One of the most effective and important advertisement/marketing feature of Google, the Google search Ads is currently being massively exploited by crypto scammers who have reported scammed over 3000 crypto users in the last month of over $4 million dollars. Google search ads is well known as one of the best most effective ways business get good traffic and customers who are in search of a certain product or service. They allow businesses advertise their website at the top of search results so potential customers could visit these business for patronage. However, crypto scammers have seen this as an effective way to market their scam websites and unfortunately been quite successful with it lately.
One reason why Google search Ads has been a success for these scammers is that searches on crypto matters are on the rise globally and most people interested in crypto especially those new to barely know about how serious the issues of scamming and exploitation is here and so they explore any option that appears great to them. Unfortunately, these scammers know this and use websites that seem to offer great services like Defi, NFTs and and juicy ROI on investments which are all scams and mostly phishing sites. They have been also been able to bypass all Google's checks and review processes for scam sites by using anti-debugging techniques ans manipulating the Goodgle Click ID paramater. Of course these Googles ads are paid for, but it is such a small price for what many of these scam sites and their owners generate.
Google is currently developing other parameters and processes to help check these exploitations and I truly hope they find a solution to this soon. Till then my dear friend, you might want to stay off crypto related ads from Google search and only visit sites that have been proven to be true and real.
