Reporting a Scammer using Cloudflare...
Hello, I'm the owner of a brand and someone has been using Cloudflare to hide real hosting providers for a long time now.
We did a legal complaint and we have a court order, oredering him to stop the exploitation of those websites as well as an ongoing criminal complaint as he left his country to avoid problems..
Anyway, we are trying to report but the report abuse page is really NOT efficient at all. We can only report 1 domain at the time but the person has more than 10 copies !
And whenver we get the domain host, we then also have to do a DMCA to the host. Obviously as he is using wordpress he is just changing host and we have to submit a NEW report again to cloudflare for EACH URL..
It is VERY annoying and long process.
Could we please have a direct contact ?
Is there any way to actually "ban" him from cloudflare ?
Obviously we can send all legal documents if you need.

?abuse
If you feel that a site is engaging in illegal or inappropriate activities, you can submit an abuse report at https://abuse.cloudflare.com/. The Trust and Safety team will review the details and reply if appropriate. You can also report the site to your relevant local authorities. Reports cannot be filed via Discord or with individual employees or Champs.
As I said, this form is NOT convenient.
1 report at a time only for 1 url.
The scammer has been convicted by law
It's not only DMCA. It's also counterfeit and ignoring law.
@Cloudflare (Server Owner) Any help ?

Ok then who can help ?
There is literally no one to contact for that issue
and no answers on twitter

putting words in my mouth :)
I told you this report is useless
there is more than 10 websites to report
and everytime I DMCA he is changing hoster (so I need to DMCA cloudflare AGAIN)
So cloudlfare is basically helping him

ironic how you complain about people breaking the rules but you yourself can't follow the simplest of rules either
I'm not a criminal, he is
Y'oure not a mod btw ?
Hey. As Idle said, the T&S team is the only one who can handle reports. We can't handle that in the community
