Here are some elements that you might find if they are fraud traffic.

- Very small time gap between click and install of the app.
- High download rate from one source or similar sources.
- Irresponsive crowd.
- Create no actionable engagement.

Another common case of mobile ad fraud is install fraud. This happens when fraudsters or hackers simulate downloads of apps to make it appear like real installs by genuine new users. Sometimes, hackers or fraudulent traffic sources can get hold of the install postback URL and replicate installs, which cost marketers big dollars.
