AND NEW YORK is a demo brand on a domain RIHTAN owns. Figures are illustrative.
Someone is selling
under your name.
Domain names shown are a demo brand on a domain RIHTAN owns. The figures beside them come from a real first scan, with the brand withheld.
For direct-to-consumer brands whose products travel faster than their official storefronts. RIHTAN scans the lookalike domains trading on your name every week, along with the storefronts running on them, grades every match against what the page actually shows, captures the record, and alerts you when something new appears. Marketplace and social storefront monitoring are next, not included yet.

Brand protection,
without the padding.
RIHTAN Monitor is monitoring software for direct-to-consumer brands. It scans lookalike domains and clone storefronts for copies of your brand, grades every potential match against the captured listing, and puts the record in your hands. What happens next is your call.

A real first sweep, redacted.See the report it produced.
Wide, and on a schedule
Lookalike domains and clone storefronts, swept for your name and your product names, on the day you subscribe and every week after. Marketplace and social surfaces are added one at a time, each with its real status published.
Against the page, not the name
A match is scored on what the capture shows: your marks, your product names, your image files. Name-only lookalikes are flagged as doubtful and kept out of the count.
Recorded, then handed over
Every match comes with the capture, the hosting and registrar details associated with it, and a link to that party's own reporting portal. You review, you decide, you export. RIHTAN sends nothing on your behalf.
Copies outlive
your patience.
A clone store does not announce itself. It sits on a domain one letter away from yours, runs your photography and your copyright line, and sells until a customer complains. Every week it stays up is your traffic and your reputation, spent by someone else.
Ten storefronts selling one apparel brand's catalog. Five printed “© 2026 <brand>. All rights reserved.” in the footer.
A careful manual search had found four sites. The sweep found ten.
Send your brand name and official domains. The automated scan runs one pass and emails a generated summary: matches per surface and a few redacted examples, at no cost and with no card to enter. Full captures, exports and weekly monitoring come with the subscription.
Every surface
a copy can live on.
Ranked by where we actually find things, not by what makes the longest list. Only the domain surface is scanned today; every other card says where it stands, and none of them is billed before it ships.
Four steps.
Your decision at the end of them.
Detection runs on a schedule and grading runs against the capture. What to do with a match is the part no scanner should decide for you, so it doesn't.
Sweep the surfaces
Lookalike domains and clone sites, scanned for your brand name and your product names. Marketplace and social surfaces are being added one at a time, and each one's real status is published on its page.
Graded against the capture
Every candidate is scored against what the page actually shows: your marks, your product names, your image files, a copyright line in your name. Parked domains are labeled parked. Anything that matched on name but looks like an unrelated business is flagged as doubtful and never counted as a copy.
Captured and kept
Each match is stored with a full-page capture, the live URL, a timestamp and the hosting and registrar details associated with the captured page, plus a link to the reporting portal that party publishes. Export it any time.
Your results page, and your inbox
Matches live on a results page you open with an email link, no password. New ones arrive by email as they surface; quiet weeks get a note too, so silence never reads as a scanner that stopped.
A match is not
a verdict.
Most tools count matches, because matches are easy to count. Before anything is counted for you, it has to clear three gates.
Does the page carry your marks?
Your name, your product names, your image files, a copyright line in your name. A name-only resemblance is not enough; it is flagged as doubtful, not counted.
Is the record complete?
Timestamped full-page capture, the live URL, and the hosting and registrar details associated with the captured page. If a page could not be reached, the record says so instead of guessing.
Is the decision yours?
Always. RIHTAN grades and records; it does not decide what is unlawful and sends nothing on your behalf. Doubtful matches wait on a watchlist until they stop being a maybe.
A removal date. The platform's queue isn't ours to control, and any vendor quoting you one is quoting a number they can't hold. Our own target instead: new matches on your results page within 24 hours of a scan, with the capture attached.
A similar silhouette, a competitor in your category, or a business that happens to share your word in another language. We've caught all three in real scans, and let all three go.
Parked domains, dead links and pages we couldn't reach. “We didn't see it” is not the same as “it isn't there,” and a scan that hides its gaps isn't a scan.
What a first pass turns up.
A single apparel brand, scanned once. Name withheld; the point is the shape of the problem.
Ten storefronts. Seven
calling themselves “official.”
Sixty-one live domains behind the brand's name. Sixteen were parked or dead and we said so. Ten were running storefronts with the brand's logo, product photography and real product names.
- The tellOn a clone of another brand in the same sweep, a fleece sweater was listed at $17,700: a scraper multiplied the price by a hundred and nobody proofread it.
- The claimFive carried “© 2026 <brand>. All rights reserved.” in the footer, on a site the brand has never owned.
- The doubtful onesA flooring company in another country and a genealogical society, both sharing the brand's word. Both scored above the name threshold; both were flagged as “different line of business” and kept out of the count. A tool that only counts would have called them copies.
What we're learning,
written down.
Found a store you
don't trust?
FakeShopScan is a free tool we run for shoppers. Paste any store's address and it reads the domain's age, the brand name the page claims, and how the two fit together, then returns a verdict in seconds. The same signals our monitoring weighs, pointed at one site at a time.
Free, no sign-up, no card. Built and run by RIHTAN.
High risk. Registered 19 days ago, wraps a known brand's name in “official ██████ shop,” and claims a brand the domain doesn't own.
A storefront that has held its domain for years, names itself consistently and posts a working contact route comes back clean, and the page says so plainly: nothing alarming found.

Send your brand name and your official domains. The automated scan runs one pass over the covered surfaces and emails a generated summary: the confirmed, the doubtful, and no matches detected on the surfaces reached, labeled as such.
