    If you are the sort that likes to do amateur sleuthing and falling down rabbit holes this post is gonna be a doozy. Especially if you like exploring large organized criminal schemes that are breathtaking in their scope.

    For those unaware Google Ads has a rule where they disallow ads that promote dishonest behavior. The rule specifically mentions academic cheating service ads are not allowed. See for yourself, https://support.google.com/adspolicy/answer/6008942?hl=en (ctrl+f "academic cheating").

    I'd like to bring to everyone's attention a massive scaled abuse campaign of Google Ads being run by a large criminal organization based in Karachi, Pakistan, the organization is called Axact. If you've not heard of them Google. It's worth a Google. This extortion is scamming people out of money they don't have and often leaving them devastated and in some cases contemplating suicide.

    How does the scam work? Axact has an entire network of U.S.-registered LLCs (set up by Pakistani front men who are being flown in) that they use to run these ads and collect the extortion payments. Their services claim to help cheat on exams, and similar academic cheating services. What Google users don’t know is that these websites are just covers for a massive blackmail organization.

    Victims who click on these Google ads and sign up are asked to allow remote access to their computers. Afterward, they’re blackmailed with claims of government or educational authority affiliation, extorting additional payments—sometimes in the tens of thousands. It’s organized fraud on a large scale, and Google is an active partner, reaping ad profits from these scams while looking the other way. People think because they paid for a cheating service they have to then pay to keep the affair quiet. I know this sounds crazy but it's happening daily. Check the ads below and you'll know what I mean.

    I know people who have considered commiting suicide because of this blackmail. I know folks with not a lot of money who have been blackmailed out of over $12,000, who have had panic attacks all because of these Google ads. I am happy to share the evidence of the blackmail or you know, you can search for the keyword, click on the ads, and sign up and see for yourself. You'll get blackmailed super fast. So, trust but verify all the way.

    This shows how much Google has lost its way. I've reported these ads to Google many many times. And Google has ignored my reports and kept on making money from an obvious extortion scheme that is causing only human misery.

    To recap all these ads are run by 1 network based in Karachi Pakistan called Axact. These ads leadpeople to academic cheating services, once they pay Axact blackmails them for more and more money.
