Fraudulent ad spam

13 times the same advertiser to block

There is a certain type of fraudulent ads.

Make a test, give us Your cellphone number

This sort of advertisier does not make 1 or 2 ad groups, they make more than 10. I have to click at each of them "Block this advertiser"

I think it should be more easy to block this ads.

[jetteroheller]

They hit again, 18 times to block, the same fraudulent ads like last time.

Nope, I haven't seen those ads. I assume that you tried using the category filters or the competitive ad filter to block them?

[jetteroheller]

No, the system where I can review ads targeted for my sites.

Yesterday an other attack, about 25 different ad groups to block,
all with the same scam, sent us Your telephone number and You have an abo for games.

I've seen a few of these and blocked them. Some were site targeted but they were easy to block. The others required the ad filter.

Just spent 10 minutes to block maybe 30 ad blocks from 4 different advertisiers.

Again and again the same banners
Again and again the same scam with a pseudo test
and give us Your cell phone number to view the test result,
(this creates an abo for 5 EUR a week)

I have now 32 advertisiers under always blocked
All the same scam

The ad review center blocks only placement targeted ads. If you see less than 1% placement targeted ads for your account, I would not bother.

Didn't understand what this thread was about till yesterday, but I do now.
The Advertiser which I marked 'Block all Ad group from this Advertiser' months ago, has come up with the same banners and the system is showing as 'Ads automatically allowed' for this Advertiser.
Sure some bug in the system. This dude want's users to fill out a HUGE FORM that contains personal details to download their free White paper.

[jetteroheller]

It happens again and again.

50 ad publishers blocked so far.

They came up again and again with new domain names,
new pubisher names, but the same ads.

I can block new ads only 24 hours.

When I do it not daily, this fradulent ads spam my site.
