Scam Adverts

Recently I keep seeing adverts with the Boots logo on, for things that Boots don’t sell.
Then today, several versions of this one popped up, claiming to be M&S. One was an outfit that looked good, so I went to my M&S account to look for it, but it’s not there.
Then there was the image below.
Why don’t firms do something about it?

The clue that it’s fake is there for all to see. No head

Interesting-I hadn’t noticed that, but some of the adverts included heads.

I could also argue that the Boots ones were obviously AI, but I wonder why the firms don't stop them?

I’ve noticed a lot of these on YouTube lately, I saw one from a fake M&S site yesterday. I’m surprised they haven’t been banned because they are so misleading.
