  An intern created this website it seems – https://rishav535.wordpress.com/about/

  It was not in my knowledge and now I am unable to contact him.

  My original website is http://www.anupamsanghiassociates.in and I would not like this site to be live.

  Pls help ASAP or call me on [phone #redacted by mod].

  Thanks,

  Anupam Sanghi

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

  @wheniamthinking Since there is no phone support here, I’ve removed your telephone number from your above post as you are posting in a public forum which is quickly indexed by search engines.

  @otpidusprime If you answer a forum post or run across a forum post where someone has added their email (in a way that the forum software doesn’t redact it), phone number, address or any such type of personal information, including receipt and transaction numbers, please MODLOOK the thread and add a tag “remove personal info”. Thanks for your help!

  You can just ask the creator of the site to transfer the site to your account so that you can delete it.

  Read the instructions given here to transfer a site:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

  Let me know if this helps :)

  As I said in my message – I am unable to contact him

  Else if I could, why would I come to this forum? …isn’t it the easiest thing to hit delete :-)

  Well i guess, then someone from the WordPress staff might help you with your issue.

  So, i am tagging this question with the modlook tag so that it gets the staff attention. If you wish to reach the moderator staff directly for your future questions, just use the add modlook tag.

  Read about the modlook tag here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question

  Thanks.

  Hi there,

  Only the owner of a site can transfer it to another account. The site, rishav535.wordpress.com, is owned by the username, rishavbose162.

  We will not transfer that site to another account under any circumstances. If you need that site taken down you will need to contact the owner and request that they do it.

  I understand.

  Pls see my site – http://www.anupamsanghiassociates.in which is a premium a/c holder. And look at the same logo and published content. It will be clear to you that this is impersonation and abuse of your platform.

  The person rishavbose162 is obviously impersonating me. Is it active / serious site owner? Will you not support serious site owners?
