Glad their response was swift.
It looks like put a bit more effort into this site than the normal phishing site.
Good job reporting it
I would hope most users look at the URL when they go to any sites. Ok ok it is possible to slip up at miss it.

There's so many of these. I actually clicked on one before, except it had somebodies IP for the subdomain. Ran off that site as if it was vermin. Most of them are reported, though.
Looks like it's marked as a phishing site and it's down already!
+1 Thank you for the warning.
Is there a way to report these sites to the Kaspersky Internet Security URL Advisor or some other anti-Virus web browsing suite? I am afraid that already it is getting late... hundreds of people might have lost their coins up to now.
is multibit more secure?
These phishing sites pop up quite frequently and I'm sure they'll only get more popular.
Reported, the site will be down in little to no time once its noticed.
Thank you, hopefully with good many people reporting Google will remove the Ad or at-least it will start showing the warning when someone visits that site.
Reported.
Very good catch OP.
I hope not many of the people were cheated by this fake phishing site.
Tons of phishing attempts all around.
We must pay attention while surfing the net.

never used that shit and will never start. But I'm not wondered that some guyz are trying to earn on Bitcoin theme doing sites like that.
Yes they are impersonating blockchain's wallet page, so I request all to report it to Google AdWords so they remove the Ad, And I also added the Google's report phishing site link to the top post: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?rd=1
Report it there also, so when people open it they will receive a warning from Google.com

Nice catch... looks like gwyndara.com is an Irish Setters pet dog provider. Following is the domain owner's details from the domain history...
