Intermediary ad networks have become a partner in crime by letting malicious and fake ads run on their platforms. Our system scrapes, classifies, and packages evidence for takedown.

01

Keyword-Based Ad Scraping

Users input target keywords. The system scrapes major ad networks (Google Ads, Meta Ads Library, etc.) to discover ads matching those keywords — including short-lived campaigns that vanish quickly.

  • Keyword-driven ad network scraping
  • Innovative scraping for short-lived ads
  • Multi-platform ad network support
  • Unique Library ID assignment per ad
02
Completed

Safety Scoring & Classification

Each scraped ad is run through a classification engine and assigned a safety score. Ads are categorized by risk level and linked to known scam patterns.

  • Automated safety score per ad
  • Risk-level categorisation (low/med/high)
  • Cross-referencing with known scam apps
  • Human review for borderline cases
03
