Tell HN: Cloudflare is ignoring Abuse reports for domains using their registrar

Unfortunately it has come to posting publicly on HN hoping that @jgrahamc may be able to get someone involved.

Fraudsters have registered with Cloudflare a very similar domain to that of my company. The fraudsters website is pretending to be us using our trademarked branding and legal entity.

The address they are using is deceiving as it’s intentionally close to our real registered office, the address listed on the website is for an apartment building, there are no businesses there.

Calling the phone number on the fraudsters website claims to be a subsidiary of the United Nations, clearly malicious.

I have followed their guidelines for registrar abuse reports but receive no response other than an automated "we have received your report".

24 June 2025 – initial report via email to registrar-abuse@cloudflare.com

24 June 2025 – web submission via https://www.cloudflare.com/abuse/

2 July 2025 – follow-up request to abusereply@cloudflare.com (listed in the original automated response from the web submission)

18 July 2025 - follow-up request to abusereply@cloudflare.com, registrar-abuse@cloudflare.com, abuse+law@cloudflare.com, legal@cloudflare.com

If there is someone from Cloudflare reading this, the report ids are #19590367 and 419957ad84b52e85

Why have you spent time on this instead of just immediately getting a lawyer?
