Fraud Blocker reviews

Fraud Blocker has been a fantastic solution for protecting my ad campaigns from click fraud. Setting it up was simple, and within minutes, I could monitor my campaigns for suspicious activity. The real-time monitoring is impressive, as it automatically detects and blocks fraudulent clicks, which has already saved me a significant portion of my ad budget.

One of my favorite features is the clear, intuitive dashboard that gives me a complete overview of potential fraud sources, letting me see where clicks are coming from and quickly identify patterns. The reporting tools are a huge help, making it easy to adjust my campaigns and improve their performance.

Overall, Fraud Blocker has given me peace of mind knowing my ad spend is being used effectively. For anyone running digital ads and looking to reduce wasted spend, this tool is a great investment.

I feel like my expectations were incorrectly set by the verbiage used in their advertisement, website, and within the tool itself.

Often, they mention "preventing" fraud and telling you how much money you've "saved".

However, that's not directly what this tool does, nor is the money saved more than an estimate. It adds in negative IP addresses AFTER a visitor has been identified as being likely fraudulent. This means that you will have to pay for the first click in each case, and the savings are the future clicks that would have occurred from that same IP address.

Additionally, there is the issue that Google imposes a limit on the amount of negative IP's that can be added and they expire after 30 days, so the negative IP's that are added are inherently useful for a limited-time only.

Therefore, again, I believe it is very important to point out that the money saved is an estimate only, and the real figure could be a lot lower. My biggest constructive criticism would be to make it more clear to the user that the "saved" figure is not based on actual numbers, but rather on projections (and I'd love to obtain more insights into how exactly this projection is calculated).

I will continue to use the tool for the time being, as I hope that I am wrong, and that there are some real-world savings and improved Google Ads performance. As of this writing, after 13 days of use, I have not seen any numbers in my Google Ads account that indicate an improvement in performance as a result of using Fraud Blocker, but I will keep an open mind.

Holy cow, talk about at best misleading claims!!

Plastered all over FraudBlocker's website and system is the idea of "preventing" fraud and telling you how much money you've "saved".

That's - by their own admission (I quote from an email 'We are a "reactive" service, not a proactive service') - not remotely what they do. The ONLY thing this tool does is add in negative IP addresses AFTER the fact. Google imposes a limit on the amount of negative IP's that can be added and they expire after 30 days anyway, so this is completely useless.

Additionally, the "total saved"? Completely made up, it has nothing to do with reality.

This it an abjectly horrible example of someone taking advantage of small business owners desperate to survive; as if we didn't have to deal with enough already.

Shame on you, FraudBlocker!!!

Great tool and good support. Can compare with Clickcease.

I like many people need and want a product that saves us money on digital advertising fraud, which is why so many people here chose to purchase this product. To be honest there is not much to set up and so it should be a straightforward process. The instructions on the site are clear, but just because you have clear instructions, does not mean the software works. I have been trying to set up my connection with Google Ads for over a week. I wrote to the company and I organized a 15 minute video meeting, which then got cancelled on me. They told me they preferred I talk to Mike and they gave me a link to book with him the following day. Just before my meeting was to be held, this meeting was also cancelled without explanation.
I have seen on nearly every issue here, the response is that you are the top sales product on Appsumo, but that's because we need a product like this in our businesses. I would suggest on the lack of service you will also be the highest in refunds on Appsumo. As the reviews seemed to be mixed here, I would suggest testing this product. Do not accept that they are saving you money because their dashboard says so. You will find reviews here of people actually checking the software and not getting a result that has been claimed. Fraudblocker has 2 days to fix my situation or I will be like I am sure many others to come, will be refunding my hard-earned dollars.

I recently picked up FraudBlocker from AppSumo, and it’s been a game-changer for my Google Ads. Setup was quick, and right from the start, it began blocking suspicious IPs, saving me money on wasted clicks. The “Fraud Score” feature really stands out, showing ad fraud risk across campaigns, and the real-time tracking has given me solid insight into where my clicks are coming from.

