# Two domains, one warning, the same takedown notice.

ID: SA-064
Type: Actual website capture
Audience / at-risk group: Retail investors and anyone offered an online investment account
Subject: stanlakegroup.co.uk
Sources checked: 2026-10-12

## Lesson
A professional-looking investment website can be built in an afternoon with an AI website builder. Before you send money, look the firm up in your own country's financial regulator register, and treat a site that disappears behind a platform's takedown notice as a warning about every other site run by the same people.

## Source findings
Desenmascara publishes stanlakegroup.co.uk as Fraudulent: the attributed regulator warning is corroborated by the hosting platform's own abuse takedown. The redirect and the takedown notice were captured by Desenmascara on 11 October 2026. Follow the report for the full record and any later correction.

## Limits
This case documents a regulator's public warning and the hosting platform's takedown notice; it is not an independent investigation by this project. The capture shows the takedown notice, not the original site. A regulator's "unauthorised" warning concerns licensing in that jurisdiction and does not by itself prove fraud, customer losses or operator identity. The platform does not publish why it removed the site. If either source withdraws its notice, this case is withdrawn too.
