WHAT DO THESE WEBSITES LOOK LIKE?

Depending on the product and intent, fake websites can assume a few different forms. Here are the most common types we regularly identify:

{{$text}
Replica sites

Scammers will create a convincing copy of your website, stealing your brand name, trademarks and copyright to pose as your brand.

{{$text}
Phishing sites

Some fake sites will sell counterfeit goods, but many are simply looking to extract data and steal from unsuspecting consumers, often often offering no real inventory.

{{$text}
Multi-brand

Offering illicit goods, multi-brand websites will infringe multiple brands including your own – posing as independent online shops.

HOW CAN THEY HARM YOUR BRAND?

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

SnapDragon saves me time and money, which is pretty much the holy grail in a fast-growing company. Their reporting is easy to understand and the results real and tangible. SnapDragon allows us to get on with what we are good at and not get distracted by trying to police our IP.

John Hibbard

Founder and CEO

SnapDragon is a great partner for us. They have leveraged our copyright to great success, taking down scores of listings. In addition, they provide investigation and identification of new threats as they analyse the patterns of fake listings and sellers globally.

Simon Newbery

Managing Director, Orchard Toys

SnapDragon have been the find of the year for us. Their work, and passion for it, is priceless. We are extremely lucky to work with them.

Lorna Macaulay

Chief Executive, The Harris Tweed Authority

SnapDragon’s solution is focused, cost-effective and responsive. The continual monitoring process regularly identifies infringing items. By using our registered IP they are able to take action against the links, helping prevent infringing products being sold.

Graeme Menzies

CFO, AFG Media

SnapDragon is first class. It was started by someone who made products, got ripped off and tried to fight back. Now they focus entirely on fighting fakes for other people. They take all the hassle away and have software making it a 1000 times more painless than doing it yourself.

Tom De Pelet

Founder

What I like most about SnapDragon is that they are accessible, the reaction time is fast, and the communication is always personal. We book great results with SnapDragon.
