Scam account with my personal contact information
-
Hello! A website created with webpress has been using my personal contact information as part of their scam. The website is: ospreyonlinestore.com. I have been receiving calls from people that have been defrauded by this website. Is there anything that you can do to bring this site down? Thank you!
I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

Hello, I’m sorry to hear that, however, the site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted with IstanbulDC, so we cannot help with this.
Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites hosted on our servers. You can find more information here about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/
In this case, I recommend reporting it to the hosting provider via their contact info at the bottom of https://www.istanbuldc.com
