  Regarding this client, we need to prove to everyone that we are in the right.

  Firstly, we received about 800 emails from Cloudflare in less than 5 minutes, indicating around 500 different phishing domains. These emails showed evidence of nearly 500 unique domains, clearly demonstrating that the client knows exactly what he is doing.

  The client even offered to pay extra money so he could obtain the personal information of scammed individuals to make his illicit profits.

  Would you like me to provide more information? We're prepared to share specific domain names, abuse reports, and any other evidence with any forum moderator.

  500 domains? That would have been a massive operation and I'm curious how Cloudflare received so many reports in such a short timeframe.
  Like the budget for the domains alone makes me wonder why the "client" would go with some random reseller.

  500 domains isnt “large” and reports may have been batched explaining why a large volume were received in a short period of time

  How come you don't think it's large? Domain cost alone must have been over $1k, not to speak of logistics. I'm not up to date on phishing techniques but if we're talking E-Mail spam, how many E-Mails would you do per domain? I'm thinking you'd probably end up with upwards of a million E-Mails total.
  All in all doesn't seem like some childs first steps at phishing, so then why would they go with someone seemingly clueless and incompetent (OP) when I'm sure there are hosters that specialize in shady stuff like that.

  For cybercriminals, if they’re even successful in phishing 1 individual, that’s typically enough to pay for the entire operation. You don’t need to be particularly smart to do so. Cloudflare reports probably indicate a phishing website, like a fake login portal or fake support for a company.

  If you look at YT channels like Jim Browning, you’ll see plenty of cases of random call centers making hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars per year off of just scamming people. The scammers themselves don’t need to be master hackers to do this and even the phishing pages themselves are often copied or poorly designed. Despite this, they still get a ton of money.

  i regret my choice of career. time to set up call centres.

  Now you just need to team up with a few teenage CEOs from Discord who used to run Minecraft hosting.
  Two or three young CEOs and one CTO, leading the hosting industry with a "combined experience of 15 years" and you’re good to go.
