Platform security features and fraud prevention.
HomeSorted has built-in security: CSP headers, rate limiting (100 req/min per IP), CSRF protection, XSS sanitization, phishing detection, session auto-logout (30 min), and data masking.
Look for: providers with multiple accounts, clients requesting off-platform payment, fake verification documents, unusually high dispute rates, and suspicious login patterns.
The most common fraud is fake or stolen documents. Always cross-check: does the selfie match the ID? Is the bank letter recent? Is the police clearance valid?
Tip: Enable the "face match" step during verification — it catches most identity fraud.
Every platform action is logged. If you suspect fraud, check the activity log for the user to see all their actions, login times, and IP patterns.
