Stop Fraudulent Ads Before the First Click
Fraudulent ads intercept customers before they ever reach your website, launching scam campaigns that span fake sites, social accounts, and credential theft. Bolster AI detects, investigates, and removes fraudulent ads before the attack gains momentum.
See the Full Funnel, Not Just the Ad
A customer searches for your brand. They click what looks like your ad. They land on a fake storefront, enter their payment details, and start receiving follow-up emails and texts. By the time anyone notices, you’ve lost a customer — and inherited a fraud incident.
Find the Fake Ads Targeting Your Customers
Surface fraudulent ads impersonating your brand across paid search, sponsored placements, and social promotion — including branded keyword abuse internal teams rarely watch.
Most teams fight ad fraud with manual searches and one-off platform reports. Bolster AI replaces that with continuous detection, automated removal, and monitoring for reappearance.
Look Beyond the Ad
The ad is not the attack — it's the entry point. Bolster AI investigates the redirect chain, landing page, and supporting infrastructure, so you see the entire attack path.
Take Ads Down With Evidence
Manual takedowns mean screenshots, forms, and follow-ups. Bolster AI automates it — evidence packaged, filings submitted through trust & safety channels. Fewer rejections, faster removals, a legal trail.
Keep Them Down
Attackers beat manual takedowns by recreating ads under new advertiser accounts. Bolster AI recognizes the pattern and removes them again; enforcement compounds instead of starting over.
Performance Metrics You Can Count On
With an industry-leading fraud protection solution, you can trust Bolster AI to defend against fraudulent ads and show leadership where attacker activity is concentrated.

Ensure Your Ad Protection Strategy Goes Beyond Detection
Ad impersonation doesn’t live in a single channel. Campaigns span scam ads, redirects, fake websites, and social impersonation — and your defense needs to do the same.
AI-Native Detection
Ad impersonation, fraudulent sponsored listings, keyword abuse, and destination analysis; all analyzed continuously. Catches what manual searches and generic monitoring miss.
Evidence-Backed Takedowns
Fraudulent ads are reported through platform trust & safety channels with the right context and proof, so ads come down faster and with fewer rejections. Bolster AI handles the full lifecycle.
Reappearance Monitoring
Bolster AI tracks fraud campaigns across advertiser accounts. When ads reappear under new identities, they’re flagged and removed, so enforcement doesn’t stop at the first takedown.
Coverage that Adapts to Your Risk
Ad fraud isn’t the same for every brand. Bolster AI focuses on the channels where your customers search for you and adapts as attacker behavior changes over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do fake ads keep coming back after they're reported?
Because the ad is part of a larger operation. Removing one ad doesn’t touch the advertiser accounts, domains, and infrastructure behind it. Bolster AI monitors for reappearance and investigates the supporting infrastructure, so removal breaks the funnel.
How do scammers create ads impersonating a brand?
Attackers use the same tools legitimate businesses use — paid search, sponsored placements, social promotion, and conversion funnels — buying ads on your branded terms to acquire your customers before you do.
Is it illegal for someone to use my brand name in their ads?
Impersonating ads typically violate trademark rights and platform advertising policies. That’s the basis for removal: Bolster AI reports fraudulent ads through platform trust & safety channels with the evidence needed to prove abuse.
What happens when a customer clicks a fraudulent ad?
The click starts the scam funnel: fake storefronts, phishing pages, credential theft, payment fraud, and follow-up emails, texts, or calls. The scam website isn’t the beginning of the attack — the ad is.
How is this different from Google Ads monitoring or brand bidding tools?
Brand bidding tools monitor competitors and affiliates for compliance. Fraudulent ads are a security problem — Bolster AI investigates the redirect, destination, and scam infrastructure behind the ad, and removes the campaign instead of just flagging it.
How does Bolster AI find and remove fraudulent ads?
Continuous detection across paid search, sponsored placements, and social promotion — including keyword abuse, redirect analysis, and landing page investigation — followed by evidence-backed takedowns and ongoing monitoring for reappearance.
How does Bolster AI measure ROI for fraudulent ads?
Bolster AI reports on fraudulent ads detected and removed, time to removal, customer exposure prevented, and ads linked to fake storefronts, credential theft, and broader scam infrastructure. Those numbers roll up into quarterly business reviews.
