UK launches new fake ad alert system to target online fraud

Fraudulent online advertising is being targeted via a new reporting system created by UK authorities.

The UK Scam Ad Alert, launched by The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) allows people to report scam ads appearing in paid-for-spaces online to the ASA, who will then circulate details of the ads, remove them and suspend the advertiser’s account where possible.
