Description

Unfortunately, I am being inundated with malicious adverts from companies via Google Ads Adsense on Youtube. I have made Google aware of the adverts through their reporting process, however, I do not see an improvement. Although I am not taken in by these harmful adverts, I am seeking other avenues to make others aware. This advertisement specifically is by WorkMoney, which seems to be phishing for information. Unfortunately, I am being inundated with malicious adverts from disreputable companies via Google Ads / Adsense on Youtube. I have made Google aware of the adverts through their reporting process, however, I do not see an improvement. Although I am not taken in by these harmful adverts, I am seeking other avenues to make others aware. This advertisement specifically is by WorkMoney, which seems to be phishing for information. After some research, I found the following report on Reddit: "I saw an Instagram ad to apply for an extra $170 to buy groceries. I clicked, wondering what their angle was. It asked if my household was feeling the squeeze from rising grocery prices, then asked which political party I thought was helping lower grocery prices. The next page asked if I was ready to apply for SNAP benefits to get up to $170 to buy groceries."
