We watch for fakes, so your community does not have to

FakeWatch is a monitoring service for crypto projects. It finds fake websites, clone tokens, impersonating accounts on Telegram, X, Discord and Bluesky, fake apps, code packages and videos that use your name, and prepares the reports to get them removed, or files them for you.

Who is behind it

An independent team, signed as the FakeWatch team.

FakeWatch is a new service. We have no customer logos to show yet, so we show our work instead: where our data comes from, how a finding is scored, what the tool cannot do, and what a report looks like.

We started it because fake claim sites, clone tokens and "support" accounts hit small and mid-size projects as hard as large ones, and enterprise brand protection is priced for large ones only.

How it works

Three steps, and every finding comes with the reasons behind its score.

  1. You list what is official

    Your name, ticker, website, Telegram, X, Discord and token contracts. Everything on that list is trusted and never flagged.

  2. We look for copies in 9 places

    New certificates and look-alike domains, public phishing lists, and every place below where a fake can use your name.

    • Websites and free hosts
    • DEX tokens
    • Telegram
    • X
    • Discord
    • Apps and extensions
    • Code packages
    • YouTube
    • Bluesky

    See every source and how often it is checked

  3. You decide and report

    Each finding gets a 0 to 100 risk score, a screenshot where it applies, and the abuse contacts. You review it and send the prepared report from your own email, or let us file it: our takedown service handles fake websites, and on Managed we report every kind of fake for you.

What FakeWatch does, and what it cannot do

A monitoring tool that promises everything is lying. Here is where our work ends and yours or the platform's begins.

What we do

  • Find copies of your projectOn a schedule set by your plan, across public sources only.
  • Explain every scoreEach finding lists the signals behind its risk score, so you can judge it yourself.
  • Prepare the evidenceScreenshot, WHOIS data, archive copy, the contacts the scammer left on the page, and the right abuse contacts, ready to send.
  • Check your email domainEvery day we check if scammers can send email in your name (DMARC and SPF). Anyone can run the free DMARC check.
  • Keep your official list safeAccounts and contracts you mark as official are never flagged.

What FakeWatch cannot do

  • Remove every fakeOur takedown service reports fake websites for you. On Managed we also report accounts, tokens, apps, code packages and videos; on other plans you send the report we prepare. Either way the registrar, host or platform decides. Some act within hours, some never answer.
  • Be instant everywhereNew certificates are seen within minutes on paid plans. Public phishing lists are slower: the public ScamSniffer list, for example, comes with a 7-day delay. Free checks run less often.
  • Always be rightA score is an estimate, not a verdict. Look-alike names are not always fakes. Mark a finding as "Not a fake" and it stops counting.
  • See private dataWe cannot read private messages, private groups, or the DMs a scammer sends your users.
  • Promise a takedownWe cannot promise that a fake will be taken down or that none was missed.

Sample report

This is the report format your team gets, built on our own brand. The findings are made up to show the layout.

Illustrative data. The sites, accounts and app below are invented. Their domains use the reserved .example ending, so they cannot exist. This is not a list of real incidents.
