About
I have spent five years in financial services, with two years working an enterprise fraud desk conducting investigations, and performing detailed data analysis.
As an investigator I have led multi-million-dollar fraud investigations and worked alongside law enforcement at both the local and federal level, from building the case file to supporting their follow-up. My analytics and controls work shapes how I approach a case: start from the data, document every step, and make findings that someone else can verify.

Independent scam-site takedowns
Outside my day job I track down newly launched scam websites, such as cloned sites impersonating real companies, and send evidence-backed abuse reports to the registrars and hosts that can take them offline. This is personal work, done under my own name and not on behalf of any employer.
How I work
- Evidence you can check. Every report lists the exact URLs, UTC timestamps and SHA-256 hashes of the saved evidence, plus commands you can run to reproduce the key findings yourself.
- A person behind every report. Tooling helps me find candidates, but I review every case and send every report myself. Nothing is filed automatically.
- Facts, not accusations. Reports describe what a site does and what the evidence shows, and leave the decision to you.
For abuse and trust & safety teams
If you received a report from me and want to confirm it is genuine, it will come from reports@schonder.me and link back to this page.
If I got something wrong, or a site I reported has been cleaned up or belongs to a legitimate business, please reply to the report or email me. I correct mistakes quickly and will confirm in writing when I withdraw a report.
I am happy to provide the full evidence bundle for any report on request.
