That’s why we should practice bookmarking sites that we always used to avoid these types of scams. Google is so unsafe most especially to the new users they get easily tricked by this. I think Google should improve the security of their search engine, meanwhile users should always stay vigilant and educate themselves in using the internet.

It is hard work for Google because they need to update their code to prevent the result, which is useless for people to show.
But maybe we also need to use filter the result that comes in the search engine, not just in Google, Yahoo, and other search engines.
Bookmarking the site that we often visit will help us prevent us from searching from the search engine, which can lead us to scam websites.
Always be careful and double check everything before we do something.

The simplest thing we can do is to avoid searching some sites using google because there are so many sites including the phising one pops up whenever we try to search those legit ones and we should go to their Ann thread or bookmark the real to avoid any confusion which could lead to get affected by those fake sites. And this is a wake up call since I'm sure many forgot that this phising attacks still exist.

When it is about crypto gambling sites that we want to play, it is enough for us to use this forum to search for that site to avoid the scamming that can happen to us.
The gambling site that we got from here can be a good source for us because the site and the member will always help people find a recommended gambling site.
We hope people out there can visit here to find a good gambling site, especially if they want to use crypto to playing gambling.
Even if people have trouble playing gambling on that site, they can visit the ANN thread and ask the @OP to help them.

3 days have been passed but google hasn't taken down the phising site yet until now

What is google taking this so long. Before, when they are phishing sites that are reported to them, they are taking it down immediately.
But this time, they should take it down quick because they've received reports already.

Since it registered its domain on Namecheap might as well reported it also to Namecheap it's a violation of their TOS, Google is still making money from the ads and Google will just let it served all the ads budget before they do action, it's faster on Namecheap than Google's adwords.

Adding adblock, or not using google aren't best way to prevent this phising site because not all people aware with that. We need to make sure all people won't be falling to this scam even though they are really new in gambling

Google is taking time to take down scams. The spelling is obvious but still it can victimized those newbies that are not fully aware about the real bustabit.

To us, we can easily caught them but to the newbies like those gamblers from the traditional casinos that are just migrating through crypto. They're likely the ones that will become a victim of this and I think they're the main target of these scam/phishing casino sites.

Good catch. I wonder why Google still promote such obvious scams for a few dollars on their search results. It feels as if the internet's biggest search engine doesn't care about internet users encountering malicious websites advertised by them. I remember back in 2017, most exchanges have phishing sites wherein if you search their name on Google, it will return you a sponsored website with a few letters edited to imitate the original website. If Google really is against illegal activities, they should also filter ads application for their search results, and not accept applications immediately.

Google is so big that the only way to get anything done is with bots, they cannot let a human do a review otherwise the process will take forever, which is why we must always be on or guard, we must always assume there are scammers trying to get our coins, and while this may seem to be too paranoid it is not when it is true, as such it is important to exercise caution, if you want to find the real website of any casino you can do so in the forum, then bookmark the website and once you do that you can be sure that you will be safe from phishing sites.

Such ads should never be allowed, no matter the reason for allowing them. They are clearly deceiving people.

I think it's a bit too easy to blame the problem on Google.

How is Google supposed to check the legitimacy of their ads in a meaningful and, above all, cost-efficient way?
It could well be that someone launched a page "bastabit.com" and operates a functional and legitimate online casino there. For such checks, simple technical possibilities are not sufficient, Google would have to invest a lot (!) of money to earn less in the end because certain ads are not shown.

-> I think that is utopian.

Of course!
AI and all we - all so stupid that he doesn't understand when one letter is replaced for phishing, and even then it looks like, for example,
u ---> a
It's ridiculous that of normal people buying a domains with a normal business will deal with a such forgery?

I guess the site appeared as Ad on search results. Sometimes I wonder why proper investigation aren't done before allowing such ads on top of search results.

I think it will be important that the real site gets enough people to reports the one using its name to Google. Perhaps the site will be penalized for trying to pretend to be another.

It's the same thing when you are looking for an exchange and search it in Google . as long as google just lets the scammer use them using ads. the phishing of those people will continue I just wish Google do their job and review every ads first before they accept the ads.so ,that there are no more victims and there are also many beginners who can be fooled by that simple tricks.

If they are fooled/scammed, some will probably blame it on it on the real sites.

We will understand if they react like that on the real site since they are convince that they are get rigged by them but once they understand that they fall on a phising site for sure they will calm their burning heads and move on.

For this case its good thing that once we find a phising sites we immediately report it to avoid any further damage to person who don't know about it.

That's what I'm thinking, in this case it's pretty obvious that it's a scam attempt. What's more, you won't see this page if you have an adblocker installed - or use a browser like Brave
Of course, you can think what you want about Brave, but especially in such cases, the Adblock is worth its weight in gold and protects especially inexperienced users from falling for such ad scams.

i have an adblocker installed on my craptop , maybe thats the reason why i never see a phished ads after using google when searching something but i never thought adblock this great that they also have other purpose not just solely for blocking ads . as we can see op catch a phished ad and he was using a mobile version of chrome and i think adblocks extensions arent possible in mobile right ? but if we use browsers with built in adblocks on them thatl do the trick and yes brave browsers is one of those . another one i know is opera browsers

I am reading your posts and I am more and more convinced that the monster of the Internet cannot but know that he has a phishing link on the first line in his search. And this is after the messages of the some users and for 2 days already!!!
How to understand their attitude to the fight against fraudsters???

I think we can report to google that one of the search engine results contains suspicious material that can scam people.
We can hope that Google can respond to this and they will block the site from appearing or even I am sure that Google will be able to deindex the site and kick the site from the search engine.
If Google really to fight against fraudsters, they really need to pay attention to this, and they need to investigate it to find the truth.

We'll know if someone opens a scam accusation in the scam section, this is not the first it happened and it's not going to be the last, they have all the methods available, they just need the right target, and these are newbies who are not aware of these methods used by scammers, the scammers are good in manipulation and they are spending money just look at the design of their site and how they spend their money on adwords.

Isn't it common nowadays that Google search results with a tag of an "AD" shouldn't be trusted or followed?

Who knows it? I do believe if a new user who just know about gambling, they won't noticed if it shouldn't be clicked. Since the difference only 1 alfabet "bastabit"

I'm maintaining a list of Bustabit phishing site here: Warning: Bustabit phishing site.

Good list! It seems just you said, same people who created new phising site after we found out their previous phising site which have been reported.

For those who have reported that site, that site still up until now (i've reported too)

How? My Adbloker doesn't block any phishing websites. Is there any specific add blocked you use that stops users from accessing shady url's?

The first (organic) result is legitimate, it's just people buy ads to promote malware/phishing/etc and google puts the ad results above the organic results. By using an adblocker, it removes the ads and leaves only the organic results which are legitimate.

So yeah, install an adblocker and encourage non-tech family/friends to do so too. The amount of actively harmful ads google runs is obscene. And google takes so long to take any action (days or weeks), that it's often more practical to encourage people to click the phishing links to blow their advertising budget.

They'll doing it for the sake of business, if you want them to take actions it's needed to have a huge amount of reports to make them work and freeze or cancel anything.

Adblocker surely helps and it's encourage everyone to avoid being hacked or scammed by this kind of operators, it's purposedly done due to popularities of the original owner.

Good catch here for people awareness especially those who are not techy they are prone being victimized.
