Fraudly Updates

What’s new at Fraudly

Fraudly is continuously improved to help consumers recognize phishing, fake webshops, suspicious links, and online scams. This page highlights important public updates in plain language. It does not describe internal scoring rules or detection methods in detail, but shows how Fraudly is evolving as an extra safety layer before you click, buy, or share personal information.

  1. Apps & browser extension

    Fraudly mobile update: Check QR codes, screenshots, photos and copied links

    Fraudly’s latest mobile update introduces a new Premium experience for iPhone, iPad and Android. Premium users can now use the new Check Anything hub to scan QR codes, screenshots, photos and copied links directly from the app. Whether you receive a suspicious delivery message, scan a QR code, see a strange link in a screenshot or copy a link from another app, Fraudly helps you create a clear Trust Profile before you click, sign in or pay. On iPhone and iPad, this release also adds Safari integration, making it easier to check websites directly from Safari. This update also improves AI-powered Trust Profiles with clearer explanations, faster scans, better performance and general interface improvements.

    What's new

    This release brings a new Premium experience on iOS and Android, a Check Anything hub for faster access to different scan types, QR code scanning, screenshot and photo analysis, copied link checking, and Safari integration on iPhone and iPad. Trust Profile explanations are clearer, scans are faster, reliability is improved, and the interface includes general polish and bug fixes.

    Free and Premium

    Free users can still check websites with Fraudly. Premium unlocks additional ways to check suspicious content across everyday situations.

  2. Trust Score

    Clearer Trust Profile and confirmed-threat handling

    We improved how Fraudly separates confirmed security threats from reputation, shopping, and business signals. A site is now only marked as Dangerous when confirmed phishing, malware, scam-database, or threat-feed evidence is present. Poor reviews or limited business information now result in cautionary guidance instead of confirmed-threat wording.

    Stricter confirmed-threat detection

    Fraudly now reserves Dangerous ratings for scans with verified threat evidence—such as confirmed phishing, malware, police scam-database listings, or direct threat-feed matches. Weak customer reviews, dropshipping indicators, missing policies, or limited verification no longer trigger confirmed-threat language.

    Clearer Trust Profile dimensions

    Website Safety, Purchase Risk, Business Legitimacy, and Reputation are presented more distinctly on result pages. Technical safety can remain high when no confirmed threat exists, while poor reviews or shopping concerns are explained in calmer, consumer-friendly language.

    Translations updated

    Trust Profile, Overall Trust Rating, and assessment wording were updated across English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese so results read consistently in every supported language.

  3. Trust Score

    Major Trust & Shopping Intelligence Update

    Fraudly has received a major trust-analysis upgrade with improved shopping intelligence, clearer retail confidence signals, better brand verification, improved dropshipping detection, and more accurate website classification.

    Enhanced Shopping Intelligence

    Check results for online stores now include clearer Retail Confidence assessment and improved detection when seller verification is limited. Fraudly highlights dropshipping indicators, possible marketplace models, and fulfillment transparency (such as shipping, third-party sellers, and cross-border fulfillment). Brand and product-authenticity context is presented more clearly—always as guidance, not as an accusation. The integrated “Before You Buy” panel explains purchase risk in plain language, separate from technical website safety.

    Smarter Trust Analysis

    Fraudly better separates technical website safety from shopping reliability on ecommerce sites. Scoring for young or newly registered domains is more balanced, and protected environments—such as banks, enterprise portals, and CDN/WAF-protected domains—are handled more carefully. Legitimate service and platform websites (for example ride-hailing, payments, or developer tools) trigger fewer false shopping warnings, and classification more reliably distinguishes service platforms from genuine online retailers.

    Browser Extension Expansion

    The Fraudly browser extension is now available for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. On the download page you can choose “Add to Chrome” or “Add to Edge” and install from the official store listings—so you can check links and sites quickly in either browser.

    Continuous Improvements

    Behind the scenes, scans are faster and more stable, website availability detection is improved, and consumer-relevant scam signals are extracted more reliably. Result pages received UI and accessibility polish, along with ongoing SEO and multilingual improvements across Fraudly.

  4. Multilingual support

    Country intelligence pages and broader international coverage

    Fraudly added localized country intelligence pages with practical scam context for different regions. Multilingual navigation makes it easier to explore this content in your language, while expanded localized pages improve discoverability for international users searching for scam guidance and website safety tips.

  5. Scam awareness

    Expanded Fraudly Business pilot for teams

    The Fraudly Business pilot is growing with an improved manager dashboard to oversee employee progress. Teams can track scam-awareness certification completion and training milestones in one place—laying groundwork for organization-wide security habits before fraud reaches through the inbox or checkout page.

  6. Trust Score

    More accurate Trust Scores for webshops and new sites

    Fraudly now assesses webshop risk more carefully, with better handling of young ecommerce sites that may not yet have much public reputation. Verification expectations are clearer, trust scores and verdicts are presented more consistently across check results, and overall scam detection feels more reliable when deciding whether to trust a store.

  7. Apps & browser extension

    Fraudly Now Available on Google Play

    Fraudly is now officially available on Google Play—Android users can download the app directly from the Google Play Store. With web, iPhone, Android, and the Chrome extension, Fraudly is now available on every major platform consumers use to browse and shop online. The download page also makes it easier to choose the right option for your device and jump straight to Google Play when you are on Android.

  8. Fake webshop detection

    Added dropshipping pattern indicators

    Fraudly can now highlight possible ad-driven dropshipping patterns, such as vague delivery details, heavy discounting, urgency language, and limited public reputation.

  9. Multilingual support

    Expanded multilingual information pages

    Fraudly’s About, Support, and How it works pages now explain the platform more clearly across English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese.

  10. Trust Score

    Clearer Trust Score explanations

    Fraudly now explains more clearly what the Trust Score means, which signals may influence it, and why a score is an indication rather than a guarantee.

  11. Brand impersonation

    Better brand impersonation checks

    Fraudly improved how it recognizes suspicious websites that imitate well-known brands, online stores, platforms, and services.

  12. Fake webshop detection

    Improved fake webshop detection

    Fraudly now looks at more webshop trust indicators, including business identity, contact information, reputation signals, unrealistic discounts, urgency tactics, and possible dropshipping patterns.

  13. Scam detection

    Public website checker launch

    Fraudly launched as a free website and link checker to help consumers make more informed decisions before clicking, buying, or sharing personal information.

  14. Scam awareness

    Scam awareness certificate

    Fraudly introduced a free scam-awareness certificate that helps users test and improve their ability to recognize phishing, fake webshops, and suspicious online behavior.

  15. Apps & browser extension

    Fraudly mobile app and browser extension

    Fraudly expanded beyond the website with mobile app and browser extension support, making it easier to check links and websites before interacting with them.

Fraudly is a helpful safety tool—not a guarantee. Updates here describe consumer-facing improvements at a high level. Always combine Fraudly with your own judgment and official sources for high-stakes decisions.
