Here’s what Google said about reporting scam ads on YouTube
Reporting those advertisements is the single most effective action you can take to help the automated system flag and remove the scammer's entire account network.
When you report it, here is exactly how to do it efficiently:
Steps to Report an Ad on YouTube
- Click the My Ad Center icon (it looks like a small three-dot menu, an info "i" icon, or a shield) directly on the ad.
- Select Report ad.
- Choose the option for An ad that violates Google's policies or Misleading or scam.
- Submit the report to send the ad to a human review queue. [1]
If you plan on doing this often, you can also look into:
- Blocking the specific advertiser directly from your personal My Ad Center dashboard.
- Checking the Google Ads Transparency Center to see what other variations of the scam that specific company is running.
