You need to go to the main.php page link to see the fake site. Full link is https://gnu-cash.org/main.php or possibly https://www.gnu-cash.org/main.php
Google ads are location and search history dependent so might not show up everywhere. Google has a separate tool to report phishing sites. But make sure you report the whole URL with the main.php https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en That said the https://gnu-cash.org/main.php doesn't seem to work in incognito mode nor on microsft edge. Only on regular chrome does it open.
