Illustrative sample

The bank on this page is invented. This is a demonstration, not a record of a real company.

example-bank.co.uk is a fictional bank with a sample Policy: none record. Its policy is not guidance about a real bank or ad. The scam-reporting routes are real.

Advertiser register

example-bank.co.uk

Policy: none Attested

This domain asserts it runs no paid advertising. Any ad resolving to example-bank.co.uk is presumptively unauthorized.

On a real record, this is where the page tells the reader what to do about it: if an ad is claiming to be the brand right now, do not click it, and reach the company by typing its address yourself.

How to check the ad in front of you

Every ad is bought through an advertiser account, and the platform will show you that account's ID.

  1. On a Google search ad, open the three-dot menu and choose About this advertiser. On Meta, open the Page and check the Ad Library.
  2. Copy the advertiser ID it shows you.
  3. Check that ID against the accounts this brand has authorized. This domain lists no advertiser accounts at all.

So there is nothing for the ID to match, whatever it says: no account is authorized to advertise this bank. On a real record, that is the point where the page tells the reader not to click the ad, and to reach the company by typing its address into the browser instead.

advertisers.txt published at the domain with Policy: none; DNS TXT verification is also on file. A none file is the strongest and simplest anti-scam signal a domain can publish: it lists no accounts, because no one is authorized.

Authorized advertiser accounts

None, by the domain's own assertion. There are no records, and none can be added while the policy is none.

Anything not listed here

This brand's policy is none: absence means unauthorized. Every ad resolving to this domain, on any platform, is unauthorized by definition and treated as presumptively fraudulent.
