Fraud of my friends company name and created a website pretending to be them
Someone has registered a .co.uk address of my friends UK limited company and is now hosting a website pretending to be them.
This has strangely occurred at the same time a number of fraudulent requests for 3G mobile internet contracts and other items have been raised against the company.
I would like to know what can be done to help him remove these offending articles.
The website is being hosted through 1and1.co.uk, and the website is registered through nominet.
- elleferrer 13y agoHave you tried contacting them directly to remove any offending articles? Other than that, you can try to contact the host provider directly by filing a DMCA cease and desist. But, the UK process to a DMCA Takedown is a bit different than in the US - found this article on Quora that may help you guys: "Copyright Law: Is there a UK equivalent of filing a DMCA cease and desist for websites hosting copied content?" http://www.quora.com/Copyright-Law/Is-there-a-UK-equivalent-of-filing-a-DMCA-cease-and-desist-for-websites-hosting-copied-content http://www.quora.com/Copyright-Law/Is-there-a-UK-equivalent-...
