A website from a company that has been posing as us for a few years has been included in the DMOZ directory. We get several complaints a month from customers regarding this company. I filled out a spam report but I'm not sure if that was the correct place to report it.

Who do I need to contact regarding this issue? The site is part of a huge link farm and I'm sure that DMOZ does not want sites like this included in their directory.

Please mention the category and the site. An editor will check if the site is listable.

As for it posing as your site we cannot be arbiters of that or in any other way take sides in webmaster disputes. If the site is listable then we would only remove it if it was taken down.

Normally in cases like this we suggest that you take legal measures against the other company, or at the very least get in touch with the ISP that is hosting the site to get it taken down.

this is something i've had to do in the past... normally a formal letter with proof of theft from you or your legal department to their isp/host should sort the problem out.. within hours in my case
