I would like to report an ad pretending to be an official french government site to scam people at around 25000 to 30000 € according to Trustpilot users. “France Eco Infos”, a fake news website, is linked to this scam.
Here’s an exmaple of their ads (translation after this image):

No need to buy solar panels – try this instead (it’s brilliant)
How do I report it or if it’s not possible can you report it ?
You should be able to report the ad through the ad itself. At least on desktop, there is a triple dot icon next to that little triangle. If you click it, you get the option to send feedback.
I’m aware that scam ads like this do appear, but my options to combat them are limited. I can look up and block individual ads after the fact, and review the full list of ads that are active on infinityfree.com. But that only works after the fact, and with a very large number of ads being added per day, with most of them legitimate, and most of them in languages I don’t understand, proactively checking it by hand is just not feasible.
It should be Google that screens these ads before publishing them, but they don’t appear to be doing such a great job.
I did block this ad and about a hundred or so similar ads. But of course that won’t do much to solve the bigger problem.