The reports are handy too, with details like blocked IPs, device types, and even accidental clicks—a surprising bonus! FraudBlocker is now essential for keeping my ad budget efficient. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to maximize ad spend.

Honestly not very satisfied, I tried to open a ticket a week ago and still have not received an answer, on the other hand the FraudBlocker reports are completely wrong, they detect threats avoided in Meta (where everything has been turned off for months) and do not detect any clicks from Google (where we spend €500/month).
The guys are very quick to respond here but apparently the same doesn't happen with tickets.

I sincerely hope it is all temporary and that I can update this review soon ;)

FraudBlocker is a game-changer for anyone running digital ad campaigns! As a small business owner, I was tired of seeing my ad budget drained by suspicious clicks and traffic that didn’t convert. After trying FraudBlocker, I immediately noticed a huge difference. It actively blocked fraudulent clicks and ensured that my ads reached high-intent users, significantly improving my ROI.

The setup was simple, and the results were clear within a few days—better leads, more relevant traffic, and overall higher-quality engagement. The dashboard makes it easy to track what’s happening with my campaigns in real-time, so I feel much more in control of my ad spend.

FraudBlocker is worth it for anyone serious about maximizing their ad budget and reducing wasted clicks. It’s become an essential tool for my marketing efforts, and I highly recommend it to any advertiser dealing with click fraud.

Banned IPs were not automatically updated in the Google ad campaign. I contacted support for a fix but received no response. Frustrated, I decided to use another tool instead. I had purchased their deal during the previous promotion.

I had barely started integrating the tool, but nothing worked. The Meta pixel wouldn't connect for some reason, while Google did connect, but I couldn't see any statistics, even though my ads were running and everything was connected. Their support couldn't provide a solution either. To my frustration, I requested a refund.

I was initially skeptical about Fraud Blocker, especially regarding its effectiveness in the context of affiliate marketing. However, I decided to give it a try with Tier 1 and ultimately upgraded to Tier 4 before the discount ended.

After reviewing numerous chats, comments, and messages, I believe that anyone involved in advertising should at least consider trying it out. However, it's crucial to understand how it works before diving in.

In short:

Traffic Blocking: Fraud Blocker does not block traffic to your site.
Invalid Clicks: It specifically targets invalid clicks by analyzing user behavior through its algorithm.
Blocking Mechanism: The tool utilizes a combination of blacklisted IPs and VPN detection, along with intelligent routines to identify fraudulent activity.
Dashboard Savings: The savings displayed in the dashboard are not absolute; they serve as an indicator that you can fine-tune based on your average cost-per-click (CPC).
Click Handling: The first click from a user is not blocked, ensuring that you don’t lose potentially valid clicks. Subsequent clicks may be blocked based on user behavior, but again, no traffic to your site will be blocked—only ads will be restricted for specific IPs and users.
I tested the tool and decided to disable VPN blocking, as many legitimate users utilize VPNs. However, settings can be adjusted for fine-tuning.

I recommend purchasing, testing, and then making an informed decision. When combined with a tool that tracks attribution clicks, Fraud Blocker can be an excellent asset for any serious advertiser.

While there is room for improvement in terms of user experience and options, the tool is functioning well in its current state. My testing has been limited to Google Ads, so I cannot provide insights on its performance with Meta.

Good luck!

1. Support does not respond to emails or tickets. I tried several times and no response.
2. Improvements needed for Google Ads connections, especially for MCC accounts.
3. Not all currencies. Personally, I need PLN and as I wrote in this matter, I did not receive a response :)
4. Reports take a long time to load and very often after logging in they are not there at all (there are zero values).
5. The reports do not contain information useful for optimizing and targeting ads, e.g. information about campaigns. The remaining data is even okay, but to find out something, you have to export the data.

Other than that the app seems to do its job well which is why I give it 4 strong tacos!
