[WARNING] Google/CMC Advertised Scam - doge.live Cloud Mining 8+% profit daily

[Harkorede]

What happened:  I was trying to make a price conversion on coinmarketcap.com when a Google paid advert displayed on the page caught my attention, It is unfortunate that many people would have trusted the advert because of it's source and where it was displayed. The website claim to be "A Secure Dogecoin Wallet And DOGE Cloud Mining Platform." with series of investment plan and offering an impossible 8% daily profit.

This guys are just trying to mislead people through taking the advantage of google advertising options where they are targeting to show their banners on coinmarket cap. Its quite common in ICO, IEO and other crypto related projects where they target CMC to get potential investors. Ponzi and other money stealing projects are now following the same way now and sorry to say that people who are relatively new in crypto will heavily fall for this kinda traps.

As i am seeing from my end that (doge.live) is a complete ponzi who are showing their ads on CMC through paying to google. I hope all thread visitors will keep them far from this kinda obvious scam projects.

Thanks for bringing our attention on this "Harkorede". Keep continuing your work.

Heya OP!

Thanks for the report. I would suggest breaking the link in the OP (making it plain text/unclickable) so it doesn't give this scam a backlink. Backlinks are actually doing them good in helping their page rank higher in search pages.

I didn't realize there could be such an implication to posting a link, I guess I'll edit out the "https://" then
