Say you bought a website that was actually scamming people a couple years back. However, upon registering for the domain name you never bothered to check the previous history of the domain. Once you registered the domain, you begin to perform SEO and noticed the website existed before.
Not only did the website exist before, the website was actually created to scam people. Since the website is now a legitimate business, and it doesn't scam, is there any possible way to recover the trust of the domain? Can you try and contact scam directory website owners, and inform them that the domain was repurchased and legitimate?
No I've never run into this problem before. I think if I did I would dump that domain and start fresh. I wouldn't want to be associated with that scam or anything dodgy!No I've never run into this problem before. I think if I did I would dump that domain and start fresh.

If domain once gets known for the scam, spam and other illegal things. You have to move to other domains. And make sure that you are not getting it. The reason being making the domain score positive will take years. And till then you are going to have the domain in the negative.And that's something you have to be seriously thinking about in terms of the conversion. And make sure to take the decisions in that case. Don't invest into such domains.If domain once gets known for the scam, spam and other illegal things. You have to move to other domains.

That is the issue when buying a used domain. You have to do a thorough research about the use of the domain before. If there is an indication that it was used for evil ways like scamming or spamming then treat it as a hot potato, so to speak. Why re-use a domain with a bad reputation? Unless the domain name means life and death to you then you can choose for another domain.That is the issue when buying a used domain.
