ECOMMERCE BRAND PROTECTION & SURVEILLANCE SOLUTIONS
Our services include automated AI-driven online monitoring for third-party marketplaces, leveraging the largest eCommerce database of existing third-party sellers.
​
We offer the most advanced test purchase solutions, supported by a team of private investigators with over 20 years of experience in eCommerce.
WHAT SETS US APART
Most online companies offering counterfeit monitoring and brand protection struggle to address fraud at its source. Shutting down a single marketplace seller often results in several more emerging with similar counterfeit products. Fraudulent sellers on marketplaces can operate an unlimited number of accounts, and disabling one storefront is merely a temporary setback. The most profitable and sophisticated fraudsters maintain 10-20 additional storefronts, making it an ongoing challenge for brand protection companies and law firms.
At BranPi, we provide guaranteed solutions that surpass those offered by traditional brand protection services. With over 20 years of eCommerce expertise, we are uniquely positioned with an extensive database of sellers and suppliers to simultaneously shut down entire groups of fraudulent storefronts. Additionally, our established connections with major retail manufacturers in China allow us to trace counterfeit production and shut it down at the source. By halting production, we force fraudsters to shift focus to less-monitored products.
The most sophisticated counterfeiters, responsible for over 90% of the counterfeit goods sold online, require a more advanced solution. BranPi has developed an innovative approach with over 300 eCommerce test purchase accounts disguised as everyday shoppers. Each account features unique names and residential shipping addresses, deceiving fraudsters into believing they are selling to unsuspecting consumers.
The most intelligent counterfeit sellers, who generate the majority of profits, have learned to recognize brand protection efforts and will often send authentic products to pass initial security checks. However, our solution uses rotating names and residential addresses, making it difficult for fraudsters to spot test purchases. This ensures that counterfeit goods are often identified and received during the first test purchase, disrupting fraudsters before they can adapt.
OUR SERVICES AND SOLUTIONS
We offer 24/7 AI-powered automated online monitoring across all eCommerce marketplaces and standalone websites. Our software continuously scans the web, creating both low and high-risk profiles for every existing and new seller offering your products.
For sellers identified as high-risk, we employ human-led investigative research and profiling. If a new seller begins offering multiple products from your brand, we ensure a detailed profile is created for them.
Our innovative test purchase methods are designed to combat even the most sophisticated counterfeiters in 2025. By leveraging our extensive seller databases, we can identify and group the same counterfeit seller networks, allowing us to shut them down simultaneously through batch actions. We also conduct sting operations to permanently dismantle the most advanced networks of counterfeit sellers.
Additionally, we employ industrial CT scanning technology to perform in-depth X-ray inspections of product components, identifying even the most expertly replicated counterfeits. To further protect your brand, we run social media campaigns focused on educating consumers about how to safely purchase your products from authorized, legitimate vendors online.
THE MOST SOPHISTICATED COUNTERFEIT SELLERS PERSIST IN REPLICATING YOUR PRODUCTS
Every year, counterfeit sellers adapt to eCommerce marketplace security updates, becoming increasingly adept at evading detection while continuing to deceive brands. As these fraudsters evolve, it becomes progressively more difficult to identify counterfeit products, making it essential to stay ahead of their tactics in order to prevent the sale of inauthentic items online.
With over 20 years of experience in eCommerce and SEO services, we remain well-positioned to gather critical insights into the evolving landscape of online fraud. Our extensive background in product expansion, advertising, and marketing enables us to consistently observe and analyze how counterfeiters adapt their strategies to evade detection.
One of the latest techniques we've identified involves counterfeit sellers sourcing product packaging from overseas while duplicating the actual product within the U.S. This strategy helps them bypass customs inspections. A related method involves manufacturing product components abroad, shipping them to the U.S. in separate shipments, and then assembling the final product locally to avoid detection.
