Ask HN: Where to Report Scam Webshops?
Might have found a bunch of suspiciously similar-looking and very
possibly fake webshops in a scam network, or at least I don't think
this many unrelated brands would end up using the same outlet
provider. Couldn't find any contact info, the shipping info and
privacy policies are bullshit, the prices are suspiciously low, the
wording is strange on every site and no Hungarian would start every
word in uppercase (unless they are braindead). Some sites are just
redirects to others, and quite a lot of them has intentional typo.
For example, www.salonomnhuoutlet.com and www.salomohungary.com
Reported this at
https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_badware/ but it
seems like the sites are not yet flagged as
https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search shows
the sites as safe. Is there any way to get these sites off the net?
The list: https://bgp.tools/prefix/196.245.161.0/24#dns Don't know
what that cprapid.com is, but it's on the Badware Risks filter
list. Btw, at least for me, the top 3 results for "salomon xa pro
3d" are these scammy-looking sites. I've found an article about
this phenomenon too:
