That is a common scam. Search engines make money from selling highly-placed search result positions and don't do diligence. They are absolutely the enablers in this situation and should be held responsible.


You can inform Google that you find this practice abominable:

Bottom line:

  • NEVER use a search engine to find a company's support number.
  • ALWAYS start with the company's web page and find their support link there.
