My site formtracker.ru shows Safari's "Deceptive Website" warning. I believe it is
a false positive, and I am trying to understand how the Apple-side check is
reviewed, since every other signal I can measure is clean.
What the site is
A strength-training tracker that runs as a Telegram Mini App. There is no login
form, no payment form, and no field anywhere that asks a visitor for credentials,
card details or personal data — authentication happens inside Telegram, not on the
page. The site does not imitate any brand or product; all content is our own.
Privacy policy and terms are published at /privacy.html and /terms.html with a
working contact address.
What I verified
Google Safe Browsing: clean
VirusTotal: no detections
Chrome, Firefox and other browsers on the same device: no warning
The warning appears only in Safari
One reproducible observation
After migrating hosting I created a brand-new subdomain that had never been
published, linked or crawled anywhere, pointing at the new IP. Safari flagged it
immediately on first load. That strongly suggests the entry applies to the
registrable domain and all of its subdomains rather than to a specific URL or IP —
and therefore that nothing I change on my side (hosting, content, subdomain) can
clear it.
Possible contributing factor, already removed
Until 19 Aug 2026 the site was hosted at 79.137.205.96. That address sits inside a
range listed by Spamhaus SBL under a "bulletproof hosting" classification. The
listing covers the whole /24 and the neighbouring /24s, including addresses
unrelated to my service, so it was not specific to me; AbuseIPDB has zero reports
for that address. I have since moved to a different provider entirely, and the
current IP is clean in Spamhaus ZEN, Barracuda, SpamCop and SORBS. I am not
claiming this was the cause — I have no way to know. It is simply the one negative
signal I could find and verify, and it no longer applies.
What I have already submitted
"Report an Error" from the Safari warning screen
The Fraudulent Website Warning review request form

One more detail
The warning also appears with the device region set to Germany, so it does not
appear to be region-specific.
My questions
Is there a review channel for the Apple-side list other than the three above,
and is there any way to tell whether a submission was received at all?
Since a never-published subdomain was flagged on first load, is the entry
expected to apply to the whole registrable domain? If so, is a domain-level
review the only path?
Has anyone here had a Safari-only false positive cleared, and roughly how long
did it take?
I am happy to provide anything else that would help — full URLs, screenshots,
timestamps.
