Interesting HP printer setup scam, needs further research

Scam Number: withheld pending verification
Scammer’s Website or Email: A google search ad for “123 hp com setup”,

advertiser is allegedly the “Oh Secretary Of State Frank Larose” [sic] https://adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/AR11509549232633675777?origin=ata&region=US

(as much as I suspect most capitalist politicians of being crooks, I don’t think that’s actually him)

and links to a spam user profile on the real HP site, About 1-844-449-4989 - HP Support Community


Additional information about this scam: I am unable to verify the toll-free number in the spam profile.

The Google Ad lists a separate toll-free number, which I am also unable to verify

If others are able to verify that the numbers connect to a fake printer scammer, please let me know.

I have been told to tag @T-Rex in all posts about toll-free numbers.

Number has been shut down by Google

Do you mean the second one (888… with the QR code)?

Lots of suspicious ads listed here…
