Fraudtrackr Api

[SmackyOh]

Can Blesta add in an option to use FraudTrackr, either directly or as a plugin?

 

It's a simple API to use:  https://www.fraudtrackr.com/developer-api.php

That's a bit like FraudRecord, have you asked them to see if they could do one, otherwise it will depend how many people want it. It also uses SHA-1 which isn't that secure.

FraudTrackr is just a blatant clone of FraudRecord, they didn't even bother to create their own content.

 

FraudTrackr copied the API almost exactly, including the API documentation.

FR api: https://fraudrecord.com/developers/
FT api: https://www.fraudtrackr.com/developer-api.php

The entirety of API system, variables, responses and documentation has been copied from FraudRecord. Including Pseudo-code and "Sample PHP Code For Developers". Direct copies. Most of the text and tables are blatantly copied.

The sample reports are severely inspired as well.
FR: https://www.fraudrecord.com/sample-reports/
FT: https://www.fraudtrackr.com/sample-report.php
"Reported by", "matches", "information" fields and colors are very similar.

Also, "how it works" is heavily inspired, and titles are directly copied.
FR: https://www.fraudrecord.com/how-it-works.php
FT: https://www.fraudtrackr.com/how-it-works.php
They didn't even bother to change the URL!

There are many more "similarities", I'm just putting a historical note here so that they can't claim otherwise in the future.

 

I'm the owner of the original FraudRecord, I believe these are the guys who contacted me a while ago and politely said "we'll give you $10k to acquire FR, if you are not interested we'll create our own." I didn't sell for $10k and apparently I misunderstood what "create our own" means.

 

Please do not consider FT as a legitimate fraud protection service.

I hope you didn't mind me opening the same thread. Most of the users of FraudRecord are on WHT, since FR serves to hosting companies.

 

While I got your attention, can you contact me via PM here regarding a possible module for FraudRecord on Blesta? We have received dozens of requests but I'm not experienced on Blesta at all.

Not a problem at all. I sent you a PM.
