Scamadvisor is a big and old site so it is very easy to rank for them. Now they are NOT targeting your site, they scrape all of the internet's websites.
They are ranking on the first page of Google when someone is searching for your domain simply because there aren't many other results to show.
You shouldn't worry about it for 2 reasons.
1. Not many people (if any at all) will google your actual domain name. Who does that?
2. As your website grows, it will fill up the search results on Google with ease.
Also the scamadviser isn't saying anything bad about your site... so just keep on working and it'll go away ;)
Thanks for your help on this i was getting a little worried about it as my site is doing so well generating me new business i didn`t want that rubbish to put potential customers off,
Do you have any idea why it is saying im using a service to hide the identity location of the site ?
Thanks again
That's because your domain name has a private registration info. This can be changed with your domain provider. If you purchased your domain with WA you can contact support and ask them to remove privacy and make your private details (with which you registered the domain name) public.
Turning off domain privacy would be a very bad move -- Doing that will expose your contact information (name, home address, personal phone number, email address) to the entire world. Domain privacy on registrations is a long-standing and accepted practice.

Some themes want you to select which menu to use for Mobile. In WordPress, go to Appearance -> Menus -> Manage Locations (the tab at the top, and see if you need to tell it which menu to use for your Mobile Phone. This gives you the option to have different menu choices if you want by creating a separate menu.
thanks gary,my theme is responsive and mobile optimized and only supports one menu so i have selected primary navigation (main menu),i changed the theme earlier on today and ther menu worked only i would like to stick with the theme i have,sorry for delay in reply my keyboard is pressing wrong things all the time,thanks for the help.
