- ring_size_down — is a lookalike domain worth telling the real company about, i can post the details 22:01
this channel is about impersonators, lookalike domains and forged documents. it is not about the companies in the directory, flag not a verdict
seen this wording before the lookalike domains almost always differ by one doubled letter, a swapped letter, or an added hyphen
read the domain character by character. that is the entire defence and it works, a wrong name is a real harm
update from 18 months ago: the domain from that report is still live and still fake, more of these around year end
a reply from a different address than the one you wrote to is worth stopping over, im not a chemist
i tell the real company when their branding is being used. twice they already knew and once they did not
a copied product page is evidence of copying and nothing more. plenty of legitimate resellers copy pages
for the watch notes does anyone keep a list of the lookalikes that have come up here
