  There is a live website that is claiming to be our company. How do I report them?

  Hey shubhamgmath,

  Thanks for your help. Every time I input the link here, it says this is not a WordPress site. However, Wappalyzer is showing me that it is a WordPress site and uses WooCommerce for the E-Commerce side.

  Any other suggestions?

  Here’s the link https://vitair.eu/

  Thanks!
  Richa

  That site is not on the wordpress.com platform but is using the open source WordPress.com. Do a whois search and contant their hosting.

  The site in question is not hosted on WordPress.com servers, and so WordPress.com has no control over the content on that site.

  They only host sites that have “wordpress.com” in their URL or say “Blog at WordPress.com” on the site. They have no control over sites that say “Powered by WordPress.org.” Those sites use the open source WordPress software and aren’t hosted by WordPress.com, so you should contact the appropriate web host with complaints.

  See hosting information on that site here: https://www.whois.com/whois/vitair.eu

  Please consult GoDaddy, the host of that site, with your complaints. All the best in solving this.
