Great find. It took me a second to see the difference! Have you visited the site? It is really copy of blockchain.info created for scamming purposes?
So you can buy search ads from google and they did not check what site they are promoting with their ads?

should report it to google,it's will have a big potential to scam people with almost similiar domain and the adwords,why did google didn't selective on their adwords service,google is a big business and supporting scam?

Yet another reason to use Adblock, I guess.

I went yesterday into google and i found it as well,blochalin.info,i had opened it and saw hey what the hell,does the domain changed?Well some people may had lost their bitcoins already,is bad and stupid to loose money to those bastards scammers,and google is providing the service..... no words,as long you pay them you can scam others,really i dont understand how they allow that .

I just tested this with my adblock - and I am using AdBlockPlus and it doesn't block these paid search ads at all.
My search results looks exactly like that picture Op posted. But I won't click on that fake blockchain to test it, better safe than sorry.

Thanks for pointing out. I went to the site and take a look- It looks just like the real website. I wonder how many got into this scam, esp those who surf on mobile when they are on the move- very easy to "click" on the wrong ad/links.

I never see any ads in search results. Adguard AdBlocker.

I thought Adblock filtered it out as well. Haven´t used it for a while.

As long as there is no confirmation from the parties concerned or other parties who claim that it is a good wallet, then certainly it is a fraudulent website and aims to trap people, they finally took the entire existing funds in it. I think Google is not guilty, because they aim to provide a service so that sites can be easily noticed by many people. And for this problem you can report it to Google

bitcoin again setting the trail blazing benchmark

alerting people to weaknesses in google ads

Human brain have incerdible procssing power taht can soemtime read wrods taht are worngly tpyed adn porcess them into smething taht they are vrey familair with...

I think these scams make use of this to make poeple believe they are visitnig teh correct site.

google obviously let this one through

damn people will do anything to get the coin

They´re aiming for the small screens. People are much more likely to fall for a scam like this squinting at a phone than using a regular computer.

this way is effective for big screen too,top links with ad tags on it make it looks like a trusted site,especially for those un advanced people

Yes, which is why I have no use for those ads. I just use google to search and 99%  of the time  it´s for something that I´m not going to buy or have no reason to see advertised. So why would I need ads?

Oh what the heck i almost fall for that link, its almost the same but missing "C"

Yes  and mostly Mobile users can get scammed/Phished very easily.

Desktop users also ! i don't have bookmarks and mostly i got to address bar and just type blockchain and then click at first link and it's hard to notice when in hurry !

Yeah better keep away from that site and never click on it these kind of site should always be known as a scam so that new users will not fall into it.

 ;D According to whois data this website is just brand new and 4-5 days old only https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=blokchalin.info

Always check the spelling of sites before you access them via google. Nothing has changed, there will always be scum like this on the internet.

You should have 2FA on blockchain.info any way so you'd know it was a scam site any way.

I always type the whole address and I enable 2FA, but the main security feature I use is not to store large quantities of bitcoin on online services. You will never lose your

whole hoard, if you keep more that 80% of it in cold storage. If you make mistakes like this, you will only lose small quantities and you can continue as normal. For day to day

use, it is better to use a hardware wallet, like the Trezor.  ;)

wow thanks for the information even such sites can advertise on google.
I had reported to google may quickly be followed up by google.
I always type the url if want to access blockchain.info.

I think it should also be reported to services that track malware, Malwarebytes etc.

So when people search one of these stupid sites pops up at the top?WTF kind of deal is that,thought big sites would have the top spot most of the time in searches,how are they getting to the top of the page in this case?

it's because phising site owner is using google ads that's why it's on TOP !

Thats pretty slick, google should be more responsible in who they take money from. Sorry for my ignorance on this, was just curious how it was done.

It's funny since google adsense regime punishes regular users everyday, and things like this phising site seems to be ok.

I don't know why the google is publishing this i thought they are against of that. We should report thsr anyone knows here how to do that? Google just taking money not checking the links thats bad we should be aware of these kind of links . And thanks for the information .

AD block is great and i even downloaded Brave browser the other day, great browser just trying to get used to its layout.

That's it. When they have to pay, they are persnickety. But when someone's going to buy anything, they don't care to even check misleading links ::) Google already has engine that corrects any typos in search terms, why don't they use it that way?

wow. this scam is very clever. that's how they steal bitcoins  :(

I'm sick of scams!

yeah, thats a pretty great scam attempt to be honest because the newbies that use blockchain wallet might get hooked to that and show their id and password

i think that people should be careful and check all the webpage details if its the right one or not, i mean this scam does not even work properly, only the open wallet button works when pressed

I don't see the ad now even the site is down that's good, i hope no one lost their coins. always enable 2fa it's the best way to protect account with these kinds of scams.

Yes Finally This Scam site is gone i think ! google removed it after soo many reports !  :)

This remind everyone of us newbies and legends, DO NOT CLICK links randomly just thinking is the right website, always double check what you click and double read it carefully as well, I almost clicked this sh , damn  google letting this going through, we should all report the site to google.

Google removed That site but a new ad for phishing site is online now !

How This Scam Ads comes online and at top on google very fast  ???
Google's Advance Ads monetizing Engine  :o

Well the 2fa were maybe the big reason some accounts still has funds because passwords and adress were taken already ,soo for those i would recomend to change their password to avoid any problem.

Google doesn't take bitcoin seriously so it will not actively block those bitcoin-related scam sites.

If it is scams related to "real" legal tenders, I am sure them will take immediate action.

"Blok-Chalin", "Black-chain"... It's a bit obviously, just need to pay attention haha  :D

If you have fear to be catch by this trap add the legit wallet to your favorite sites on browser, anyway it's always necessary to be very watchful in the case of money transactions, wallets, etc...

http://blackschain.info/index2.htm is still up and running but i am not seeing any google ad in my search result however how they gonna use password and identificer only to open wallet in original blockchain.info? ???

For every login attempt from new browser they need confirmation through registered email. Correct me if i am wrong.

They can store User's  User agent for Browser info and also can use Similar/same region IP/Shock

New phising sites are just popping up each day and sometimes peole don't pay enough attention. Can sites like this be reported somwhere?

google still showing the result but site is not working. possibly it get banned from domain provider.
we should report about these domains to google and DMCA authority. they'll take action to stop this shit.

i already reported it
https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/
and that phising site is still showing at top with different domain name  >:(
