How to report a fraudulent website on Weebly

Weebly is a platform that helps you quickly create a website using the drag and drop method. A person who does not know how to program can still create a website as desired. Taking advantage of that problem, many bad actors have used Weebly to create phishing websites to trick users into logging in to receive rewards or vote for relatives.

Currently, most people, after hacking another person’s account, will use the same hacked account to trick the victim’s friends. People without knowledge can easily click on the link and follow the bad person’s request, then lose their account and bank money.
