Fraud and Abuse Protection

RePlenish implements strict fraud and abuse prevention systems to protect merchants, token partners, and the integrity of the reward ecosystem. Because RePlenish issues rewards instantly, maintaining a secure, abuse-resistant environment is essential for sustaining long-term trust and merchant participation.

Our Fraud and Abuse Protection system combines automated detection, merchant-side verification, network-level checks, and policy-based enforcement to prevent improper reward issuance and to ensure rewards align with legitimate user activity.


Purpose of Fraud Protection

The goal of our fraud protection framework is to:

  • Ensure rewards are earned only from valid, verified purchases

  • Prevent users from exploiting returns, cancellations, or coupon abuse

  • Protect token partners from artificial boost farming

  • Maintain accuracy and fairness for all participating merchants

  • Safeguard the long-term sustainability of the RePlenish ecosystem

This framework ensures RePlenish delivers instant rewards without compromising security or allowing reward manipulation.


Purchase Verification

All purchases tracked through RePlenish must pass several validation checks before being recognized as eligible:

a. Merchant Attribution Confirmation

RePlenish confirms that:

  • The purchase was correctly attributed to RePlenish

  • No other affiliate network claimed credit

  • The merchant recognizes the order as valid

b. Order Integrity Checks

ROSE verifies:

  • Order status (confirmed, shipped, etc.)

  • Payment validity

  • No disputes or fraudulent chargebacks

  • No manipulated checkout flows

Only validated purchases proceed to reward settlement.


Return, Cancellation & Adjustment Monitoring

Returns and cancellations are the most common abuse vector for instant reward systems.

RePlenish protects against this by:

  • Monitoring real-time merchant updates

  • Invalidating rewards tied to cancelled or returned orders

  • Applying ledger adjustments to correct reward entitlements

  • Preventing users from benefiting financially from reversed commissions

This ensures users cannot earn on purchases they did not keep.

(See “Returned and Cancelled Orders” for full policy.)


Abuse and Manipulation Detection

RePlenish actively analyzes behavioral patterns—both on-chain and off-chain—to identify suspicious activity. Abuse may include, but is not limited to:

a. Excessive or Strategic Returns

  • Repeated buy–refund cycles

  • Purchasing specifically with the intent to farm instant rewards

  • Returning high-value items after receiving a boost

b. Multi-Account Manipulation

  • Creating multiple accounts to farm sign-up bonuses

  • Using family, friends, or fake identities to multiply rewards

  • Coordinating group reward manipulation

c. Illicit Traffic or Attribution Fraud

  • Using VPNs or proxies to appear in a different region

  • Attempting to bypass network restrictions

  • Interfering with referral or affiliate attribution chains

d. Unauthorized Coupon or Cashback Stacking

  • Using unauthorized coupon sites

  • Combining RePlenish rewards with restricted discount codes

  • Interacting with multiple affiliate systems in one transaction

e. Automated or Bot-Based Activity

  • Scripted browsing

  • Automated cart cycling

  • Coordinated bot-based purchase/return flows

f. Merchant Policy Violations

  • Abuse of store return windows

  • Misuse of promotional or bulk-purchase limitations

  • Activity flagged by the merchant as high-risk or suspicious

Any of the above may trigger review procedures or account restrictions.


Enforcement and Account Actions

If ROSE detects abusive or suspicious behavior, the following actions may be taken:

a. Reward Pausing

Rewards for specific orders may be temporarily paused until verification is complete.

b. Account Review

Accounts showing abnormal activity may enter a manual or automated review process.

c. Boost Eligibility Suspension

Users engaging in abuse may lose access to boosted token rewards temporarily or permanently.

d. Reward Adjustment

Fraud-related merchant reversals result in immediate adjustment of internal reward entitlement balances.

e. Account Restriction or Closure

In cases of repeated or severe abuse, RePlenish reserves the right to suspend or permanently restrict account activity.

These measures ensure RePlenish remains a trusted, sustainable platform for merchants and token partners.


Merchant-Initiated Alerts

Merchants may flag certain orders for risks including:

  • Fraudulent payment

  • High-risk user identity

  • Suspicious purchase pattern

  • Chargeback disputes

  • Unauthorized coupons

  • Policy violations

When merchants initiate a reversal or risk alert, ROSE:

  1. Invalidates the corresponding reward

  2. Applies a balance adjustment

  3. Flags the user account for additional monitoring

This ensures alignment with merchant requirements and protects the affiliate relationship.


No Forced Withdrawals or Debt

RePlenish does not remove tokens from a user’s self-custody wallet. If a reward is invalidated, ROSE adjusts only the user's internal entitlement balance.

  • Users never owe money

  • Users never enter negative on-chain balances

  • Ledger adjustments are recovered through future rewards

This approach balances user trust and merchant protection.


Transparency and User Trust

We communicate fraud decisions openly and clearly:

  • Users are notified when an adjustment occurs

  • Explanations are provided based on merchant data

  • Appeal and dispute channels are available

  • No shadow restrictions or unexplained forfeitures

RePlenish favors transparency over black-box systems.


Summary

RePlenish’s Fraud and Abuse Protection System:

  • Protects merchants from order manipulation

  • Protects token partners from boost farming

  • Protects users from malicious or accidental errors

  • Maintains integrity in a real-time settlement environment

  • Ensures long-term sustainability of the reward ecosystem

It allows RePlenish to offer instant crypto rewards without compromising fairness, security, or merchant alignment.
