Late last night we discovered when doing research using inurl:mydomainnamedotcom and spotting a suspect link that a Russian based scammer framed my website in the Serps.

He put up a page above my page (a sub-domain using my domaindotcom then followed by the .ru country code ext) claiming it was a PayPal verification page run by my website and done to stop PayPal Fraud, before giving the credit card number to place an order for my product . If you click it goes to a form asking for your login name and paypal password allegedly to verify your identity.

It appears the domain name com.ru was registered and the scammer was using that domain to make subdomains for the fraud.

God knows if some of my prospects or clients have gone there by mistake and had their PayPal account stolen. This kind of fraud is getting more and more common but what can we do about it?
