How ChainPatrol handles it

How ChainPatrol handles it

A takedown is a filing plus follow-up. Most delay comes from incomplete reports and from nobody chasing the ticket after it is filed.

A takedown is a filing plus follow-up. Most delay comes from incomplete reports and from nobody chasing the ticket after it is filed.

Find the fakes

We find fake support accounts across X, Telegram, Discord, YouTube and Meta, in the languages your customers use.

Block the link first

Any phishing or drainer site the fake links to is blocked in 20+ accounts in about 5–10 minutes and in browsers in about 1–3 hours, on confirmed sites, while the account takedown runs.

File and follow up

We file the report with each platform, with the evidence it asks for, follow up until the account is suspended, and re-file when a platform rejects. Every case shows up in your monthly report.

Fake support follows your customers. A scammer watches for someone asking for help, replies as your support team, and moves the conversation to a DM or a link.

What you still do

What you still do

Sign the authorization

Sign a letter of authorization before we file, and give us your official handles and assets.

Confirm edge cases

Confirm fan accounts and staff accounts when we flag them, because those wait for a person.

Choose your approval step

Keep an approval step on if you were burned by false positives before; most teams turn it off.

How long it takes

Blocking is minutes to hours. Takedown time depends on the platform. We say this on day one, and the monthly report shows every case that is still live and why.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions
