Hi,
I found a phishing web site, where do I report it?
I was in FF, and went to yahoo.com
and searched for "news"
The first URL was an ad, something like
Latest news today.com
This sends you to a page saying that your computer is infected and
to call 888-535-1763
When I do the same in IE11, I do not find the phishing link??
I figured this was a rogue yahoo ad, yes?
Where can I report this?
I tried the yahoo web site, but could only see reporting phishing email.
where do I report phisihing web site

Morning gordon,
The nature of your inquiry is a bit outside the usual 'norm' of support we typically provide here in the PP Forums. However, you may want to check out the info provided at the link below. (You'll need to scroll about two-thirds down the page where it gives some info on reporting phishing sites found when using Firefox (as well as IE and Chrome)):

You may also want to bring an issue like this up with your AV/anti-malware provider. In addition, you can also check out the Bleeping Computer and Malwarebytes Forums. They are particularly good sources of info and advice on issues like this.
Hope this helps and good luck!

You could also report the phone number. There are various websites that provide lookup services, but these are generally for incoming calls. I did lookup the phone number and there's not a whole lot about it -- which probably means that they don't make unsolicited calls -- but there was at least one comment that labeled it as "ransomware."
If it was an ad provided through Yahoo, though, Yahoo should provide some way to report it; I'm fairly certain that they would not want such an ad in their channels... but, yeah, I tried and I couldn't find a way to do that either.
