Is a seized electronics auction site a scam?
There are ways around the Google ads vetting process. You could, for instance, have a legitimate page accepted and then just copy the code, as Google encourages you to do: The code on the Ad layout code and Search code pages is valid for any page in any site on which you want to display Google ads. Simply add the code to your page source, and we’ll automatically detect the new site and display relevant ads. Please note that there is no need to open additional accounts or to notify us when you have placed the ad code or search code on a new site. So even that’s not suggestive of legitimacy.
