In-Game Ads That Are Proven Scams
How can a user report in-game ads that are proven scams. One game I love to play has just started an ad campaign for a free box of meat from Omaha Steaks using Joanna Gaines as the spokesperson. I heard of this scam a couple of years ago and it’s not from Omaha Steaks and Ms. Gaines has nothing to do with it. Basically click on the link, pay for the shipping cost with your debit or credit card, sit back an wait for a package that will never arrive. But, you’ve given scammers your credit card info so good luck with that. Another one is the Keto gummies using either Oprah Winfrey or Kelly Clarkson as the spokesperson, neither of whom has anything to do with the company. Will Apple take a stand and shut these games down until they comply? Can these games and ads be reported to the FTC, Federal Trade Commission? What about the FBI since these ads rely on interstate and U.S.Postal services to scam people. Why is no one shutting this highly illegal practice down within the games we play?
