Safety

Report a link

Reports are reviewed by a human and prioritized over all other mail.

If a short link on website-shortner.link points somewhere harmful, deceptive, or otherwise in violation of our Acceptable Use Policy, please tell us. You don't need an account, and you don't need to be certain — "this seems off" is reason enough to look.

How to report

Email abuse@website-shortner.link and include:

  • The full short URL (e.g. https://website-shortner.link/x7Kq2) — this is the one essential item.
  • What you observed — where it redirected, what the destination asked for or tried to do.
  • Where you encountered it (an email, a post, a message), if you're comfortable sharing.

A screenshot of the destination helps but is never required — don't revisit a page you believe is dangerous just to capture one.

What happens next

  1. We confirm receipt of your report.
  2. We check the link's destination and history against our Acceptable Use Policy.
  3. Violating links are disabled — they stop redirecting and show an error page. Serious cases (phishing, malware, illegal content) also trigger a review of the entire account behind the link.

If you've been harmed

If you entered credentials or payment information on a destination you now believe was fraudulent: change the affected password immediately, enable two-factor authentication, and contact your bank or card issuer. Reporting the link to us helps protect the next person, but securing your own accounts comes first.
