I've found a network of scam sites here, how do I report them to google (as they're not just one site)?<p>Cloudflare has been useless (as usual).<p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Mail+for+transaction%2C+Shipping+notice+Weekly+deal%2C+promotion+Activity.%22" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Mail+for+transaction%2C+S...</a>
A few years ago I found a company illegally giving away software I wrote, that I actively sold on my own website. I contacted Google about it, and they said they asked the author of the other website and he said he had the right to sell it, so they were washing their hands of it. If I had a problem, I had to sue the other guy. And that's why pirate websites are so easy to find, I suppose.<p>I even provided them my trademark info. They straight up didn't care.
> Cloudflare has been useless (as usual).<p>They see themselves as "neutral" and just forwards all reports to the hosting provider unless it's directly hosted by them, still worth to do though if the hosting provider isn't bulletproof (another option is going to the registrar)
What country are they based in? Scams are illegal. Try reporting them to the FBI or the relevant United States governing body (would that be the FTC?).
I got a few of these .shop domain names terminated previously.<p>Just reach out to the domain registrar and they have been pretty helpful. Their abuse email will be on the WHOIS (e.g. `compliance_abuse@webnic.cc`).<p>One registrar just deleted it for me.<p>Another wanted this information which I'm sure you could easily whip up if one of those sites affected you:<p>* Screen capture (Please include the reported url in the screen capture)
* Trademark IP document
* Letter of Authorization (LOA)

Can you explain the use of search term and how the results prove them to be scam? Its all privacy notices but I don't understand what it really means.<p>Is it just that all these sites look very similar?<p>Edit:<p>As a solution, A list of domains can be compiled from these results and added to ad-blockers and email clients.
Google will protect the identity of damned near anyone, even ignoring a federal court order, unless a law enforcement officer requests access. Yes, you heard that right. The court ordered they give up information, and Google said no, because it wasn't a law enforcement request.<p>So if you want any action taken, either contact your local law enforcement or the FBI. Oh, and the FBI doesn't have time for this anymore thanks to all the child porn crap they're apparently dealing with these days. That's what the FBI agent I worked with on a case a few years ago, told me bluntly.
Google doesn't give a shit.<p>I tried to order a DVD as a gift for a friend, searched for it on Google, clicked a shopping link from the top of the results and ordered.<p>I had to fill in the delivery address as part of the purchase. A week later I asked if anything has arrived in the post - it hadn't. So I checked what I'd bought and despite the listing showing a DVD cover, asking for an address and looking like a genuine UK based company, the order confirmation email had a download link.<p>This was clearly dodgy, I asked for a refund which I eventually got, but Google wouldn't even let me report it. I even spoke to a support agent who told me it was my fault.<p>Edit: they're still at it <a href="https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/globalstore.uk" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/globalstore.uk</a>
