it was fwd to another website.

e.g.:

The bad ad appeared at the very top of the search result for anyone searching for the internet retail giant -- even above the legitimate search result for Amazon.com. Anyone who clicked on the ad was sent to a page that tried to trick the user into calling a number for fear that their computer was infected with malware -- and not sent to Amazon.com as they would have hoped.

The page presents itself as an official Apple or Windows support page, depending on the type of computer you're visiting the page from.

An analysis of the webpage's code showed that anyone trying to dismiss the popup box on the page would likely trigger the browser expanding to full-screen, giving the appearance of ransomware.

Seeing a Google Ad at the top of search results is pretty commonplace these days. Most users are used to seeing a Google Ad or three before seeing the actual search result they requested. Companies like Amazon, Target, Walmart, and others pay for Google Ads to get more visibility. But sometimes some nefarious actors are able to get into that top slot of your Google search and that’s not a good thing.

According to CNET, on Thursday, users doing a search on “Amazon” were shown a Google Ad for what appeared to be the official Amazon site. It turns out that the ad was fake and redirected them to a fake support site posing as Microsoft’s support team with a message saying the computer was infected with malware.
