Fraudsters exploit referral programs by creating fake accounts or referring themselves. Rediim connects identities so you prevent referral abuse in real time.
Referral fraud — also called referral abuse, referral scam or promotion abuse — occurs when users misuse refer‑a‑friend programs by self‑referring with duplicate accounts or inviting people who already have an account.
Examples:
“Invite a friend and both of you get $10 credit”
→ The same user signs up multiple fake accounts to refer themselves.
“Refer a new customer and get 30 % off your next purchase” → Fraudsters invite existing users who already have accounts to claim rewards.
