We take down fake sites of your project. You pay only if they go offline.

Send us a fake website. We check it by hand, report it to the registrar and host under your letter of authorization, and watch it until it stays offline. $99 for your first removed site, $79 for each next.

Your first takedown can be free. Let us publish the case and show your logo, and your first removed site costs nothing. 5 of 5 places left.

How it works

You sign one letter. We do the rest and keep you posted by email.

  1. 1

    You order

    Paste up to 10 addresses, or press “Order takedown” on a finding. Sign the letter that lets us act for your project.

  2. 2

    We check by hand

    We confirm each site copies your project. If one does not, we decline it and you owe nothing for it.

  3. 3

    We report it

    From [email protected] to the registrar, the host and scam blocklists, with evidence and your letter attached.

  4. 4

    We watch it

    We check the site every 30 minutes. Once it is offline, we watch it for 7 days and report it again if it comes back.

Which sites we take down

Sites that pose as your project and can cost your users money. Registrars and hosts act on these.

We take down

  • Clones of your siteA copy of your website, or a page that says it is its new version.
  • Wallet drainersPages that ask to connect a wallet: "Claim airdrop", "Validate", "Sync" or "Rectify wallet".
  • Seed phrase and login trapsFake support, wallet recovery or verification pages that ask for a seed phrase, private key or password.
  • Payment scamsPages that ask to send crypto to an address or pay by card: fake presales and token sales, fake staking, "send 1 ETH, get 2 back".
  • Fake airdrops and TGE pagesAn airdrop or token launch that never happens, used to lead people to one of the scams above.
  • Fake downloadsA fake app, wallet or browser extension in your name.
  • Look-alike domains in useA typo or another ending of your domain, once it shows or redirects to one of the above.

We don't take down

  • Parked domainsA look-alike domain with no site or a for-sale page. Registrars do not act on it. Order a takedown once a scam appears on it.
  • Fan sites, news and criticismReviews, parodies, price trackers and exchanges that list your token do not pose as you.
  • Forks of open-source codeAs long as they do not use your name or brand.
  • Accounts and tokensTelegram, X and Discord accounts and fake tokens are not websites, and a token cannot be removed from the chain. FakeWatch prepares the report you send for these, or files it for you on the Managed plan.
  • Getting the domain for yourselfMoving a domain to you is a legal dispute (UDRP), not a takedown.

Not sure about a site? Order it anyway: we check it by hand, and a declined site costs nothing. For accounts and tokens, FakeWatch prepares the report you send yourself.

The price

Per removed site, not per month. Up to 10 sites in one order.

First site

The first site your workspace ever gets removed.

$99/ removed site

Each next site

Every site after that, in this order or a later one.

$79/ removed site

You pay only for sites that are offline when the order ends, in USDT or USDC. No monthly fee.

What counts as removed

You pay for a site only when it is really gone, not when it is hidden behind a warning.

  • The address no longer resolves, does not answer, or answers with 404, 410, 451 or a server error.
  • We see that two checks in a row, so a short outage does not count.
  • It stays offline until the 7-day watch ends. If it comes back, we report it again at no extra cost.
  • If a site still opens 30 days after our first report, we close the order and that site costs nothing.
  • A browser or wallet warning alone is not removal: the site is still there for anyone who clicks through.

Auto-takedown on paid plans

On any paid plan, turn on auto-takedown once. When FakeWatch finds an urgent fake of your site, we order its takedown for you, up to the number of sites you allow. We still check each one by hand.

Questions about takedowns

Something else? Write to [email protected].

What does a takedown cost?

$99 for the first site your workspace ever gets removed and $79 for each one after it. You pay only for sites that are offline when the order ends. A site we decline, a cancelled order or a site that stays online costs nothing. There is no monthly fee.

What counts as removed?

The address no longer resolves, does not answer, or answers with 404, 410, 451 or a server error, two checks in a row. A browser warning alone does not count: the site is still there for anyone who clicks through.

Who sends the report?

We do, from [email protected], with the letter of authorization you sign when you order. We check every site by hand first and decline any that is not a clear fake of your project.

Which sites can you take down?

Sites that pose as your project and can cost your users money: clones of your site, wallet drainers, pages that ask for a seed phrase or a payment, fake airdrops and TGE pages, fake downloads. Parked domains, fan sites, news and criticism are not takedown cases.

What if the site comes back?

After a site goes offline we watch it for 7 days. If it opens again, we report it again at no extra cost. The bill comes when the watch ends.

What if a site stays online?

We keep reporting it. If a site still opens 30 days after our first report, we close the order: you pay only for the sites that went offline, and nothing if none did.

How do I pay?

In USDT or USDC, after the order ends, from your dashboard. New takedown orders wait until the bill is paid.

Do you take down Telegram, X or Discord accounts?

The takedown service covers websites. On the Managed plan we also report fake accounts, tokens, apps, code packages and videos for you; removing or flagging them is the platform's decision. On other plans FakeWatch prepares the report and you send it from your own account.

Do I need a paid plan?

No. Any workspace can order a takedown, Free included. On every paid plan you can also turn on auto-takedown: we order it for every urgent fake of your site we find, up to a limit you set.

Is any takedown free?

The first 5 projects that let us publish their case and show their logo get their first removed site free. Up to 10 sites fit in one order.
