actionable marketing insights. No more wasting budget on fake traffic. No more guessing which users are real. Just smarter decisions, better campaigns, and stronger ROI. 👉 Want to see how it works?

Think an IP address is just numbers? Think again.

Every time someone visits your site, their IP drops hints: where they’re connecting from, their ISP, their device type, even if they’re hiding behind a VPN or shady proxy.

That’s huge for catching fraud. Imagine spotting… Multiple accounts from the same IP Logins bouncing between countries overnight Bots scraping your site

Alone, an IP can’t tell you everything—no names, no emails, no intent. But paired with email lookups + behavior patterns, you get the full story.

That’s exactly what fraudo.io does: real-time fraud scoring that keeps your business safe.

Stop Bots From Burning Your Budget

You launch a Google Ads campaign. The clicks roll in. Your boss is thrilled. But when you check conversions… nada. Nothing. Zilch.

What’s happening? Not all traffic is good traffic. Some visitors are bots endlessly crawling your pages. Others are click farms—real people being paid pennies just to click your ads. And then there’s the spam signups and credential-stuffing bots trying to break into your site.

If your analytics are telling you things like:

500 “visitors” from a country you don’t even serve

Bounce rates hovering at 100%

Sessions that last a second …then you’re probably seeing fake traffic.

Why it matters:

Your ad money goes up in smoke

Analytics become useless for making real decisions

Security risks increase

Real user experience suffers

How to fight back:

Block shady IPs before they hit your site

CAPTCHAs & MFA make life harder for bots

Firewalls & rate limits filter junk traffic automatically

Email checks prevent disposable accounts from polluting your database

Fraudo.io makes all this simple: IP lookup, email verification, cleaner analytics, and ad spend protection—all without needing advanced technical skills.

Don’t let fake traffic ruin your website. Start detecting it today. Read the full post here

Your Email List Could Be Costing You More Than You Think

You’ve built your list, crafted your campaign, hit send… and then: Open rates drop Clicks disappear Bounce rates shoot through the roof

Sound familiar? The culprit is often hiding in plain sight — bad emails.

We’re talking:

Typos like gmil.com instead of gmail.com

Fake signups from bots chasing freebies

Disposable inboxes that vanish in 24 hours

Spam traps that tank your sender reputation

Here’s the ugly truth — sending to bad addresses doesn’t just waste money. It tells email providers you’re probably a spammer. Once that reputation drops, even your best messages might land straight in the junk folder.

That’s where email verification comes in. It: Filters out fakes before they even hit your list Cleans old data so more emails actually reach inboxes Protects your brand from blacklists Saves you from paying to send to dead addresses

The best part? It’s fast, automatic, and can run in real time.

If you rely on email for marketing, onboarding, or customer updates, this is one of the simplest ways to boost deliverability, improve engagement, and cut costs instantly.

💡 In my latest blog, I break down exactly how email verification works, the best times to run it, and how to pair it with proxy detection to stop fake signups in their tracks.

Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever—are you keeping up?

Hackers aren’t just knocking on your digital door anymore—they’re picking the locks, sneaking in through side windows, and sometimes wearing the disguise of a trusted visitor.

That’s why IP Reputation and Risk Scoring have become the unsung heroes of modern security.

IP Reputation = the “digital passport” that tells you whether an IP has a clean history or a shady past (think spam, malware, or brute-force attacks). Risk Scoring = the smart grading system that ranks each IP from low to high risk—so you know exactly who’s worth blocking before they cause damage.

When you combine the two, you’re not just reacting to attacks—you’re predicting and stopping them before they happen.

In our latest guide on Fraudo.io, we break down:

How reputation scoring actually works

The telltale signs of a “bad” IP

How to plug it into your firewall, SIEM, or WAF

Why it’s a game-changer for stopping targeted attacks

If you’ve ever had to clean up after a breach, you already know: prevention beats panic every time.

Unmasking Hidden Users: Why Proxy & VPN Detection Could Save Your Business

Every day, fraudsters are slipping into platforms under the cover of VPNs, proxies, and TOR. They look like regular visitors—until you notice:

Multiple free trial signups from the same masked IP

Suspicious checkout failures from different “locations”

Chargebacks piling up from anonymous users

Here’s the truth: Not all VPN users are criminals. Some just want privacy. But mixed in are bots, scammers, and policy violators costing businesses thousands.

That’s why smart companies use IP lookup tools to: Check IP reputation in real time Detect hosting providers & data centers used by VPNs Spot TOR traffic instantly Combine IP intel with email, phone, and device data to avoid false positives

The result? You catch fraud before it happens—without slowing down real customers.

If you run a SaaS, e-commerce store, fintech app, or gaming platform, proxy & VPN detection isn’t optional anymore—it’s protection you can’t afford to skip.

See how tools like Fraudo.io flag risky traffic in milliseconds and fit right into your existing signup or payment flow.
