    Hello, i would like to ask if you have any thing you can do for us to help us with shutting down [ https://befitnessdeals.be/ ] , one of the several websites that a scammer is using in Europe to target old people.

    we are trying to take the websites down to stop the increase of victims asap.
    You can check it yourself, anyone with common knowledge can see that its one of a net of a hundred websites that are created to scam people.

    There is also no legal company behind them.
    The WhoIS information might be surprisingly correct though .
    Since its on a name of a person who is known for commiting such crimes in Belgium.

    We are trying to get this person his websites taken offline asap since he targets especially people of the ages 60+ whom are not very techy . Thanks in advance, we will keep looking for ways to get help

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Unknown

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    We can’t help directly because we don’t host that site on our WordPress.com managed business hosting. As a result we don’t have the ability to take a closer look at this site.

    Instead that site uses the open-source variant of the WordPress platform which is free to use and not owned by any company. However, I do see that befitnessdeals.be is hosted at neostrada.nl. As a host they are responsible for sites they host, and they have a form here you an use to issue a “takedown” of the site if it violates their terms of service.

    You can report the site here: https://www.neostrada.nl/notice-takedown.html

    Hope this helps point you in the right direction!
