10 Reviews For This Extension
Great tool to report phishing sites and the pages that lead to that site. No longer manual submitting and solving captchas
yes they trying to say we violated their rules and our business page will be closed so we went along with it filling out the form for them then when we hit try to submit it fails no movement and a red page says beware you on a phishing site go back to safety
Dear Google management team, I am reporting that there is a phishing site that is acting in the name of someone else's site. Please help to block the site link, because it has disturbed the original site owner.
phising site collected credit card details how I could report it?
nice extension .. but how efficient ???
I have fixed error for my client website https://vastcope.com . Could you please make the site okay to visit. Thank you.
How am I supposed to use it. I am trying to report a scam website.
It seems to be a good extension to use to report suspicious sites but one thing I think you should change is to add to the settings under site access the ability to change from "on all sites" to "on click". Most of the time this extension will not be used and I would not like it to track a bunch of sites I visit.
