MSE can you please block this web site

Send a complaint email to the hosts as well. I just have.

help@ripway.com

And report to PayPal as well I suppose, although not sure how much good it will do.

Hi I did a few days back but they keep coming back. Paypal have confirmed its a phising web site. They just come back on and use another username on theer host and here

My browser use to warn me of such web sites but I suspect that's only when its been reported as a scam

Its areal pain following them around on forums, I hate scammers and dont want folks to get scammed, it wouldn't been done to me as I am more cautious, but you never know

If the hosts get more complaints about those sites, hopefully they will get taken down quicker.

That is done via people or organizations reporting to google and other watchlists.

You can do it yourself here:

meaning that hopefully it will be flagged as fake and a risk quicker.
