Since these are bulk websites, @Alexandru_BD can send them internally to the malware research team for analysis.

that one is peculiar, but I won't ask why.
these scammers have mostly moved to whatsapp, telegram, gmail, etc…
Dunno if there is any point in collecting phone numbers and email adressess as there is too many of them.

Bitdefender Scamio can only check for links shared within social apps for phishing or malicious content, and not for WhatsApp accounts of users or businesses. If you believe a user or business is a spammer or scammer, you can report them to WhatsApp by following the procedure in the link provided below.

@avetinja you can report the fraudulent urls in plain text like you did in your first post, to expose websites known to scam people, but please avoid posting active links to such fraudulent pages in the community, for obvious reasons. 🙂
Thanks,

Despite being told to stop posting links on the forum, you are continuously doing so. You have already been provided the information to send spam links directly to the malware research team. Posting links on the forum will not forward them to the malware research team. Repeating this behavior will lead to a ban of your forum account without any prior notice. I hope you understand.

it was said to use plain text instead of direct link so I did just that.
I won't use this forum anymore. hope you understand.
you are selfish, too paranoid, and don't deserve my time.

Good day everyone,
Upon checking on Virus total, the website looks to be clean with no AV vendors flagging it and the screenshot below for reference however, while checking it at the same time, the website looks to be down as well

Hiya @avetinja,
I understand that @Alexandru_BD said previously that it is possible to use plain text instead of direct link, but what @Flexx is trying to say is not that being selfish or not understanding you, but its more of an advice and precaution that has been on this forum for a while now as some users will tend to copy or click the link which none of us want to accidentally infect or let other users fall victim to an attack or a clickbait RAT in example.
And yes, he is also right on the part where if you want the Bitdefender support and lab teams to get the links which you seem malicious is by the link which was previously given by @Flexx somewhere further up and they will also be in touch with you more faster compared to it being here as I am also one of them who are sending my own discovery to the Bitdefender Labs team with the link provided. I'm not picking anyone's side over here but just trying to explain and to clear the air.
Here is the link below to get to the Bitdefender Labs team to submit your links if you can't find it or if you are not sure where is it.
Report a False Positive or False Negative detection to Bitdefender Labs
Best Regards,
