If people can sign up for your product on their own, some of them are abusing it. Whether you're dealing with freeloaders, bots, fraudsters, or scrapers, the patterns are predictable. Here's how Dregs takes care of the most common ones.
Freeloaders sign up, burn through your trial, and sign up again with a different email. Dregs catches repeat signups through device fingerprinting, even across incognito sessions and VPNs.
One person, multiple accounts, usually to game referrals, manipulate votes, evade bans, or stack free resources. Dregs links them automatically through shared devices and behavior.
A banned user comes back under a new email. Dregs links the signup to the person you already removed, so the ban sticks to the person, not the address.
Signup bots create fake accounts at registration, hundreds a day from rotating IPs and inboxes. Dregs identifies the automation through device fingerprints and behavioral analysis that bots can't fake.
Junk accounts with keyboard-mashed names and disposable emails pollute your database and skew your metrics. Dregs scores the quality of every signup at the moment of submission.
Attackers feed victims' email addresses through your signup form to flood their inboxes with confirmation emails. Dregs spots the campaign so you can stop sending the payload.
Scripts trigger verification texts that nobody completes, and your SMS bill picks up the tab. Dregs scores the accounts so you can stop the next send.
Attackers test leaked credentials against your login page, thousands per hour. Dregs detects the velocity, automation fingerprints, and identity cycling that give these attacks away.
An attacker with valid credentials looks exactly like your user, until you check the context. Dregs flags new devices in unusual circumstances followed by credential changes, and escalates automatically.
Fraudsters refer themselves with fake accounts to collect bonuses on both sides. Dregs maps the relationship graph between referrer and referred, exposing the scheme from the first shared device.
One person, a stack of launch credits and signup coupons. Dregs links the reused device and the redemption pattern so the offer still reaches the customers it was meant for.
Dregs automatically flags suspicious devices and malicious users, stopping them from abusing your free trials, misusing your app, and polluting your analytics.
