Review Error

Beep boop, I’m a bot! I dug through the forum to get you started. I sometimes get things wrong though, so do with this what you will until a human has a look.

Only Google can remove this warning, so we can’t clear it for you. I found a knowledge base article on the “Deceptive site ahead” warning that explains what it means and how to get it reviewed.

Here is the article:

Google’s automated scanners list sites that look like phishing. That can be a real cause: a copied login page, another brand’s name or logo, or a hacked site. It can also be a false positive. That’s most likely on a new site whose first page is a login form with little else on it. Your account was only created today, and new sites with little history are judged more strictly. Since your site is a job portal, it probably has login or registration forms.

To fix it, follow these steps from the article:

  1. Check what Google found. Enter your address in the Safe Browsing site status page, then add the site to Google Search Console and open Security & Manual Actions > Security Issues.
  2. Remove anything deceptive. That means copied login pages and other companies’ names or logos. If you didn’t put something there yourself, the site may have been hacked.
  3. If the site is legitimate, add a public homepage that explains what it does, so a login form isn’t the first thing visitors see. Also add an about page, contact details and a privacy policy.
  4. In Search Console, tick I have fixed these issues and click Request review. Do this once, and only after everything is fixed. Google says phishing reviews usually take about a day.

If you can’t use Search Console, the article also links Google’s report error form for incorrect phishing warnings.

What does the first page of your site show a visitor? Is it a login form, or does it have other content? And does Search Console list any example URLs?
