Scam site links in the "Sponsored·Shop related products"
Yesterday at

I'm noticing an increasing number of questionable sites on the sponsored ads.
I had a weird experience with Onamar.com which appears to be legit, but they had the same item listed at 4 different prices, at 1/4th the retail price. I attempted to make a purchase with 2 different cards, both of which gave me 'card type not accepted" type errors, and it felt off. It appeared to be using a legit Square type system but then I got fraud alerts, and notice from one bank that I'd added Apple pay digital wallet. The purchases didn't go through, but both cards I tried using were attached to phone numbers that aren't mine. I had to freeze both cards just in case, and ended up making the purchase on Amazon.
Any way to limit the Sponsored·Shop related products section so it isn't just preying on the members here?
