Hey everyone,
I’m Michael, one of the creators of NotCommon. You know that uneasy feeling when you’re not sure if a website or social media profile is legit or just a scammer in disguise? We’ve been there too. It really hit home when a friend got duped by an impersonation scam, and we thought, “There’s got to be a better way to navigate this!”
So, we built NotCommon. Our goal is to make the internet a bit safer and give everyone some peace of mind while browsing.
We’d absolutely love for you to give it a try and share your thoughts. Your feedback means a lot and will help us make NotCommon even better.
Thanks for checking it out!
@gchiaren@michaelrpierce@hamza_afzal_butt Congratulations on the launch of NotCommon! This browser extension is a brilliant solution for enhancing online safety and preventing impersonation scams.

@gchiaren@michaelrpierce@annaho2000 Appreciate it, AnnaHo! We'd be grateful if you could take a look and let us know any areas where we can improve further.
@owenfar Thanks so much!
Regarding our process, there’s currently some manual work involved in the website verification piece. You can see our current process here: https://notcommon.com/how_notcom...
We’re developing solutions to automate this process using registrar information and providing options for people to self-verify. For now, human verification is still part of the equation.
We’ve started with common impersonation targets like banks, charities, shipping companies, etc., and we’ll continue to expand as we grow.
We want to introduce more alerts on known spam, but the problem is with AI it is so easy to make convincing impersonating fake sites and social media profiles, it was easier to role out a list of what we verify for the MVP. Having said that, more to come! ;)

@gchiaren@michaelrpierce@hamza_afzal_butt This looks fantastic! The all-in-one verification feature is like having a personal bodyguard for our social media accounts. Definitely a much-needed tool in today’s digital landscape. I am sure users are going to like it.
Consider adding a feature that alerts users when they follow new accounts to ensure they're verified right from the start.
Best of luck with NotCommon! 🚀

This is much needed given that impersonation is so common these days. Even parody accounts can buy verification tick. Thanks for sharing. :)
Hey Hamza,
I'm wondering, how does NotCommon handle websites or profiles that aren't widely known but are still legitimate? Does it have any mechanisms to avoid false positives or negatives?
Congrats on the launch!

@kyrylosilin Appreciate the support on our launch, Kyrylosilin!
NotCommon uses user reports and validated databases to guarantee accuracy, especially for less well-known yet authentic websites or profiles. We’re constantly updating our systems to minimize false positives or negatives, so you can browse with confidence.
That looks super useful! Can NotCommon also identify AI-powered profiles?
One more question : would it be possible to paste any profile URL into the web portal in the future?
It’s getting harder to identify real profiles these days, so I think NotCommon could be a really valuable tool!
Congrats on the launch, and wishing you all the best!
@morgane_prr Great questions and ideas!
We don’t specifically aim to identify whether a profile is AI-powered. Instead, we analyze factors like how profiles and sites are interconnected, account age, username similarity, avatar similarity, and more. As NotCommon evolves, we’ll be adding additional signals, so keep the suggestions coming!
While we don’t have a URL evaluator yet, that’s a fantastic idea and something we plan to develop.
Thanks so much for trying it out and for your feedback!

@michaelrpierce Thank you for taking the time to reply!
And congratulations on securing the first place :)
Congrats on the launch, @michaelrpierce !!! NotCommon looks like a much-needed tool to help people feel safer online by verifying accounts and websites. Excited to see how it helps prevent scams and impersonations!
@ititov_agency Thanks! Well the product itself is a browser extension, so as you are browsing around to different websites and profiles, you'll see a little green dot saying that the thing you are on is Legit/Real.
If you are asking about the website, yeah it's set up a little bit like a search engine, just because we want people to be able to search and quickly see the "online footprint" of someone like https://notcommon.com/dwayne-joh...
@ititov_agency Thanks!
Right now, our primary focus is on highlighting authenticity to help people avoid impersonation scams.
That said, as we gather more data, there’s also a fascinating opportunity for discovery down the line.

@jabari_zuri Thanks! We aim to bring peace of mind to everyone, including non-tech-savvy individuals like the elderly who are often targeted by phishing scams, so we wanted something simple and easy to look for.
