PageKiwiSpot scam emails about your website
If you own a website, you'll get emails that look like bills, warnings or favors. The rule: never pay or log in from a link in an unexpected email. Go to the company's site yourself instead.
Not sure when your domain renews? Site health shows the date.
The common ones
| The email | What's going on |
|---|---|
| "Domain renewal notice" from a company you've never heard of, with an invoice | A stranger trying to move your domain to them, at several times the price. Your real renewal comes from whoever you bought it from. |
| "Someone wants to register your name in Asia" | A made-up rival, to rush you into buying domains you don't need. |
| "Your hosting will be suspended" or "your email is full", with a log-in link | A fake log-in page that steals your password. Log in to your host's own site to check. |
| "We found 37 errors on your website" or "you're not on page 1 of Google" | A sales pitch, usually a copy-paste. Check for yourself with our free tools. |
| "Google Business Profile will be removed", from someone who isn't Google | Google doesn't call or email to sell you a listing. Your profile is free. |
Five checks before you click
- Is it from a company you already pay? Look at the sender's address, not just the name.
- Is it rushing you ("today", "final notice")? Real companies give you time.
- Does the link go where it says? Hover over it (on a phone, press and hold) and read the address.
- Never log in from an email link. Type your host's or registrar's address yourself.
- Still unsure? Ask whoever built your site, before you pay anything.
