While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more
Company details
Written by the company
Backgrounder helps consumers, families, and businesses verify suspicious online interactions before they become financial losses. Our platform combines AI-driven analysis, publicly available data not available on the open internet, and experienced human security researchers to help people quickly assess whether a message, person, website, business, phone number, crypto wallet, social media profile, or online opportunity may be fraudulent. We also help with remediation. Scammers are increasingly sophisticated, using social engineering, fake identities, phishing campaigns, romance scams, investment fraud, impersonation attacks, business email compromise, and AI-generated content to manipulate victims. Backgrounder was built to give everyday people and organizations access to the same investigative methodologies traditionally reserved for cybersecurity and intelligence professionals. Users can upload screenshots, emails, text messages, URLs, names, identities, business names, or other suspicious content and receive rapid analysis designed to surface red flags, contextual intelligence, and potential scam indicators. For higher-risk situations, users can escalate cases to human-led OSINT investigations conducted by trained security researchers. Our mission is simple: help people “just be sure” before sending money, sharing sensitive information, or engaging with potentially malicious actors online. By combining automation with human expertise, Backgrounder empowers users to make safer decisions, reduce scam and fraud exposure, and stay ahead of evolving scam tactics in an increasingly complex digital world.
