Evidence pack
Screenshots, page source, timestamps, and DNS, WHOIS, and hosting details for every fake site.
The Problem
Your Customers Are Typing Passwords Into a Copy of Your Site
It usually surfaces through support: a customer asks why their account was emptied, or forwards an email linking to a login page that isn't yours.
No reply
Web form reports vanish without a response or a ticket number.
No reply
We send evidence-backed reports to each provider's abuse contact and follow up.
One layer
The host gets a report, but the domain and CDN stay live.
One layer
Host, registrar, CDN, and browser blocklists each get their own report.
Browser gap
Customers can still open the fake page while removal waits.
Browser gap
Safe Browsing and SmartScreen reports can put a warning screen in front of it.
New domains
The same kit returns on fresh lookalike domains.
New domains
We watch new certificates and typo domains so the next copy is caught early.
Customers call support all morning, each locked out after logging in through an emailed link. The link opens a perfect copy of your login page on a domain one letter off from yours. You report it through a web form and hear nothing back. The same emails spoof your own domain in the sender line. By the time one host acts, the same kit is live on new domains, and your customers blame you.
We start by capturing evidence before anything changes: screenshots, page source, the kit's URLs, timestamps, and who hosts and registered the domain. Then we report to every layer that can act: the host, the registrar, any CDN in front, Google Safe Browsing, Microsoft SmartScreen, and APWG. We follow up until each one acts or refuses, then watch for the kit on new domains. Your customers get a blocked fake site, not a form someone filed once.
Evidence captured first
Screenshots, page source, and hosting details are saved before the site moves or changes.
Every layer reported
Host, registrar, CDN, and browser blocklists get reports in the format each one acts on.
Watch for the next copy
Lookalike domains and returning kits are tracked after the first takedown.
Our Phishing Takedown Service Process
From First Report to Fake Site Down in Five Steps
You confirm which sites are fake and approve each report, and you see every provider's response as it comes in.
We look at the fake URLs, how customers reached them, and whether your email domain is being spoofed. You get the takedown plan, the providers involved, and a fixed price before any report goes out.
What's Included
What You Get With Phishing Site Takedown
An evidence pack, abuse reports to every layer that can act, browser blocklist reports, follow-ups and escalation, return watching, and a report of every outcome.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites, apps, and platforms for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Brands Trust Us to Take Down Fake Sites
Takedowns depend on other companies acting on your report. These habits make each report hard to ignore and keep your own conduct clean.
Evidence before reports
We capture the fake site completely before reporting it. Providers act sooner on a clear evidence pack, and the page may vanish once its owner notices.
Each provider's format
Hosts, registrars, and browser lists each want different proof. We send what each one asks for, not one generic complaint copied everywhere.
Lawful reports only
We report only through official abuse channels, and we don't attack, hack back, or flood a fake site. That keeps you clear of legal trouble and keeps providers listening.
Honest about timing
Some hosts act the same day, and others take weeks or refuse. We tell you who has responded, who hasn't, and what escalation is left.
Disputes go to counsel
When a domain dispute needs UDRP or a court, that's your lawyer's call. We hand them the evidence pack instead of giving legal advice.
Fixed price per campaign
The price is set by how many fake sites are live after the free review. If reporting it yourself will clearly work, we'll tell you before we quote.
Overview
How does a phishing takedown service work?
DeveloperLook runs a phishing takedown service for brands whose customers are sent to fake login or checkout pages. We capture evidence, report each fake site to its host, registrar, CDN, Google Safe Browsing, Microsoft SmartScreen, and APWG, then follow up and watch for copies. Takedowns start from $450, with reports filed within 1 business day.

Good fit
Banks and fintech apps with fake logins
Your customers are getting texts with links to a copy of your login page. You need the fake pages blocked and the hosts acting fast.
Stores with a cloned checkout
Your store's design was copied onto a lookalike domain that takes card details. You need a phishing website takedown and a warning for your customers.
SaaS teams whose users get phished
Your users report emails linking to a fake sign-in page under your brand. You need each phishing site takedown filed with the right evidence.
Brands hit by repeat lookalike domains
Your brand keeps showing up on new typo domains every few weeks. You need a domain take down service that also watches for the next one.
Agencies protecting a client's brand
Your client found a fake copy of their site, and your team doesn't file abuse reports. You want takedowns filed and tracked under your name.
Not a fit
Staff phishing training
You want to test or train your staff against phishing emails. Our phishing simulation service is built for that.
Mailbox already hijacked
An attacker is inside a staff mailbox and sending invoices from it. Our business email compromise response service handles that first.
Ongoing watch, no fake site
You want continuous alerts for leaked staff passwords and lookalike domains, with no live fake site yet. Our dark web monitoring service fits better.
Criticism or review sites
You want a negative review or a critic's site removed. That isn't phishing, and abuse channels won't act on it.

Send a message or book a call with the team.
Takedowns start at $450 for one fake site, including the evidence pack, reports to every layer, follow-ups, and 14 days of return watching. Campaigns with up to 5 fake sites start at $1,100, and brand protection sprints with up to 15 sites start at $2,200. You get a fixed price after the free takedown review.
We file reports within 1 business day of confirming the fake site. After that it's up to the providers: some hosts remove a page the same day, while others take weeks or refuse. Browser warnings often appear before removal, which protects customers while the takedown is still pending.
Collect evidence first, then report the site to its host, its registrar, and any CDN in front of it. Look up the domain with ICANN's lookup tool to find the registrar's abuse contact, and check the IP address to find the host. Add reports to Google Safe Browsing and Microsoft SmartScreen so browsers warn visitors while providers act.
A domain takedown asks the registrar to suspend the domain, so it stops resolving everywhere at once. Registrars act on evidence of phishing or malware under their abuse policies, and an ICANN complaint is the next step if one ignores a report. Ownership disputes are different: those go through UDRP with a lawyer.
Report it to the companies that run its infrastructure, with proof of the harm it causes. For phishing or malware, hosts and registrars act under their abuse policies, and browser blocklists can warn visitors. If the site only says things you dislike, abuse channels won't act, so that becomes a matter for counsel.
Show providers that it impersonates you or defrauds people: side-by-side screenshots, the copied logo and text, and customer reports of losses. Clear impersonation of your brand usually gets more attention from hosts and registrars than a general complaint. Report the fraud to the FTC or the FBI's IC3 as well, because official records help when providers hesitate.
Go after the host and the registrar, because a scam site can't stay up without both. Report to each with evidence, then add the URL to Google Safe Browsing so Chrome warns visitors. If customers paid money, tell them to contact their bank quickly, and report the site to the FTC or IC3.
Yes, if it breaks the host's or registrar's abuse rules, as phishing, malware, and fraud do. ICANN's contract with accredited registrars requires them to publish an abuse contact and investigate reports. A report alone doesn't force removal, though: each provider decides, which is why we file with every layer and follow up.
The best phishing takedown service files with every layer, follows up, and watches for the next copy. Large brands under constant attack often buy annual brand protection platforms rather than one-off phishing takedown services. Smaller brands facing one campaign usually do better with a fixed price. Ask any provider what happens when a registrar ignores them.
Phishing kits often return on a new domain, so every plan watches for copies for 14, 60, or 90 days. A copy that returns at the same address or host is reported again at no extra cost. New domains count toward your plan's site limit. Plan 3 also reviews your DMARC setup against spoofed email.
