Someone tried to use my typeform (a contest sign-up) :

 

“When I click on this link it gives me a warning that it is a Phishing site not to proceed.”

 

Why does typeform appear as phishing?

Hi @Halide thanks for stopping by the community! Would you mind pasting the link you’re sharing with your respondents?

@Halide @Liz - from another user here

I just accessed the link and scrolled through the form - did not enter any data - but did not get any phishing warning. 

it could be from the virus scanning software/intrusion detection software that your user has installed on their machine/company network - if the typeform site is not on their ‘safe zone’ list, it might show this warning.

Thanks I think so too. I may just send them a word doc. While its not phishing, the Form asks for a lot of info, so a sophisticated virus scanning software might send a warning.

@Halide thanks for sending this over! I’ve noticed this happened with some softwares, especially if they’re accessing the form while on a company computer or VPN. I’m not sure if that helps a ton, but hopefully gives a bit of insight.
