Reporting a Fraudulent Website

    Sorry if this is not the correct section...

    I'm wondering how do I go about reporting a fraudulent website?

    The site is (from what I can see) currently posing as a hotel booking site - but once they take your money, that's it. The hotel has never heard of them, you can't contact the website and your money is gone!

    I checked the 'whois' and the site appears to have only been registered last month.

    Firstly, how can I report the site and secondly, has anybody got any tips as to how I can tell for sure that the website is indeed fraudulent as I suspect?

    If you have been defrauded, I would report to your local Garda/Police station.

    I would look at who their payment processor is and contact them with a complaint. I would also dispute the charge by calling your credit card issuer
    (number on the back of your card), in which case you can get a refund once you state your case in writing and it's unchallenged.
