Fraud intelligence that flags, not bans
Automatic risk and quality scoring from real identity signals — self-referral, velocity, bot traffic, VPN, disposable email and duplicate clusters — plus channel controls. affixo raises alerts for review; it never auto-bans.
Affiliate fraud is quiet: self-referrals, coupon leakage, bot clicks, duplicate accounts farming a signup bonus. affixo watches for all of it automatically and surfaces high-confidence alerts — without ever auto-banning a legitimate partner.
Identity signals → a risk score
Every affiliate accrues an append-only stream of signals (signup, login, visit), each capturing the context that matters for fraud:
- IP, geo, ASN/ISP, and VPN / proxy / Tor detection
- device fingerprint, OS, screen, timezone, language
- normalized email (with disposable-address detection), payout email, phone
Those roll up into an affiliate identity with two scores, 0–100:
- Risk score — self-referral patterns, bot-flag rate, chargebacks, VPN use, disposable email, duplicate-cluster penalty and velocity.
- Quality score — the inverse, minus coupon-leakage penalties.
High-confidence duplicate detection
affixo clusters affiliates that look like the same person gaming the program, matched on normalized email, payout email, device fingerprint and phone:
- High — strong matches (email + fingerprint, or payout email).
- Medium — fingerprint or payout-email alone.
- Low — IP or name only.
It flags the cluster for review — it never bans on its own.
Control the channels, not just the people
Some traffic is against your rules before any fraud math runs. Channel policy lets you allow, hold or block specific channels — brand bidding, coupon/incentive sites, paid search, paid social, email and more — set per workspace with per-campaign overrides.
On the roadmap
ML-based chargeback prediction, deeper affiliate quality scoring, and a shared, advisory-only Network Risk List across programs are coming soon — each clearly marked until it ships.
Common questions
Each affiliate accrues append-only signals (signup, login, visit) capturing IP, geo, ASN/ISP, VPN/proxy/Tor detection, device fingerprint and normalized email. Those roll up into a risk score (0–100) from self-referral patterns, bot-flag rate, chargebacks, VPN use, disposable email, duplicate-cluster penalties and velocity — plus an inverse quality score.
No. Fraud intelligence is advisory — it surfaces high-confidence alerts for you to review and act on. It never auto-bans, so a false positive can't quietly cut off a legitimate partner.
affixo clusters likely-duplicate affiliates by normalized email, payout email, device fingerprint and phone. Clusters are graded high, medium or low confidence — high requires strong matches like email plus fingerprint — so you can focus on the ones that matter.
Yes. Channel policy lets you allow, hold or block specific traffic channels — brand bidding, coupon/incentive, paid search, paid social, email and more — per workspace with per-campaign overrides.
