IPQualityScore Fraud Prevention

Overview:

An integration with IPQualityScore (IPQS), an industry-standard fraud prevention system heavily utilized across the dating industry. This plugin acts as your first line of defense, automatically filtering out scammers, bots, and fake registrations before they enter the application, ensuring a safe environment for real users and maintaining the integrity of your database.

Key Features:

• VPN, Proxy & Tor Detection (Location Spoofing Prevention): Instantly identifies malicious actors attempting to hide their true geographic location. This is a critical feature for dating apps to block international “romance scammers” who mask their connections to appear as local users.

• Real-Time Fraud Scoring: Analyzes every IP address and device fingerprint during registration or login. By cross-referencing against a global threat network, the system automatically blocks known fraudsters and automated botnets on the spot.

• Deep Email & Phone Verification: Prevents sign-ups that use disposable email addresses, compromised accounts, and virtual VOIP phone numbers. This not only stops spammers but also radically improves the deliverability rates of your marketing and transactional emails.

• Reputation & Retention Protection: By keeping the app ecosystem free of fake profiles and spam, you significantly reduce user complaints. A clean, secure dating environment builds trust, directly increasing user engagement and Lifetime Value (LTV).
