yes this is true I have seen the post of my friends on Facebook and someone already falls into this trick, we should be aware, thank you for bringing this to our attention, this will save a lot of people and will not steal their money, I have there is something that Google can do about this like checking if it's really legit but for now we just have to be very careful, or we are going to suffer in the future.

I'm no longer seeing the ads on Google, they might have taken it down already because users started to report it. However, the fake metamask is still up and we need to report it as well.

I also maintained a list of my own: Metamask phishing site.

And someone has already fallen for it.

And the reports keeps coming.

^^ Yes, that's how it is that you are going to be trap here, it's so unbelievable to hear that someone still falls for this trick with the recent 'improvement' from the recent ruse of this scammers. I already don't know where is the blame here, but I would say that Google has some accountability here here. And I fell sorry for the guy who lost their money again in crypto from this criminals.

I can't believe in today's time people are still falling for Metamask scam. If I remember correctly, three years back there was an app on Google play store which was named Metamask and everyone at that time thought it was a legit app from Metamask untill it was discovered it wasn't. By that time a lot of people lost quite a good amount of their money.

People are still falling for such scams it seems it is veery easy to scam people who are new or have been in crypto sphere as these guys are still ignorant and won't listen to what others have to say.

I have created this thread, AdBlock and UBlock. Perhaps others can revisit it if you hadn't done so.

I agree that the blame should be in both parties, crypto users for not doing their due diligence and just click everything they see in Google search and then Google itself for allowing it in their search engine and placing it on top in page 1, even higher than the original Metamask itself.

So this will continue, for many years until Google will review every applications for their Google ad service.

That is why all legit crypto decentralized or centralized exchange campaign all that time that verify or officials site link before gives any details. They spend lots of money for this campaign too. But still we are not aware we are trust on google search. We have to ask 2nd time before take any action that is this the real one? Though we can't blame google. Because google is working on its ai robot or seo. For us google made this option that anyone can make his business online and reached it to its needy people. But scammer took that chance and the promot their fake business to scam with people. In this reason we have to use our brain smartly. If google take any action like if google make it adds option tricky then problem will be for us those people who is not expert in making adds they face problem and the expert users take a good charge for running add campaign.  If google do this scammer don't have any problem because they are already expert on this they are educated in this matter they can run their campaign easily. I hope all of you understand.
