Link in Seconds lets people upload a file and share it as a link. Almost everyone uses it for exactly what it is for. A few do not. If you have found a link on our service that is phishing, malware, spam, a scam, impersonation, or anything else that breaks our rules, this page tells you how to report it to us and what happens next. We read these reports and we act on them.
If you are a hosting provider, a security team, a registrar, or a brand-protection service: please contact us first. We can disable a single link, block a whole account, and pull the files far faster than an escalation up the chain, and we would much rather fix the problem than have you route around us.
The fastest way: the Report button
Every public link on our service has a Report button on the page where the file opens. You do not need an account and you do not need to email anyone. Click it, tell us what is wrong, and the link is flagged straight into our moderation queue for review. This is the quickest route for a single bad link, because it sends us the exact link and the reason in one step.
Report by email
For anything the Report button does not cover, or if you are reporting more than one link, email us at abuse@linkinseconds.com. This inbox is monitored. To help us act quickly, please include:
- The exact link, the full public URL (for example a /p/[slug] link on linkinseconds.com). This is the single most important detail.
- What is wrong: phishing, malware, spam, a scam, impersonation, or something else, in a line or two.
- Anything that helps us confirm it, for example the brand being impersonated, or a screenshot. This is optional.
- How to reach you, if you would like an update. This is optional too.
You can report anonymously. We do not need your identity to take a bad link down.
What we do with a report
Every report, whether it comes from the Report button or by email, lands in the same moderation queue. From there the process is simple:
- Review. We look at the reported link and decide whether it breaks our rules.
- Takedown. If it does, we disable the link so it stops serving to anyone. A disabled link stops working immediately.
- Account action. Where the same account is behind repeated or serious abuse, we can ban the account and block every link it has created, not just the one that was reported.
We aim to review reports within one business day, and usually faster for clear cases like phishing and malware. Reports of the most serious content, such as child sexual abuse material, are handled with priority under our Child Safety policy.
Copyright and DMCA
Copyright takedowns follow a separate, more formal process, because a valid notice has to contain specific things and the person who uploaded the file has a right to respond. If you own a copyright and believe a file here infringes it, please read and follow our Copyright & DMCA Policy, which explains what a valid takedown notice must include, how a counter-notice works, and where to send it. Copyright notices sent to the abuse inbox will be pointed back to that process.
Our rules and other complaints
What counts as abuse is set out in our Acceptable Use Policy. For a formal grievance under the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, including our Grievance Officer and the statutory timelines, see our Grievance Redressal page.
