"Deceptive Website Warning" on my website

Hello,


I personally own a domain (informapple.com) which, at some point in the past, been flagged as a "Deceptive Website" by Apple. (I believe this is due to me using the Apple logo on a page last year.)


This means that whenever a user tries to go to my website on any safari browser in the world, they are met with a huge warning instead of my site (go ahead and try it for yourself).


I have submitted a request on websitereview.apple.com almost 3 full weeks ago (along with a few more since then) and all I receive is an automated email saying "Thank you for submitting a website review request. This message was automatically generated in response to your request to let you know that it was received. Please don’t reply to this message."


There is never any follow-up email and my website is still flagged.


I have tried talking to senior advisors, developer support, business support, emailed the executive team, etc. all with no help.


What can I possibly do.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4

Yes, using a stock, unmodified Safari, on several different Macs.


The page is utterly unremarkable and I can find nothing wrong with it:



That's all. No exceptions, no failures, no "warnings" just a plain old boring website.


All I have to suggest is the mundane If Safari doesn't open a page or work as expected on your Mac - Apple Support. Methodically review all those suggestions. Some are more useful than others.


Clear Safari's stored data (cookies) and history, but that should just go without saying. If you encountered an error in the past, loading cached web page would be the obvious explanation.

I did, and there is no such warning.

Will do shortly. I’ll capture a few screenshots and post as a reply here.


Hopefully this is some help to you John, or for the OP. It did take two attempts of clicking "Visit this unsafe website" but it did end with the result shown in the second screenshot. Messages below were while using the iMac on OS Ventura 13.5.1 and Safari 16.6.