The most skilled counterfeiters can replicate products with remarkable precision, often achieving a nearly identical result with no apparent flaws. In these cases, we utilize advanced X-ray CT scanning technology to inspect the internal components of the products. Counterfeit goods typically exhibit cheaper, inferior internal parts, allowing us to identify and shut down even the most sophisticated counterfeit sellers who produce near-perfect replicas.
HOW COUNTERFEIT SELLERS GAIN APPROVAL TO SELL YOUR PRODUCTS ONLINE
Counterfeit sellers often exploit fake invoices to gain approval to sell your products on major eCommerce marketplaces. By deceiving third-party marketplace approval services, these fraudsters can become authorized distributors of your brand. The most extensive counterfeit networks have internal connections with online marketplaces, allowing them to obtain quick approval and authorization to sell branded products—even when the brand is registered and protected.
While other brand protection companies may issue cease and desist letters or file complaints against third-party sellers, these counterfeiters frequently counteract with fake invoices, internal bribes, social manipulation, or leveraging marketplace connections to secure reinstatement. Once reinstated, it becomes more difficult to shut down the seller, as they are labeled as "previously verified" under the marketplace’s account annotation, allowing them to continue selling with minimal interference.
With over 20 years of eCommerce experience, BranPi has developed its own unique network of internal connections that allows us to personally review invoices and brand approvals. We can request invoices and previously used approval data, then scan them through our advanced AI image detection software. This technology analyzes hundreds of invoices to detect digital authenticity by assessing specific image metrics. If any invoice is found to have been altered, we can take swift action to permanently shut down illegitimate sellers.
Counterfeiters also frequently use real invoices that have been modified with fake buyer and seller information. Thanks to our comprehensive database and supplier network, we can further validate flagged invoices to identify high-risk sellers.
The key to stopping the most sophisticated counterfeiters is making it increasingly difficult for them to continue selling your products. Once fraudsters realize that a sophisticated brand protection company like BranPi is monitoring their activities, they will abandon your brand, as it becomes too costly and unprofitable for them to continue.
SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING STRATEGIES
We are the first brand protection company to leverage TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter) to create viral campaigns focused on raising awareness about the dangers of purchasing counterfeit products. Through engaging and educational videos, we highlight how consumers can avoid buying fake items and identify legitimate sources for authentic products.
Our viral content is designed to reach millions of viewers, helping the public better differentiate between high-risk sellers and trusted vendors online. Counterfeit sellers often succeed by offering cheaper products and preying on consumers looking to save money. By increasing market awareness through viral social media videos, we aim to reduce the volume of counterfeit goods being purchased online.
This initiative is particularly crucial for brand products that have potentially harmful counterfeit versions, such as pet food, supplements, and beauty products. With greater education and awareness, we believe we can significantly diminish the impact of counterfeit sales and protect consumers from the risks associated with fake products.
OUR MISSION AND VISION
With 20 years of experience as native eCommerce sellers, our expertise primarily lies in eCommerce and SEO marketing. Over time, as we witnessed the relentless growth of inauthentic sellers online, we made the decision to shift from selling retail products to partnering with brands to protect consumers from purchasing counterfeit goods.
In the past decade, many of our competitors turned out to be counterfeit sellers themselves. As these fraudulent operations flourished, we began closely monitoring how counterfeit sellers operated. Despite repeatedly reporting them, they kept reappearing, constantly evolving and becoming more sophisticated. Over the years, we realized that counterfeit sellers adapt to security measures and continue to find ways around detection, making traditional solutions ineffective.
While most eCommerce marketplaces utilize automated software and security protocols that update frequently to combat counterfeit activities, these measures are often insufficient. Counterfeiters continue to innovate and evade detection.
Our passion now lies in making online marketplaces safer by eliminating counterfeit and harmful products. Our mission is to protect and monitor every brand, ensuring authenticity across all platforms. With our deep knowledge of eCommerce and SEO, combined with our unique test purchase methods, we are now able to neutralize even the most sophisticated counterfeiters, ensuring they no longer pose a threat to brands or consumers.
