Malwarebytes documents a widespread utility-bill phone scam delivered through fraudulent, geolocated mobile Google search ads (over 300 ads from ~28 advertisers). The campaign prompts victims to call provided numbers, sometimes redirects to convincing but fake sites, and lists many phone numbers and domains as indicators while advising users and reporting providers to take action.
