No hpuse, you state google are keen to hear about these copycat sites from us the consumer, back up your claim where they have said this and hence the link to report this to google as your post with the link included implies you got this from an official source
Yes, Google are keen. That is because they work with the government authorites to tackle copycat penetration via search engines. So they are keen to hear from customers too.0 -

You made your post that they have made this statement trying to give it some sort of legitimacy by posting a link to contact them, that is how I and others will see itGoogle remains very keen to hear from people who feel misled after clicking on adverts B]context: government copycat websites[/B appearing above their search results. This will help them remove such adverts as quickly as possible.
