Scam ads impersonating your brand, found, blocked and taken down

A search for your brand returns a paid result above your own site. A social ad offers a bonus, a refund or a support line in your name. The landing page is a cloned login or a fake support number. ChainPatrol finds these ads across the major ad networks, blocks the landing pages so clicks land on a warning, and reports the ad and the advertiser behind it until both are gone.

Rejected reports are re-filed, and monitoring continues for new ads with the same creative.

Why one report isn’t enough

Why one report isn’t enough

When a network removes an ad, the advertiser often launches another from a new account. Removing the landing page and the advertiser account, and watching for the next ad with the same creative, is what reduces volume.
