What to expect when you report a suspected phishing Web site

SUMMARY

This article describes what to do if you have reported a Web site that you believe has been falsely designated as a "reported phishing site" or as "suspicious" by the Windows Internet Explorer 7 Phishing Filter, but nothing happened.

Web sites that are flagged for phishing are evaluated by a human grader. If our graders cannot confirm that the Web site is a phishing Web site, the Web site cannot be added to our block list. Only confirmed phishing Web sites are blocked.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
