Takedown Research
Scam breakdowns.
We point our scanners at well-known brands, then publish what we find: fake storefronts, copied listings, paid ads, and impersonating accounts, side by side with the real thing.

How this series is made
We follow the evidence
Each brand in this series is selected because it is recognisable and heavily copied. The findings come from what our scanners surface, not from a prepared brief.
The scanner does the research
The same engine our customers use runs the sweep: reverse image matching, certificate monitoring, ad library sweeps, and handle collision checks.
We preserve the evidence
Every report is built from timestamped source and target captures, domain records, storefront signals, and a side-by-side visual assessment.
Scan your own brand

Run the same sweep on your own catalogue. You get every match found, how convincing each one is, and the order we would remove them in.
