# Review At Risk Actions

Actions with the most critical risk signals are automatically rejected as part of Event Risk detection. If you think any of these actions are legitimate and should be payable, they must be explicitly approved.

The following risk signal is automatically rejected:

* **Reason code**: Conversion Spoofing
* **Risk level**: Critical/Suspect
* **Description**: A spoofed conversion is one that never happened. Client-side integrations like JavaScript can be vulnerable to bad actors creating fake conversion events to receive rewards, either directly via a partner account or more commonly via the reward scheme of a loyalty/rewards-type partner.
* **Solution**: The best way to confirm if an action is valid is to cross-reference the order ID against your own order logs. Spoofed conversions will not exist in your backend system. To detect this, impact.com allows you to apply validation rules for expected order ID and conversion page URL patterns.

#### Review your conversion spoofing rules

Conversion spoofing detection relies on applying validation rules for expected order ID and conversion page URL patterns for each of your event types. Refer to the [conversion spoofing rules report](https://help.impact.com/brand/performance-program/protect-and-monitor-your-performance-program/event-risk/view-validation-patterns-for-conversion-events) to know what rules we configured for your program. [Contact support](http://mailto:tech-support@impact.com/?subject=Conversion%20Spoofing%20Validation%20Rules%20Request) to update these rules where necessary.

#### Find and review suspect actions

The following steps will guide you to find and review any actions rejected based on validation rules:
