    • Scamadviser Business Services

    Scamadviser offers several services for businesses to help them separate reliable online stores and sites from scams and fraudulent websites.

    If you are interested in the Scamadviser Trust Score API or our Alert Services, please contact us.

    Scamadviser Trust Score API

    The Scamadviser Trust Score API is a fast and easy way for business to check the trustworthiness of a website and integrate it within their risk assessment flow.

    The website's URL is all you need. From this single input Scamadviser will do all the hard work, and provide you with our bespoke Trust Score (from 0% to 100%).

    Our algorithm analyses the online store looking for both positive and negative factors and evaluating its trustworthiness.

    In addition Scamadviser warns you if a Trust Score drops or increases, helping you to manage your risk after having approved the website.  

    The Scamadviser Trust Score API helps several kinds of companies:

    • Advertising platforms: If you are a social media platform, affiliate network or display advertising system, you do not want to show fraudulent or questionable advertisements. 
    • Market places & suppliers: Knowing that an online store is a legitimate and trustworthy business can save you a lot of headaches down the line. 
    • (Payment) service providers: Independent of if you offer payment solutions, email marketing services or other online services, by helping a fraudulent website, you are in trouble with customers performing chargebacks, demanding refunds or suing for damages. 

    Scamadviser gives you control on how you want to evaluate a website depending on which factors are most important for you.

    Scamadviser Alert Service

    With 2 million websites added every month, Scamadviser provides brands, brand protection agencies, law enforcement bureaus, and consumer interest institutions with daily, weekly and ad hoc reports on new websites. 

    A few examples:

    • Which new webshops have been set-up are using my brand name this week with a Trust Score lower than 75?
    • Which new websites are targeted towards Dutch consumers from Country XYZ in the last month.

    Our alert can be customized based on your needs. Feel free to contact us if you have commercial or technical questions about our business to business services.
