I think this article should be deleted.
In the first ten pages of google search results for the term 'scad', I have found nothing about scam ads. As far as I can see, the only source for the term is the website of the Alliance Against Bait and Click, a defunct body whose website is also defunct, and now only exists in internet archives. It looks as if they've invented the term to promote their campaign. AABC itself is apparently not notable, and probably never has been. There are no citations in the existing article that show the term being used by anyone, other than AABC. I seriously doubt that anyone searches for the term 'scad' expecting to be delivered to an article like this one.
There are scores (well, 'scads') or articles about various kinds of spam and internet abuse. If this subject-matter doesn't already replicate content in one of those articles, there may be something in this article that could be merged elsewhere.
I don't want to delete it myself, because it's been around since 2009, and no-one has tried to delete it or nominated it in those nine years; I think it should be discussed, at least a bit. MrDemeanour (talk) 16:41, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
