Scam Aldi advert

Impersonation Aldi web
Scamalot Advice

These parasites buy ads using legitimate brand names to hijack your search results — you'll spot them if you check the URL carefully before clicking. Always type the retailer's address directly into your browser rather than trusting what appears at the top of Google.

Stop and think before you act. If something feels urgent, threatening, or too good to be true — that urgency is the weapon. Scammers use pressure to override your judgement. Nothing is ever so urgent that you can't take five minutes to check, call back on a number you found yourself, or ask someone you trust.

What's happening

A fraudulent advert appearing on Google impersonates Aldi and leads to a copycat website.
