FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you report a fake ad using my brand?
Yes. We capture the ad, landing page, advertiser signals, and copied creative, then submit through the reporting path that fits the evidence.
What if the ad disappears before review?
Evidence capture matters. Screenshots, URLs, timestamps, and advertiser details help preserve the record when the ad is no longer visible.
