Where to report

Include in your report

  • The domain and the specific URLs showing the abuse
  • The category: inappropriate content, malware, phishing, spam, trademark, or copyright
  • Trademark registration details for brand complaints
  • Screenshots or archived copies of the content
  • Your contact details so responses can be sent under the ticket ID

Sav registers the domain; it can suspend or lock a domain but cannot edit the site's content. If the abuse is the content itself, report it to the hosting provider as well.

Sav.com is a US registrar aimed at domain investors, with very low registration prices and a built-in marketplace. It runs a dedicated Abuse Center at abuse.sav.com and states a target of responding to reports within one to two business days, with each report tracked under a ticket ID.

A Sav abuse report can suspend or lock the domain. It cannot rewrite the website. If the fake store or phishing page is still live, file a parallel complaint with the hosting provider. For a cloned storefront selling your products, follow how to remove a fake website. If someone registered your business name and the domain is parked or for sale, use the domain dispute playbook instead of an abuse form. Free takedown templates cover the wording.

Why brand-abuse sites show up on Sav

Investor-oriented pricing makes Sav a popular choice for bulk typosquat portfolios, and its marketplace can surface brand-name domains for resale. Sav's process is form-first: emails to the abuse address receive an auto-reply directing you to the Abuse Center, so reports sent only by email do not progress.

What a Sav abuse report can cover

  • Bulk typosquat portfolios held for resale
  • Brand-name domains listed on the Sav marketplace
  • Phishing domains
  • Trademark-infringing parked domains
  • Lookalike domains for ad fraud

How to file a Sav abuse report

  1. 1

    Document the abuse

    Capture URLs, screenshots, marketplace listings, and the RDAP record showing Sav.com LLC as registrar.

  2. 2

    Submit through the Sav Abuse Center

    Use abuse.sav.com and select the category. Sav's help center says the Abuse Center is the preferred route and that email reports are redirected there.

  3. 3

    Track the ticket

    Sav assigns a unique ticket ID and replies under it. Add further evidence on the same ticket rather than filing duplicates.

  4. 4

    Use UDRP or URS for the domain itself

    Sav is ICANN-accredited and honors UDRP and URS decisions. For bulk typosquat portfolios, URS suspension is often the fastest route.

When a Sav abuse report is not enough

Registrar complaints work for phishing, malware, and clear policy violations. They do not transfer a domain to you, and they often bounce trademark-only disputes. For a brand-name domain you want to own, file a UDRP (or URS for a faster suspension) — the domain squatting playbook covers that choice. If Sav only registered the name and someone else hosts the site, send a second report through the hosting takedown guides.

Frequently asked questions

How do I report abuse to Sav?

Go to https://abuse.sav.com/ and file the report with the domain, category, and evidence. Sav's ICANN abuse contact is abuse-contact@sav.com, but emails receive an auto-reply directing you to the Abuse Center. Sav says it strives to respond within 1–2 business days under a ticket ID.

Does Sav act on trademark complaints?

Sav lists trademark and copyright violations among reportable abuse. As with other registrars, disputes over the domain name itself are ultimately settled through UDRP or URS.

Why do brand-name domains show up on the Sav marketplace?

Sav's investor customers list domains for sale, and typosquat portfolios sometimes include brand names. Document the listing as part of your evidence.
