You search for your bank, and the first result looks right.

2
00:00:04,945 --> 00:00:09,441
But it is an advert, and anyone can buy one.

00:00:09,441 --> 00:00:18,434
The Federal Bureau of Investigation warns that criminals buy search adverts that copy real businesses and lead to fake sites.

00:00:18,434 --> 00:00:22,930
Look for the words Sponsored or Ad above the result.

5
00:00:22,930 --> 00:00:29,674
Paste the advert's text into Advert Check at UtilForge.org and tick what you can see.

6
00:00:29,674 --> 00:00:36,868
It names the warning signs, such as a web address that is not the company's own.

00:00:36,868 --> 00:00:40,015
The check runs on your own phone.

8
00:00:40,015 --> 00:00:44,511
Scroll past the adverts, or type the address you know.
