Google pop ups

I've been in debate with Rugseller.co.uk about Google pop ups that offer discounts of up to 70% on their rugs. They say that they only offer 10% discounts and that the pop ups are automated by Google, over which they have no control. A couple of examples are attached. Is it worth a MSE campaign to end this misleading advertising?

From what you say, it sounds like the advertising is illegal - so there probably isn't anything to campaign for.
Instead you can complain to the Advertising Standards Authority: https://www.asa.org.uk/make-a-complaint.html
Or maybe Trading Standards: https://www.tradingstandards.uk/consumers/support-advice0 -
Invest in a decent adblocker and be done with this google thing!0

So has the OP started a campaign or was it in the wrong section .Vent .
