Is this cloaking?

Someone took the top spot in the casino keyword for a site called "A.COM".

When I access the site, the advertising site (money site) is exposed to me.

However, after repeating the backward and forward several times, I found that the Fake Page(Pages that restored the archive) was exposed.

I think JCI was used to set the bot to show Fake Page and people to see MoneySite's content. Is that correct?

What I'm curious about here is that Fake Page is a website produced in English, and MoneySite is a Korean site.
How did you get Google crawlers to read Korean content to rank them?

If you access the money site, you can see that there are two scroll bars like this.

If anyone can give me the answer to this please PM me. It would be great to provide the domain, and discuss.
 
Googlebot is pretty good at detecting cloaking these days, but if they're ranking, they're probably using a mix of highly authoritative expired domains + cloaked links + strong CTR manipulation to stay ranked.
 
After you mentioned the domains I did a little more research. Atleast one of those domains were compromised.
 
The thing with this kind of question is you'll be outing whoever is doing it
 
That's a clever trick with the fake page and money site. I'm wondering if they're using hreflang tags incorrectly, potentially confusing Google about the target audience.
 
Maybe they're cloaking, and showing Googlebot the Korean content while users see the English fake page? Tricky stuff.
