Stop Fake Account Registrations Before Fraud Begins

Fraudsters can create fake accounts at scale using disposable emails, virtual phone numbers, synthetic identities, stolen information, bots, VPNs, and other tools designed to bypass traditional registration controls. IPQS helps businesses identify high-risk users before fraudulent accounts are created.

Evaluate device intelligence, IP reputation, email and phone signals, proxy and VPN activity, and other risk indicators during registration.

Eliminate Fake Registrations with IPQS Fraud Prevention

Fake registrations allow fraudsters to gain access to promotions, free trials, services, and other resources using fabricated or stolen information. Disposable email addresses, virtual phone numbers, automated bots, compromised identities, VPNs, and other tools can make fraudulent signups difficult to distinguish from legitimate users.

IPQS helps businesses evaluate new registrations in real time using multiple fraud signals. Analyze IP reputation, device intelligence, email addresses, phone numbers, and network characteristics together to identify suspicious users before they become established accounts.

Risk signals can be used to automatically accept legitimate registrations while challenging, reviewing, or blocking users who present elevated fraud risk. This allows businesses to strengthen account creation without adding unnecessary friction for legitimate customers.

Prevent New Account Fraud at Signup

Fraudsters can use fake identities, disposable contact information, stolen credentials, bots, and anonymized connections to create accounts that appear legitimate. Detecting these signals during registration gives businesses an opportunity to stop account creation fraud before suspicious users gain access to their platform.

IPQS evaluates registration activity in real time using multiple risk signals, including IP reputation, device intelligence, email and phone information, proxy and VPN detection, and behavioral indicators. Businesses can use these signals to identify suspicious registrations and decide whether to accept, challenge, review, or block a new account.

Combining multiple signals also helps reduce false positives. A single compromised email address or IP address does not necessarily indicate fraud, so IPQS provides additional context to help distinguish legitimate users from suspicious registration patterns.
