And you are young enough and tech-savvy enough to know about all these mechanisms, you made a mistake because you were in a hurry or distracted.
Think of how many people (older and/or not technically proficient) fall in this same trap everyday.
Since ads are paid for (and an invoice is made for the payment), google could well verify the id of the people placing the ad and the correspondence with the "real" organization/website.
They send postcards with a code to verify addresses/titolarity for google business profiles:

and they don't double and triple check ads for banks and similar?
- pancrufty 4y agoThe "I'm behind 7 proxies" meme gained sentience by now. The "real" credit card was stolen in a similar practice from another user. The phone number was entered by my grandma. The address verification was submitted someone fooled in a previous stint. You can't block, detect nor prosecute these people. Google could only try to protect "PayPal" searches but for the rest of them it's going to be a feat. Let's not make it sound like a computer could just tell that all of these are obvious scams. To a computer there's little difference between mybank.tld and mybankverified.tld. Domain age has plenty of false positives and negatives too.
