What we take down

Your problem, our fix

Copied website, fake shop or fake profile: we know the route to removal for each case and take it for you.

Your problem What nebty does
A fake copy of your website is online. Brand impersonation We save the evidence and have the site shut down at the host and registrar. Through Google Safe Browsing, browsers warn your customers even sooner.
A fake shop sells your products, and customers wait for orders that never arrive. Fake shop We report the shop to its host, registrar and browser blocklists and stay on it until it is offline.
Another site uses your company details: your imprint, address or registration number. Identity misuse We take the site offline. You can use the documented evidence for a police report.
Someone registered a domain that looks like yours, such as yourcompany-shop.com. Lookalike domain Monitoring flags such domains shortly after they are registered. Once one is used for fraud, we have it suspended.
Customers get emails or invoices in your name that you never sent. Phishing We have the phishing page behind the links shut down and added to anti-phishing lists.
A profile with your name and logo talks to your customers. Social media impersonation We report the profile through the platform's official channels, with proof that it imitates your company.
A fake profile of your managing director asks staff or partners for payments. CEO fraud We have the profile suspended and take related domains offline.
Ads with your name lead to a scam page. Malvertising We report the ad to the ad network and have the target page shut down.

Who uses nebty and who reports on it

Our customers include the heating oil portal esyoil, the finance app Finanzguru, the tokenization platform Cashlink and the AI service OpenRouter.

Our research into the fake shop network DoppelCart uncovered 119,000 domains that copy real online stores. BleepingComputer, Malwarebytes Labs, Golem.de and BR24 were among those who covered it, and BR24 ran it under the headline "Betrugswelle zielt auf kleine Unternehmen und Verbraucher" (a fraud wave aimed at small businesses and consumers). In the ARD documentary "Die Wahrheit über Google", founder Benedikt Scheungraber talks about fake shops in Google Shopping ads. All reports are on our press page.

nebty protects our digital identity and helps us meet compliance requirements. Continuous monitoring lets us spot potential attacks early, protect our brand reputation, and minimize financial losses, exactly what we need in the highly regulated financial industry.

FAQ

Questions small businesses ask us

Short answers to the questions we hear most about this topic.

Your question is not on the list? Ask Benedikt directly
Is there brand protection software for small businesses?
Yes. nebty is a brand protection platform by nebty GmbH, founded in 2024 in Munich, Germany, and built for small and mid-sized businesses. It gives you the same protection as an enterprise solution, with public prices and no security team needed on your side. nebty watches lookalike domains, social media, ads, search results and AI answers for fakes of your company and gets confirmed fakes taken down at the host, registrar or platform. Monitoring costs €99/$119 a month per brand, a takedown €400/$450 and only when it succeeds, and you can test it free for 14 days.
How much does brand protection cost for a small business?
At nebty, monitoring costs €99/$119 a month per brand, or €990/$1,190 a year. A takedown costs €400/$450, or €300/$340 for monitoring customers, and you only pay when the fake is offline. There is no setup fee. There is no minimum volume: a single takedown without a plan works just as well as ongoing monitoring. With the annual plan and two successful takedowns you pay €1,590 net a year. The enterprise vendors we compared start at roughly $15,000 to $60,000 a year.
Is brand protection the same as trademark protection?
Not quite. Trademark protection usually means a registered trademark at the USPTO, EUIPO or a national office, which gives you the right to your name or logo. Brand protection is the ongoing work online: finding fakes of your company and getting them removed. In most cases you do not need a registered trademark for a takedown, because fraud and impersonation already break the policies of hosts and platforms. In a dispute over a domain, for example a UDRP procedure, a registered trademark helps a lot.
Someone copied our company website. What can we do?
Send us the URL. We save the evidence, find the host and registrar, file the notices and follow up until the site is offline. At the same time we report it to Google Safe Browsing, so browsers warn your customers even sooner. You pay only if the takedown works.
A fake shop uses our company details. What should we do?
We take the shop offline: notices to the host, registrar and Google Safe Browsing until it can no longer be reached. You can use the documented evidence for a police report; many countries have an online form for cybercrime. A short warning on your own website helps deceived buyers find you. You pay only if the takedown works.
Should we send a DMCA notice?
It can help with a US host when a page copied your texts or images. The operator can file a counter-notice, though, and the host may then restore the page. For fraud and phishing pages an abuse report is usually faster, because hosts do not have to wait for a counter-notice to remove fraud. We pick the route per case and use copyright claims where they are the stronger lever.
Do we need a lawyer to get a fake website removed?
Usually not. Hosts, registrars and platforms remove fraud and impersonation under their own abuse policies, and a well-documented abuse report is enough in most cases. A lawyer matters when you want the domain transferred to you, for example through a UDRP procedure, or when you want to sue the operator.
Do we need an IT security team to use nebty?
No. nebty runs the monitoring and the takedowns. You get an alert when a finding needs your decision, such as whether a domain is a fake or belongs to a partner. nebty works without dedicated security staff, and a security team you hire later can use the same account.
How long does it take to remove a fake website?
Many fakes come down within 24 to 72 hours when the evidence is clear. Providers that are offshore or slow to respond take longer. We report the page to browser blocklists at the same time, so visitors see a warning while the host is still deciding.
What counts as a successful takedown?
Under our terms a takedown is successful when the content can no longer be reached with a standard browser from the EU and the US. A listing on a recognised security blacklist such as Google Safe Browsing also counts if it blocks access for most users, as does the suspension of a social media profile or the removal of an ad. If the same content comes back under the same domain within four weeks, we act on it again at no extra charge.
What if the fake comes back under a new domain?
Operators often register a similar domain once the first one is gone. Monitoring keeps checking new registrations around your brand, so the new copy shows up as a finding and goes through the same takedown.
What is nebty not built for?
nebty takes down fakes that pretend to be your company. To register a trademark or sue an infringer you need an IP lawyer, and for counterfeit products sold at scale on Amazon or eBay a marketplace specialist. We do not recover stolen money, and nebty does not replace a spam filter for your own inbox.
Is nebty GDPR compliant?
nebty GmbH is based in Munich, Germany. The platform and its database run on servers in Germany, and we provide a data processing agreement (DPA) under the GDPR. Every subprocessor, including the few outside the EU and the legal basis for each transfer, is listed publicly on our subprocessors page. Support is available in English and German.
