It's the world's most popular search engine, but now scammers are trying to take over Google and the company is cracking down.

In this week's Just Delete It, the internet giant says it's seen an increase in scammers using Google to steal money from consumers.

The company filed a lawsuit to fight one company, Pacific Web Works, saying it's a widespread internet advertising scam.

Experts say it created ads with Google's name and logo prominently displayed to try and get people to click and give personal information.

In cases like these, skepticism may be your best defense.

It's not the first time Pacific Web Works has been sued.

Last month, it was part of a class action suit charging deceptive billing practices.
