    Hi to all,
    DP, we have a situation here.
    For about six months, my country's web sites are under attack by a promoter which has over 500 domains, redirecting you to the same fraud page. They are all in adwords program and if your web site is in my language, there is no way to filter them.
    Everybody blocked 200 domains but they are over 500, I tried ip filtering, but I am not sure if it is working.. Some days it seems to work, some days not.

    We reported the advertiser thousands times, but google wont do anything.

    Known facts about the advertisements:

    They all have .info domains.
    They all ends up in the same another domain.
    They are fraud, because they offer you 100 free credits for your cell phone but once you sign up, they charge 250 credits every month.
    They were in the TV commercials, but banned for these reaosons.
    And they are more than 500 so can nat be filtered..

    What can we do?

    Note: I did not mention my country, cos it does not matter with this situation..

    Usually these advertisers use ads target placement to place their ads and their pay by impressions. You have to contact google to remove your site from showing the placement ads.

    I forgot to tell, they are not placements. I already banned all placemnts long time ago. they are aggresive and using a shotgun. They do not target a website, all websites.

    The only way to overcome this is to take your case up with google and present the facts. I really can't think of any other possible ways.

    Well, but since you have already said you've done that a thousand times, I'm also in the lost.

    I think this is a very obvious case of manipulation. Surprised that google haven't done anything until now. I mean you have attached all the screenshot to them right?

    We are suffering from the same issue :(
    I wish google had supported regular expressions to filter domains, so I could block *.info and get rid of all those crap sites....

    Let us know the progress. Hopefully google will take notice of it. In fact, I don't see why they should ignore the issue for the sake of protecting advertisers. Obviously this will give disadvantage to others not only to publishers but advertisers as well.

    Google did not notice our reports.
    IP filtering seems to work most of the time, but not all the time.
