"Fake" backlinks indentified on Webmaster tools. How to remove them?

[tango123]

Hi…We noticed a huge number of “fake” links to our site a couple of months ago through Webmaster Tools.  After identifying that, we tried to disavow the links, but it hasn’t worked.  It looks like a registered domain that has duplicated our entire site.  All links are coming from worldstudy.concretecorp.com.br and when you go to it, it redirects to our site.  These crazy links keep increasing (over 637,000 now!). What would be our options to get rid of them?  Thanks

You are actually in luck. It looks like the site is hosted at AWS. You can send a DMCA notice to AWS and let them know someone has copied your whole site and is hosting it with them. They should take it down immediately. The link you need is here, https://aws.amazon.com/forms/report-abuse

Hey John,

It's a negative SEO attack and as you mentioned it's already been couple of months past, you need to actively work on it to prevent further damage. I'd like to know, have you suffered from a traffic and ranking drop in this tenure? If yes, the at what rate?

You should take up Lesley advice and figure it out earliest.
