I received an email with the following offer.

Alina Schatalina wrote: Would you consider adding our script inside your extension and get monthly payments for it? Our script will inject hidden and safe ads inside browser. These ads can't be noticed by user or Chrome Store. For current number of user we will pay you 300 USD each month, and you can still keep extension...

I can't find Google's email address for reporting this to Google. Technically, it's not phishing, or Spam. And if I did that, presumably it would just load into the filters. I think Google might like to investigate this person a bit more.

  • after clicking around the Chrome Web store pages, it seems like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/google-chrome-app would be the place to go – schroeder Sep 25 '17 at 20:23
  • I'm guessing from this page: https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/best_practices – schroeder Sep 25 '17 at 20:23

    By I can't find the email to report it to Google do you mean you don't know google's email address to report it, or you can't find the email from Alina Schatalina. – KareemElashmawy Sep 25 '17 at 20:44
  • @KareemElashmawy I can't find the Google's email address for reporting this to Google. (Have edited to make more clear.) – dteviot Sep 25 '17 at 20:55
  • If you click on "send us feedback" here, a contact form opens. This seems to be the best place as far as I can tell. – Tom K. Sep 26 '17 at 15:03

As a developer of extensions, under your developer console, you should be able to create a ticket in which an internal team might be able to further assist you or escalate this issue. I spoke with one of my coworkers about your question and that was his suggestion. Props goes to Brently for this suggestion. I hope this helps.

  • Thanks, buried in the fine print at the top of the developer desktop page gives the email address "cws-developer-support@google.com" – dteviot Sep 28 '17 at 19:52

    except that none of the options apply to the OP's situation – schroeder Sep 26 '17 at 10:47
  • If I follow the "I want to report a scam, malware or other problems not listed above", then "I want to report something else" I'm get the options of either a Security Tips page or the Google Help Center. – dteviot Sep 26 '17 at 18:06
