Cloaking shows ad reviewers a clean page while real users land somewhere else, and only residential-grade click-trace evidence proves the two versions exist.
Reporting a scam ad rarely fails on intent, it fails on evidence, so here is the workflow that actually moves networks and regulators: what to capture, where to send it, and how to preserve the ad and its landing page before they disappear.
Trademark abuse rarely hides in the ad copy; it hides in the creative, the real advertiser behind the reseller name, and the landing page after the click, so here is how brand teams capture evidence that survives a takedown or a legal review.
