Find fake websites and lookalike domains before they catch your customers out.
Fraudsters can register web addresses that look like yours and use them for fake invoices, copied websites and misleading emails. Impostor Watch checks public records for close matches, explains the risk in plain English, and keeps watching for new ones.
Takes a few seconds. No sign-up, no access to your systems, nothing to install.
A £12 domain can cost you a customer's trust.
Anyone can register a domain that's one letter away from yours in about five minutes. Most businesses only find out when a customer or supplier has already been caught out. Here's what that usually looks like:
The fake invoice
Your bookkeeper gets an email from [email protected] asking to update bank details for a payment. It looks right. It isn't — and the money's gone before anyone notices the extra hyphen.
The copycat website
A near-perfect copy of your site appears at a slightly different address, quietly collecting your customers' logins or card details. To them it looked exactly like doing business with you.
The reputation hit
People who get scammed by someone wearing your name rarely blame the scammer — they remember your brand. Years of goodwill can be undone by a website you didn't even know existed.
We watch, so you don't have to.
Scan
We search public records — new website registrations, the security certificates sites use, and the records that point a web address to a server — for anything that looks like your name: typos, swapped letters, or added words like “support” or “billing”.
Monitor
We keep watching around the clock. New lookalike domains appear every day — the whole point is that you don't have to go looking for them, or even think about it.
Alert
If something looks risky, you get a short email in plain English: what we found, why it matters, and what (if anything) to do about it. No jargon, and no flood of alerts about things that don't matter.
For the curious: what's under the hood
Start with a look. Stay for the peace of mind.
A quick check shows what already exists. Monitoring keeps watch afterwards, because new lookalike domains can appear at any time.

Built by people who do this for a living.
Impostor Watch is built by Raine Security, a working cybersecurity consultancy. The same monitoring that runs here is the tooling we use in our own client work.
Findings are scored and triaged automatically for accuracy before anything's flagged as risky, and we review the serious cases ourselves. Software finds the candidates; our tuning and judgement decide what's worth your time. You won't drown in false alarms.
Everything is external and passive. We look at the same public records anyone could — we never need access to your website, email or systems.
Why it was flagged — this is the kind of alert we'd send a business like “Acme Ltd”. Someone registered a web address that copies their name, added the word “billing”, and set it up to send email within days — the classic setup for fake invoices. Acme would have heard from us in plain English soon after it appeared — while a fake like this is still being set up, rather than after the damage is done.
Fair questions, straight answers.
How is this different from the alerts I get from my domain provider?
Do you need access to my website or systems?
What if you don't find anything?
What happens when you do find something?
Couldn't I just search for lookalikes myself?
Do I need to be technical to use this?
How do I get help?
Every week you wait, a copycat could be trading on your name.
Check your domain for free in seconds — then let monitoring watch it around the clock, so you never have to think about this again. The one time you'll wish you'd started is the week a fake invoice gets paid.
Prefer we take the first look for you? Tell us your website address and we'll email you what we find. No access to your systems, nothing to install, cancel anytime.
