This is why I always skip sponsored links. Even if the domain is correct, I still skip those sponsored links. Moreover, I use an ad blocker, due to which sponsored links do not appear in your Google search.

And thus, the most common scams through sponsored links were through the support team of Amazon or Microsoft. The scammers would arrange their links in such a way that it looked like they were really Amazon or Microsoft or Apple support links.

So i think the best approach is to always skip sponsor link..
