What can you expect from Google?
A company so big still doesn't have any mechanism to stop spam from appearing on their search algorithm. They also cannot stop scammers to advertise on their search page. Unless the community reports that advert will appear as soon someone enters a specific keywords. This why it is always advised to not click on ads that appear on the search page.

It seems that I have to reduce the level of trust in using Google as a medium for finding information because Google seems to only focus on making profits.
Their algorithm seems to have gone a long way in presenting really good information to users and paying less attention to scammers.
Hopefully, Google still pays attention to this and provides updates to its search engine so that scammer websites like @OP will not develop anymore.
But it seems that scammers will find other ways to deceive other people and we have to be careful in finding the information we want.

Google does not care if advertisements or phishing sites appear on their site because they allow bad advertising and are only interested in making a profit. This is why utilizing a browser extension like uBlockOrigin[1] to avoid accidently entering shady ads would be quite beneficial.

Another option is to use Firefox with DuckDuckGo as your search engine with UblockOrigin installed instead of the Google browser. The only trade-off is that, as compared to using Google, it may limit some of the search results.

With the OP airdrop surely this will be a new scheme for scammers. Many users were gonna received airdrops and likely they will try to do google search and see if they are eligible. Obviously they will connect wallet to check it ans once they do then thats it. Scammers will likely take advantage of this, as many rushes to get their Op tokens to sell.

Some scammers will likely almost copied or identical dapp for this so make sure that you are visiting from their official site and not just a copy cat website.

Op drop has arrived and scammers too.



Never rely on Google links, specially ads. Trust only official links, even then be cautious because official communication channels can and do get hacked.
