I have found a fake AdBlock, which uses the AFC "The most popular Chrome extension, with more than 10 million users" tag line (wrong - they only have 2,000) and before / after picture. Can be found here - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-oficial/adbdiiijgodhnmjpnbfcfenppnheoepo?hl=en-GB

Can extension authors report extensions like this?

One can report abuse -- I think I reported this a few weeks ago when a user brought it to my attention.  You can use the "Report Abuse" button under the Details tab to report it as well -- maybe 2 reports will work better than one.

I have reported abuse - but you might want to take a look here:
http://support.google.com/bin/static.py?hl=en-GB&ts=1114905&page=ts.cs
- this is linked to from the CWS Report Abuse page, and is for asking
Google to take down content. CWS is 5th under "See more Products"
(last option on the main list)
