How do I report a phishing or scam website and get it taken down?

Submit the URL at https://fraudpol.com/report. Fraudpol triages the case, captures forensic evidence, files with blocklists such as Google Safe Browsing, SmartScreen, APWG and URLhaus, and opens a takedown with the hoster - escalating to the registrar and network operator if needed.

Is reporting a malicious website to Fraudpol free?

Yes. Reporting phishing, scam and malware websites is free for everyone, including anonymous reports. Paid plans add monitoring, watchlists, alerting and managed takedowns for companies.

What is a phishing takedown service?

A phishing takedown service files structured abuse requests with hosting providers, registrars and blocklists on your behalf and pursues each case until the malicious URL returns 404 or the domain is suspended. Fraudpol runs the full lifecycle: forensic capture, hoster escalation, ASN escalation and re-takedown monitoring: with a defined SLA.

How fast is a phishing takedown with Fraudpol?

Median resolution against cooperative hosters (AWS, Google Cloud, Cloudflare, OVH) is 2-8 hours. Bulletproof or offshore infrastructure can extend to 24-72 hours; Fraudpol's automated ASN escalation reduces that dramatically. Company-tier SLAs guarantee first response within 30 minutes, 24/7.

Why not use Google Safe Browsing or APWG alone?

Blocklists only warn browsers: the phishing site stays online, still steals from users who bypass warnings, and still damages your brand. Fraudpol combines blocklist submission with real infrastructure takedowns at the hoster and registrar, so the URL disappears entirely.

Does the phishing takedown service include brand impersonation and lookalike domains?

Yes. The Watchlist Radar continuously monitors newly registered domains for typosquats, homoglyph attacks and lookalikes targeting your brand. When a match is confirmed as phishing or impersonation, a takedown is filed automatically: no manual submission required.

What evidence do we get for compliance, insurance or law enforcement?

Every case ships with a forensic PDF: full URL and IP path, WHOIS snapshot, TLS certificate chain, DOM capture, hoster and registrar correspondence, timestamped screenshots and MTTR metrics. Evidence chain is NIS2-, GDPR- and BaFin-aligned and suitable for cyber-insurance claims.

How does Fraudpol integrate with our SOC or SIEM?

REST API, webhook events, Splunk / Sentinel / Elastic connectors, Slack alerts and Discord role sync. Reports and status changes stream in real time to your existing incident-response tooling: no context switching required.

What does the phishing takedown service cost?

Priced per volume and SLA tier. The Company plan includes managed takedowns, brand-watch radar, evidence vault and API access. Enterprise-tier adds dedicated analyst hours, custom SLAs and a trust badge for your site. Contact us for a scoped quote.

The managed phishing takedown workflow

Step 1

Threat submitted or auto-detected

Your security team, SOC or brand-watch radar submits a URL: or Fraudpol's watchlist finds a lookalike domain automatically. AI Triage scores the case for phishing, credential theft, brand abuse and malware in seconds.

Step 2

Forensic evidence capture

The Fraudpol team captures a legally reusable snapshot: DOM, HTTP headers, TLS certificate chain, WHOIS, hosting IP path, ASN and full-page screenshots: sealed in the Evidence Vault for audit and law-enforcement handover.

Step 3

Managed takedown across the stack

Abuse tickets filed with the hosting provider, CDN (Cloudflare, Fastly), registrar and: if unresponsive: the upstream ASN. Blocklists (Google Safe Browsing, Microsoft SmartScreen, APWG, URLhaus) are notified in parallel.

Step 4

24/7 monitoring & re-takedown

HTTP status polled hourly. If the same actor re-hosts on a new IP or clones to a fresh subdomain, Fraudpol's fingerprint detection triggers an automatic re-takedown: you don't file the same case twice.

Step 5

SLA reporting for your board & auditors

Every case ships with a resolution timeline, hoster response time, MTTR metrics and a forensic PDF export. NIS2- and GDPR-ready evidence chain for compliance reviews and cyber insurance claims.

Where takedown requests land

Fraudpol coordinates every removal channel in parallel: so users are warned within minutes and the underlying infrastructure is offline within hours.
