We have unfortunately been made aware that fraudsters are copying elements of ClickSlice’s branding and using lookalike domains to deceive individuals.
These fraudulent websites are engaging in phishing scams and extortion attempts.
Who Are the Scammers & How Are They Operating?
The scammers have created several fake websites using the ClickSlice name, brand and images of our founder (Joshua George).
Here are a few site names we’ve come across and have successfully taken down by filing a complaint with the domain registrars, but please be aware of any others with similar domain names.
