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.

Fraudly can now help you check more than websites
Fraudly is growing from a website checker into a personal online trust platform for websites, screenshots, QR codes, and images. With Premium tools on the Fraudly website, you can now review different kinds of online situations from one Fraudly account—helping you decide what deserves your trust online.
New in Fraudly Premium
• Screenshot analysis • QR code check • AI Image Analysis • One Premium across supported platforms • Clearer explanations and practical next steps
Screenshot analysis
Upload a screenshot of a suspicious message, email, or ad. Fraudly reviews the content, highlights possible links, and explains in plain language which signals matter.
QR code check
See where a QR code leads before you open it. Fraudly shows the destination and helps you judge whether it looks trustworthy—without opening the link automatically.
AI Image Analysis
Upload an image, product photo, ad, or screenshot. Fraudly analyses what it shows, which details stand out, and what origin information is available when present. Where possible, Fraudly reviews notable visual characteristics, available metadata, possible editing-software traces, possible AI origin, Content Credentials when they are present, and practical next steps. Fraudly always makes clear what can and cannot be confirmed. An AI-generated image is not automatically fraudulent—the risk arises when an image is used to mislead someone. A specific AI tool can only be named when sufficient metadata or provenance evidence exists. Now available with Fraudly Premium — one Premium across every supported platform.
One account, one Premium
One Fraudly account. One Premium. Every supported platform. Your Premium access belongs to your account—not a single device. Premium follows you wherever you sign in on supported Fraudly platforms, including the website, iPhone, iPad, Android, Chrome, and Edge where available. Your Premium entitlement follows your account; feature availability may vary by platform.
Clearer, more honest explanations
The new analyses use the same plain-language style as the rest of Fraudly. You see what Fraudly found, which signals are reassuring, which details may need extra attention, what could not be confirmed, and what you can do next. Fraudly does not give a hard verdict when there is not enough evidence.
Privacy when you upload images
Uploaded images are processed to perform the analysis you request. Fraudly does not permanently store the original image file. Avoid uploading unnecessary sensitive information.

On iPhone and iPad, this release also adds Safari integration, making it easier to check websites directly from Safari.

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.

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