How to Get Rid of Google Results Linking You to Fraud – Even If You Did Nothing Wrong
You’re not a fraudster.
You’ve never been involved in a scam.
But somewhere out there — a blog, article, review site, or forum has your name or business linked to fraud.
Maybe it’s:
- A false accusation from a disgruntled ex-client
- A mention in an investigative piece that went too broad
- A mistaken identity case
- A competitor’s smear campaign
Whatever the cause, the damage is real.
Because when someone Googles your name and sees the word “fraud” nearby — that’s enough to destroy trust instantly.
At Reputation Ace, we don’t just cover it up.
We remove, suppress, and rebuild — so your digital presence reflects the truth, not rumours.
🧨 Why Google Results for “Fraud” Are So Sticky
Google ranks fraud-related content higher because:
- “Fraud” is a trigger keyword for interest and clicks
- Accusatory content tends to be lengthy and detailed
- Allegations are often linked or shared, strengthening SEO
- Even outdated or disproven claims linger in the index
To make it worse, these results are often:
- Hosted on high-authority domains
- Picked up by aggregators and forums
- Boosted by social shares, even if false
One result can lead to dozens of mirror mentions across the web.
🚫 The Cost of Being Linked to Fraud in Search Results
When your name or business is tied to the word “fraud” on Page 1 of Google, it can:
- Kill client leads instantly
- Trigger compliance issues with payment providers, banks, and platforms
- Affect your employment or licensing status
- Damage personal relationships
- Lead to unfair investigations and scrutiny
And the worst part?
Even if the content isn’t about you — the association is enough to cause suspicion.
💼 What We Do at Reputation Ace
We’ve helped high-level professionals, small business owners, and individuals reclaim their reputation after being falsely associated with fraud.
Here’s how we do it — step by step:
✅ Step 1: Identify the Source and Evaluate Legal Grounds
We start by analysing:
- The original content (blog, article, forum, etc.)
- Whether it mentions you explicitly or indirectly
- If it violates privacy, defamation, or GDPR laws
If we can build a strong legal or ethical case, we immediately:
- Submit removal requests to the source
- File Right to Be Forgotten applications to Google
- Provide supporting documentation to justify harm
We’ve had fraudulent mentions removed from:
- Blogspot
- Medium
- WordPress
- Trustpilot
- Google itself
✅ Step 2: Suppress With Precision SEO
If we can’t get the content deleted, we bury it under a mountain of positive content, including:
- News-style features
- Branded blog articles
- Press releases
- Author bios
- Videos and image carousels
- Google Business optimisation
- Professional directory listings
We don’t just publish randomly — we target the exact keywords that the fraud content ranks for, ensuring Google shows your truth first.
✅ Step 3: Long-Term Reputation Reinforcement
Reputation isn’t a one-and-done fix.
So we continue to:
- Rotate fresh content every 2–4 weeks
- Monitor keyword rankings
- Add new backlinks and SEO signals
- Create a sustainable digital firewall against future attacks
This keeps your name clean and your digital footprint bulletproof.
🧠 Real Example:
A tech consultant in Manchester was named in a fintech blog post about an alleged fraud investigation.
He had nothing to do with the case — the name match was pure coincidence.
Still, when people Googled his name, that post ranked #2.
He lost a lucrative contract, a speaking opportunity, and several client leads in one week.
Reputation Ace:
- Filed GDPR-based takedown to Google
- Reached out to the blog with a formal legal letter
- Published 32 new pieces of branded, optimised content
- Created a press release clarifying the error (ranked within 5 days)
Now?
The fraud article is on Page 5, and his LinkedIn, company profile, and case study blogs dominate Page 1.
💡 Important: Don’t Try to DIY This
You might think:
“Can’t I just publish a blog post and push the bad stuff down?”
Not a chance.
You’re up against:
- Aged domains
- Link networks
- High-engagement content
- Google’s tendency to favour negative keywords like “fraud”
This takes a coordinated suppression campaign — not wishful thinking.
That’s what we do.
💬 This Isn’t About Hiding — It’s About Restoring the Truth
If you didn’t commit fraud, you shouldn’t be linked to it.
Period.
Let us take the stress, the strategy, and the search engine drama off your hands.
