The Knickknack Shack by Darthside LLC review for Blocky: Fraud Prevention

March 22, 2024

I installed Blocky because I kept receiving unwanted solicitations for SEO/digital marketing/website development/Shopify expert services. I recently contacted Shopify support about this very issue, and they were unable to help me. It really, really irritated me that these people were auditing my site and getting glimpses into my site traffic, sales reports, and other data that I consider sensitive and rather personal. I don't know about you, but I don't like people poking around in my business unless I specifically invite them to, and these people were definitely NOT invited. Since I installed Blocky and blocked certain countries and regions, I have not gotten a single solicitation email. Not a single one. I looked at my reports, and Blocky has -- to date -- performed 310 Country Blocks & Redirects, 103 IP Blocks, and 472 Proxy & VPN Blocks. So the app is working, and doing exactly what I wanted it to do. Thank you, Haseeb and the dev team, for coming up with this great solution to my unique problem. I'll definitely be telling Shopify support about this app so they can recommend it to other shop owners like myself, who don't like getting randomly audited by faceless people over the Internet. Thank you for helping to protect my store data and my privacy. Worth every penny.
