The FBI page in question[0] (I hope ic3.gov is legit!) says "Before clicking on an advertisement, check the URL to make sure the site is authentic." But on a mobile device nobody knows how to do that. And the URL will be some kind of ad redirect a mile long.

FBI: "Rather than search...type the business’s URL into an internet browser’s address bar..." I'm not sure about this one. Typos easily happen, and it's the typo'd domain that scammers might own. Risky whatever way you go I suppose. For well known businesses I'd rather search and click on organic links than trust my own typing of a URL.

"Use an ad blocking extension". Third time's the charm. Great to see this advice coming from the FBI.

Yeah, it's been a long time outstanding to ban redirects to other domains.
