Hi Amin, your platform seems nice. Just wanted to give you a heads-up that your website is being classified as ["phishing" by Avast](https://i.imgur.com/SmuuRfD.png). I think if you replace "Amazon" in the url with something else it should work fine. Best of luck!

Reminds me of how nobody could see one of my user's avatars because the url (a hash) had started with an "ad" segment (for bucketing), as in "/avatars/ad/ad3adb33f". So adblockers blocked it.

My protest against such a ridiculous heuristic was to not fix it.

It makes sense why you would choose to do that and I can certainly empathize, but in the interest of user experience I try to fix these problems because my customers deserve a good user experience.

Thank you Yasoob! Dammit, again? I already had them white-label our site once but I'll look into this again. Thank you!
