In trying to find a PS3, I came across BigWinterDeal, only accepting Western Union, referencing EICAFraud.org. Yahoo Answers really helped me determine this is a scam. However, I found this scammer via a Google Sponsored link. How can Google accept ad revenue from such an obvious internet scam? In my mind this calls into question every Google Sponsored Link. I know "Buyer Beware" but I feel internet giants like Google and Yahoo have an obligation weed out obvious scam businesses before doing business with them. Do they do Due Dilegence? How about Corporate respnsibility? Are they not liable if assisting a known scammer to do business?
How can Google be involved in internet scams???
Google Adwords and Yahoo Sponsored Search both have very extensive terms of use for their advertisers...
However they also have a lot of them so if you found something... simply contact Google. They'll investigate it and remove it.
Neither company wants to create a "bad" wrap for themselves. It's just good business. Other legitimate companies want you to report them as well since they destroy the Internet market.

Reply:Contact google.com and let them know. They thousands of advertisers, if not more, on their site.
Reply:they don't care...its all about the money and they can feign ignorance when confronted.
Reply:It's all about making money. The company paid money for advertising and google allowed it. as long as the ad was not bad as in profane or risque.
