Seven layers between your budget and promotional fraud
Promotional fraud rarely looks dramatic. It arrives in small amounts, looks like ordinary participation, and only shows up when the payout total stops matching the sell-out data. FIBRE Shield™ screens every entry across seven independent layers before a single cent leaves the budget.
Screen
Every receipt-based submission runs through all seven layers: IP checks, behavioural analysis, layout analysis, document analysis, detection of computer-based editing, textual analysis and cross-entry fraud detection.
Score
Each entry gets a trust score. Clear cases are decided in minutes, uncertain ones are flagged rather than rejected.
Decide
Flagged entries go to a trained reviewer before payout, so a valid customer is never turned away because a model was unsure.
Layers that see different things
No single check catches everything: duplicate images are invisible to document analysis, edited totals are invisible to behavioural analysis. The layers are independent by design.
Built for organised abuse
Rings run dozens of accounts with rotating addresses and a shared payout channel. Cross-entry correlation catches the pattern that individual entries hide.
Rejection is not the goal
A system tuned to reject aggressively looks efficient in a report and quietly destroys the participation you paid for. Edge cases belong in human review.
Evidence for the brand
Rejection reasons, duplicate findings and flagged patterns are documented and reportable, so a decision can be explained afterwards.
Verification beyond the receipt
A receipt is not the only thing a promotion pays for. A review is rewarded once FIBRE has checked that the post is genuinely live, a referral once the friend has actually registered, a purchase streak once receipts or pack codes prove it. The same principle throughout: nothing in the reward chain rests on what a participant says they did.
What exactly does FIBRE Shield check?
Seven independent layers: IP address checks, behavioural analysis, layout analysis against genuine retailer formats, document analysis including capture metadata, detection of computer-based editing, textual analysis of the receipt content, and online fraud detection across entries, including image fingerprints.
Does Shield reject uncertain submissions?
No. Uncertain entries are flagged by the trust score and decided by a person before payout. No submission is rejected because the system was unsure.
Can Shield be used with our own front end?
Yes. Screening runs in the FIBRE Engine, which is available through API access, so it can sit behind your own campaign pages.
Does Shield only screen receipts?
No. The same standard applies to everything else a campaign rewards. A review counts once it is verified as published, a referral once the invited friend has registered, a repeat-purchase streak once the receipts or pack codes behind it check out. Self-reported participation is never the basis for a payout.
