Website Copied My Login Page With My Logo, Scamming My Customers?


Clare

Recommended Posts

So I was doing a search for my website's name on Google, and this came up: http://marspedsrl.it/. I checked it out, and it's an exact copy of my client login page on a different url with my logo. I don't think they're even using Blesta. Are they trying to steal from my customers? What can I do to stop this?

 

I was able to find this information on WHOIS, but it's not much: https://who.is/whois/https://marspedsrl.it

 

Thank you, 

 

Clare

 

 

Edit: This is my webpage: http://app.enablely.com

 

 

I don't think they've had a chance to scam any of my customers anyway, because I barely use the site to bill people yet, but it's still important to solve and I plan to use it.

Hi, I tried to check and the site is still online.. I then did a little digging and found the website Is hosted by PrivateSystems Networks NJ which  (http://cqcounter.com/whois/) Which Is linked to knownhost.com (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1178904) You can try contacting knownhost.com to verify and get further assistance.

Well thanks. I did not see before that it was hosted by PrivateSystems Networks NJ in Piscataway NJ. I use Knownhost. That's an odd coincidence.

This is the response from Knownhost. It may explain why the host seems to be the same one. 

 

 

"It's not an actual copy of your website, it is pointing directly to your website. 

marspedsrl.it. 14175 IN A 108.160.154.50

It appears someone has set their external DNS to redirect to your server so it's not a direct copy of your website but simply pointing at it.

I've added the following rewrite rule in your htaccess for the app subdomain to prevent this domain from loading your site:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} marspedsrl\.it [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

There's really not much we can do external wise to stop them from pointing a domain at your servers IP address. "

 

 

So now the link looks like this: http://marspedsrl.it/

 

Can I still do a DMCA?

You can't file a DMCA as the content is technically being served from your own system, thus you'd be filing a DMCA against...yourself.
