Screenshot of the error

You already have established communication with the Trust & Safety Team using email and have received the Report ID. It’s best you continue to communicate with them alone using the same email although you may need to wait for their reply. There’s hardly anything that community be of help.

Thank you. I just haven’t gotten any response, not even an auto-response. Well, I hope this gets resolved quickly, as it’s obvious someone sent the report with the intent of defaming the reputation, right to the home page where there is no form or links to download files. So I’m not quite sure what the reason is.

Certainly understandable. Again, you got to wait for their response. There’s no ETA for it, I guess.

If there is anyone here from Cloudflare’s official support, can you tell me if I should get a confirmation message when I send an email to [email protected] ? I just haven’t received anything. I sent it from my email, which is listed in my account.
But I sent the email directly (indicating their response and the original email subject - [1822918a3d632ae1]: Cloudflare received a phishing report regarding your site), not a “traditional” reply.

If the issue is not resolved within a week, I will have to move to another CDN, Fastly or Google CDN, which will certainly not block the main page of the site because of a report that was made through a temporary email and with a non-existent name, which says nonsense about “registration” and “hash mismatch”.
