Massive #phishing campaign uses 6,000 sites to impersonate 100 brands
Many of these make it to the top of #Google search "results" by being sponsored - or paid - ads.
Using an adblocker and a more private search alternative, such as Whoogle or SearXING, is ideal.
If not feasible, avoid clicking links in the sponsored section. It's usually best to visit the domain directly, versus using a search engine for it.
