That's for that kind of things I don't trust Google anymore.
Personnal experience : my landowner wanted me to buy a pair of MBT shoes and found a site named mbtsolde.com (equivalent in english to mbtsales) which offered mbt shoes at high discount. Upon payment, the site proposed no paypal or the usual gateways present on french/belgian e-commerce but instead only traditional credit card (mastercard and the like).
I signified to my land owner I didn't trust the site, adding paypal was a good indication about the trust you could grant to an e-commerce. After further searching, I discovered MBT shoes were subject to scams by chinese companies impersonnating specialised MBT stores and that the issues was nearly ten years old.
For privacy concern I don't use (or rarely) google anymore directly and use instead searx, a open source metasearch engine providing anonymized results of a hundred classic and specialized search engine, like yandex, yahoo, bing, qwant, faroo, google, but also torrent site search engine, wikipedia and other specialised sites...
It took me again 2 other searches with words like "fake mbt shoes" and "how to recognize fake mbt ?" to finally find the real official MBT site and its european shop on a subdomain, on a YANDEX search result. The site even inform the visitor it put in place a certification to recognize authentic shoes and get informed of the official local dealer where to buy mbt shoes. On the Google side, most search result were either scam sites, scam blog posts advertizing scam sites pretending to inform visitor about fake MBT shoes and amazon search results about MBT shoes (which has an endemic counterfeit products issue).
