## At a glance

- Company: mFilterIt
- What it does: Digital trust and ad-fraud intelligence platform that monitors and takedowns brand impersonation and phishing assets
- Latest: Reported 2.4 lakh festive fraud assets against one bank and 2 lakh-plus takedowns
- Date: 2026-11-03
- Founders: Amit Relan

Digital trust and ad-fraud intelligence firm mFilterIt said a brand-protection engagement for a leading Indian bank uncovered 2.4 lakh fraudulent cases across 10 digital platforms during the festive shopping season, YourStory reported on 3 November 2026, with matching figures in Express Computer the same day. The company put the average at nearly 24,000 scam assets per platform, covering fake websites, phishing pages, impersonation accounts, coupon abuse and deceptive referral schemes aimed at one brand's customers.

mFilterIt said it removed more than 2 lakh of those cases, a takedown success rate above 97%, and that 80 to 85% of identified scam assets were taken down within 24 hours of detection. Express Computer quoted CEO and co-founder Amit Relan saying festive fraud is infrastructure built to scale when shoppers are least on guard, and that complaint-driven responses start only after someone is already harmed, while continuous OSINT monitoring and digital crawling start when a threat appears.

The findings underline how festive UPI and banking campaigns create a parallel market in cloned offers. Customers often blame the brand whose name was misused, so banks and fintechs treat brand protection as part of customer safety rather than a marketing side task. mFilterIt did not name the bank in the public write-ups. The numbers come from the company's engagement report as carried by the outlets above.
