Check if a business is fraud

To check if a business is a scam programmatically, call is-real-biz on the business domain. The service correlates WHOIS opacity, SSL anomalies (free issuers on commerce sites, very recent certs), missing or stock contact pages, absent social presence, and homepage content patterns associated with cloned storefronts. The response includes a fraud-leaning verdict and explainable signals so a human reviewer or downstream agent can act on the highest-risk cases.

Step-by-step

1. Run the check. GET /check?domain=suspicious-shop.example
2. Treat low scores carefully. verdict in {fake, likely_fake} → block / escalate. uncertain → request more signals (chargeback history, payment-processor flags) before approving.
3. Batch screen leads. Use /check_batch to screen all merchant applications nightly; the API caches per-domain results at the edge.
