When Keen Footwear became the target of a website spoofing scam, it became an immediate threat to the brand’s reputation and customers. The fake Facebook ads used Keen’s branded content to fool customers and redirect them to rogue websites in order to steal their credit card information. The brand received a growing number of customer complaints after falling victim to the scam, and the problem immediately spiraled out of control.
Keen went from zero reports to 1,400 customer complaints in a single day, only days after the initial scam ad on Facebook was identified. Though they tried to resolve the issue by reporting the fake ads, the web spoofing scam was on a larger scale than they had ever experienced. With no way to identify the source of the rogue websites, they couldn’t keep up with the new fake ads and sites that kept reappearing.
As new ads kept appearing, Keen’s brand reputation and customers were at great risk. The brand needed a scalable solution to identify and take down rogue websites at the source and adapt to the ever-evolving scams targeting their business.
