**Crypto Scam Alert: Google Ad Poses as Sony Blockchain Link**
Heads up, crypto enthusiasts! Scam Sniffer has flagged a sneaky phishing scam involving a Google ad for Sony’s blockchain, Soneium. When users search for "someium," they might see a sponsored link leading to a wallet drainer.
- The ad mimics Soneium’s site but redirects to a malicious page.
- Cointelegraph couldn’t replicate the search results but confirmed the scam’s existence.
- The fake site uses clever techniques to evade Google’s detection.
Soneium, an Ethereum layer 2 blockchain, launched its testnet in August. Be cautious online—phishing scams have stolen over $127 million in Q3 2024 alone. Stay vigilant!
