YouTube is advertising a robotic chessboard scam

Hacker News

When browsing on youtube I found an ad for a robotic chessboard that was too good to be true. After some research I found it was a clear scam. This is the google ad link: https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=CJnBz6QblZKWmA9yI6MEPsoyM4Artjs-_crTMqtrzEbCQHxABIABg_QKCARdjYS1wdWItNjIxOTgxMTc0NzA0OTM3MaABm7zc7AKoAwSqBNYBT9AwZYcIX6FmQiwfb8XO0fiMR63x3461UlmgKbkykA3jFGZC2coI4EYALlbyZajtBDqhzW8KYovAGD96EChdIn_uTQkuCu4OKG3P4lWXfGJNTKE6mABmAIcbUb4Ax5TjRDiWOsPyaMl1ZVODeAGTNXYpk7ONgy6w6DMWRsRA-ecGRISP-_57e9KLHtnadBtU2afmOSq8BN9seuGaGiLlf9cta1Wh5n0Zqm9lI2X35FzhxN8Rr2GaTZ6atavzelVD0SlWBz3dqijAWRQ4AGsH7B6jPcQDH5IFDAgSMNnEuaib4oKNJpIFCggTaAF4uobCkwGgBlWAB83Do5MBiAcBkAcCqAfnnbECqAfonbECqAfvtbECqAfwtbECqAeCqrECqAeECKgHqNIbqAe2B6gHsdwbqAekmrECqAeRn7ECqAewm7ECqAffobECqAemqrECqAf_rLECqAeBxhuoB_yvsQKoB9XOG6gHq8UbqAeVCKgHnNwbqAfmnbECqAfIn7ECqAe3obECkggLSmhvTEViVU9ZbGuoCAHSCCAIgICAEBACGFoyBKCAgAI6CI_QgICAgIQISNmg0jVQFLEJpsebwCSewlrICRfICY8ByAmQAcgJwgGYCwG6C1IIAhAFGAUgBygBMANAAUgAWAlgAGgAcAGIAQCYAQGiASIKAiAD0AEBqAIFsgISCAMQARoMCPupsJkGELe8vpQDwAICqAEB2AEBgAIBiAIFuAIA0AsSmg0BErgT____________AbAUAsAVgYCAQNAVAdgVAeIWAggBgBcBihcWCAMYASABKAEwATgBQAFIAVABWAFgAqAXAakX70WjLJzAzmy6FwQoADAA&num=1&cid=CAESD-D2dnq4CTEKYG9_BHzl1g&ad_cpn=%5BCPN%5D&sig=AOD64_2vfua1_UJ2Dgo1zsJT6sUnQ0QQ8w&ms=[CLICK_MS]&adurl=https://technicrealm.com/products/the-robotic-chessboard-made-of-real-wood%3Fvariant%3D47003969061212&ctype=110&video_id=JhoLEbUOYlk&label=video_click_to_advertiser_site&nb=[NB]&nx=[NX]&ny=[NY]&dim=[DIM]
