Seeing this ad on CarTalk (M&R) is weird.

It says “Every Performance Chip is personally programmed in the United States by a Dyno expert.”

I think the consensus here is that “Your wallet personally flushed” would be more appropriate. I guess there is some kind of cost-of-software imbalance that lets the scammers place the ads on car-related websites, but deters websites from blocking scam ads.
