Similar names can inherit each other's reputation

If your domain resembles other domains, a system that fails to find you may answer from them — and hand you their reputation.

r-03 · replicated

A site was described using scam-checker write-ups and reviews of five unrelated domains with partially matching names. The assessment was inherited wholesale from sites the operator had never heard of.

The tempting fix is to add a section to your own page naming the sites you are not. Do not do this. It puts a permanent list of disreputable domains into your own copy, and it cannot work: the reader who is confused never loaded your page.
