A consultation on protection of users against new ways of online fraud

Subject

New ways of online fraud have appeared recently. Fraudsters use Google ads on Google search result pages or ads on social media channels to promote fake brands. The fraudulent ads take user to fake websites with the same appearance and specifications of the original ones. Many victims were trapped into such type of fraud, and their money were stolen by purchasing inexistent products.

Based on its responsibility to protect users against online fraud, the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority launches campaigns to raise awareness of such fraudulent activities, and protect users from being trapped.
