That is a dumb move, since they are definitely smarter. They picked a wrong move. The targets of the scammers are the more prominent bloggers, it seems.

While it seems like everyone should know about most of the scams out there, people continue to get trapped by them. Sadly, this will continue until it ceases to be profitable for the scammers at which point they'll move on to the next scam. Quite frankly since it's extortion which is illegal in my country, I'd report it to authorities as well as letting Google know. Reporting’s all fine and dandy, but this amounts to a scam.

Google isn't that stupid to stop their income source too. As if they can really stop others from using Google AdSense. Google isn’t that stupid to stop their income source too.
