Scams
A Smarter Approach to Managing Scam Threats
Scams are rarely one dimensional. Modern scam operations combine multiple tactics, channels, and infrastructure to exploit trust, urgency, and familiarity. What constitutes a scam threat varies significantly by organisation, industry, customer base, and geography.
Rather than treating scams as a fixed category, unphish enables organisations to define and respond to scams based on their unique threat profile.
This approach ensures protection is aligned to how scammers actually target your organisation and customers.
How scam activity differs by organisation
Scammers tailor their methods to the environment they are operating in. A scam profile for a financial institution will differ from that of a retailer, government agency, education provider, or technology platform. Common scam types include:
Investment and Crypto Scams
Fraudsters promote fake investment opportunities or cryptocurrency schemes designed to lure victims with promises of high returns and quick profits.
Romance Scams
Attackers build fake online relationships to gain trust and manipulate victims into sending money, financial information, or account access.
Scam Service Marketplaces
Cybercriminals advertise tools, services, and infrastructure that support scam operations, including phishing kits, messaging campaigns, and impersonation resources.
How unphish detects and disrupts scams
Based on your scam threat profile, unphish continuously monitors for relevant scam activity across domains, websites, social media, app stores, messaging platforms, and underground environments.

Why Customers Choose unphish
| unphish | Fragmented / Reactive Approach | |
| Threat Visibility | Continuous monitoring across domains, hosting, social platforms, and attacker infrastructure. | Limited visibility based on complaints or isolated alerts. |

| Infrastructure Insight | Deep analysis reveals campaign links, infrastructure reuse, and attacker patterns. | Little or no visibility into shared infrastructure or repeat activity. |

Why a threat profile driven approach matters
