    How do I get a website taken down?

    Its hosting a phishing site (badly written too!) www.neonlike.net.

    Find out who is hosting the site by getting it's IP address and doing a lookup on the net registration.. Then email the abuse department of the host.. IME, these things get taken down fairly quickly if the host is a reputable company..

      Contact the affected bank/company, they will have procedures to have it taken down quickly. Who is it btw?

        What makes you think it isnt a legit (if somewhat odd) web site?
        Why do you want it downed?
        I am not qualified to give the above advice!

        The original point and click interface by
        Smith and Wesson.

        Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

          Check this bit out on their site http://neonlike.net/index/natwestbus...ing/Login.html
          Plus the fact I got a mail directing me to it

          The email was interesting though - it didnt seem to realise there was a Nat West bank & a nationwide building society & they are separate - it varies between the two through the email!

            Contact natwest at [email protected], if you recieved this as an email I'm fairly confident natwest already know about it.

              I cant see that link in the web page. Could they have been hacked and not be aware of it?
              Could there be another reason for it being there?

                The link would have been sent in an email..

                  It's a classic site compromise and "phishing site in a box" upload, used to see these all the time. Often with a console to control the phishing site open to the world...

                    When I first got phishing emails I used to forward them onto the bank concerned. But I never got even a thanks. So I never report them now.

                    IMO banks should be made to pay to cover any losses from these phishing sites - they dont take it seriously enough.
