Over 3,000 Victims Lost $4.16 Million Crypto to Google Ads Scam

in LeoFinance2 years ago

According to a report from Scam Sniffer, a Web3 anti-fraud platform, at least $4.16 million has been stolen from users who fell for malicious cryptocurrency phishing websites promoted on Google. This is more common than we think, as we usually don't pay attention to the original links of websites.

Apparently, users clicked on malicious ads that directed them to fraudulent websites, most of which occurred in the last month. These investigations revealed that many of these ads come from Ukraine and Canada, including fake versions of popular platforms such as Lido, Defiliama, Zapper, and some other decentralized exchanges and websites.

Did it happen to me when I started in this world, and to you?

In future tweets, I will give some recommendations to avoid these events and thus protect your money.
