With internet fraud running rampant, we need a way to filter out the criminals and scammers to have a safe browsing experience. Wangrin (www.wangrin.net) is a unique internet global fraud portal, and is now running an IndieGoGo campaign to raise funds! It is a platform on which users can easily report (and share) any type of misbehavior encountered during their internet experience. In this highly connected world, where it is more and more difficult to assert the reliability, the authenticity, or the intentions of any digital identity, the portal offers to its users the possibility to do due diligence on any Phone number, Skype, Facebook, Whatsapp, Email, IP, Msn ,etc…ID/credentials.
Wangrin is a project that was initiated by a team of experienced information technology consultants with specialties in training, technical writing, and technical support, along with ex-law enforcement officers involved in cybercrime issues. KonanSystems is a information technology consulting company that has started its activities in 2007 in Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire) and moved its headquarters in Praia (Cabo Verde) since January 2012. Platform development and implementation has been handled by SmartNet Technlogies, a solution provider based in Nis (Serbia). Hosting is supplied by TimInfinity of Paris (France).

D- Why is Wangrin important?
Cybercrime continues to be a growing global concern. Both the total global direct cost of cybercrime and the average cost per victim of cybercrime are constantly on the rise. As people are now constantly connected, the lines are blurring between their personal and work lives, across multiple devices and storage solutions. Today, nearly half of the urban citizen report using their personal devices (PCs, laptops, smartphones, tablets) for work-related activities. Wangrin is an important initiative since it provides freely to any internet user the possibility to verify the digital fraud record of any credential; including to check if a Skype, Msn, Email, IP adress, or any othercredential has ever been involved in a digital crimes such as:
· Dissemination of viruses

· Dissemination of malware or malicious code
· Cyberstalking
· Fraud and identity theft
· Engagement in information warfare
· Defamation
· Phishing scams
· Spam
