Here one must be careful. IT MIGHT not be a scam as sometimes, to trick google from shutting down ads, exchanges use such third party domains for ads.
Legit website will include in their mails their legit domains, they use their legit domains for ads. What can happen is that some people can use referral link as a domain which will direct people to the right site, but people should be careful of google ads, there have been several cases that the ads are for scammers. I treat google ads like scam and I do not click on ads at all which is the best. As for that link, it is a scam site.

This is for many businesses the only way to advertise in serach results as they create non crypto heavy landing pages where certain buzzwords are missing

About three weeks ago, I reported how fake exchanges appeared in search engines, particularly Google, it was reported on this thread and with some help, the scam was removed, but another one has been set up, and I am positive that the scammers are getting people, otherwise, they would not have set up another fake gate.io exchange.
This time, I noticed something odd, when I first searched for Gate exchange, the fake one was displayed at the top, and I copied the link and when I was about to open this thread, something told me to re-enter the words into Google, and this time, the second scam name that displayed was different from the first one, it now turns out that there two different scam websites(domains) mimicking real gate exchange design by one person.



The names of the two scams website are:
Code:
https://ggatte-io.com/login/

Code:
https://gati-io.com/login

They both appear the same by design, have the same functionality, but are on separate domains, who knows if one is a backup in case Google finds out and takes one down, they will simply move to the second one.
Be careful of how you used search engines, don't make use of search engines to look for exchanges.
