Do You Recognize the Signs?

A cloned domain rarely stands out right away. Usually, individual signals from customers or employees pile up until the pattern becomes clear.

Unknown Domain With Your Logo

Customers or employees report a foreign website that has copied your logo, your colors, or your text.

Customers Report Being Asked for Data

Calls or emails are piling up from customers asking about a suspicious payment or login request on "your" site.

A Foreign Ad Leads to the Wrong Site

A Google ad using your brand name doesn't lead to your domain, but to a similar-looking site.

Emails Using Your Sender Address

Recipients receive messages that appear to come from your domain, even though you never sent them.

Nearly Identical Design, Different Domain

A foreign website doesn't just copy your logo — it takes over layout, structure, and wording almost one-to-one.

Google Is Already Warning About the Site

The search engine or browser is already showing a security warning for the cloned domain, before you could react yourself.

Do several of these apply to you? Then the order of operations matters now: secure first, then report. Every takedown destroys traces that will be missing afterward.

Scope
 

What Evidence Preservation Includes

Anyone who reports immediately without securing evidence first destroys the only traces that could lead to the operator. Once the site is taken down, the source code, the destination of submitted data, and the real server address are gone. The order matters: secure first, then report.

No Customer Contact Found

No order, no booking, no receipt for the mentioned incident can be found in your system. The central starting point for every report.

Recurring Text Pattern

Identical or slightly reworded phrases show up across multiple companies, often in unrelated industries.

Sudden Time Clustering

Several reviews appear within a few hours, clearly outside the site's usual review pattern.

Suspicious Profile Details

Newly created accounts with no other review history, sometimes with a generic profile picture or a made-up name.

Cloned Domains & Phishing.
