We will have to keep an eye out for reincarnations. If it was a successful scam, they will be back.

I believe that it was a reincarnation.
It seems to be there to me. I can understand that the browser I used to check it out may be showing me a cached version but a different browser I hardly ever use went straight to it this morning. It looks like itâs still on line to me.
Yes. The website is still up.
I was referring to the fact that a Google search for âweberâ, webergrills" or âwebergrills.melbourneâ no longer displays the ad for the scam.
I expect that they will not be getting many hits by people actualy entering âhttps://webergrills.melbourne/â

Weber advised me that this scam was reported to them last week and they are endeavouring to have the website shut down.

I Googled âweberâ. âwebergrillsâ and"webergrills.melbourne" yesterday morning, and much to my horror, 2 displayed the scam ad, so I contacted Google once again.
âI reported this disgusting scam to you a few days ago and it was removed.
Not only has returned as paid Google ads in Google searches for âwebergrillsâ and âwebergrills.melbourneâ, but it is also shown as a search result for âwebergrills.melbourneâ.
I am disgusted that it has not only been allowed to be displayed again by your search engine but the problem has been increased.
Kindly shut this scam down ASAP.â
To their credit, Google has removed the scam ads but the search result remains so I have requested that they remove it from their search results.
"I reported this scam to you once again yesterday and I am disappointed to see a Google search for âwebergrills.melbourneâ still produces a search result although thankfully the paid Google ads are now gone.
Can you eliminate this scam from your Google search results."
Hopefully they can do so but it might not be doable.

It looks like it was not doable as the search result still displays but the website no longer does.

There is still something answering to the scam URL
They wonât be scamming anyone with the URL now.
I hope this was not your âmission accomplishedâ claim.
After more than a week, the website is still down except for the claiim âWeâll be back soonâ.
Somewhat reminiscent of what Douglas MacArthur stated after he was ordered to leave the Philipines in 1942, and it took over 2.5 years for him to return.
But perhaps it will be more like George Armstrong Custer who never returned from the Battle of the Little Big Horn.

The scam no longer shows up with a Google search.
A Bing search leads to this.
