False positive appeal
Appeal a listing
If a website, wallet, phone number or business of yours appears in the Global Anti-Crime & Safety database and you believe the listing is wrong, find it below and open its appeal form. A human reviewer checks every appeal, and the listing is not re-scanned while your appeal is open.
What happens next
Appeals are reviewed manually. If the evidence shows the listing was a false positive, the entry is cleared and marked as a false alarm in the database. You can track the status on the same appeal page at any time.
See our editorial policy and responsible disclosure for how listings are created and removed.
