There’s quite a few of these around (thousands) that will phish for your details and fool you into ID theft. Be careful.

Link just forwards to Google for me.
A good thing to note for next time is that the company name is wrong, it has an ‘s’ on the end. Then secondly it has .xyz that follows it. This generally isn’t normal - I’d be expecting .co.uk or .com 
I think it does that cause I reported it but could u do me a favour Ordog
It depends on what the favor is 
but sure, ask away

They programmed it that a used session ID gets forwarded to Google, probably to help mitigate spam reports by users.

Yeah no problem.
Results may vary per person and I have an ad blocker so I won’t see paid for ads at the top. Here is a screenshot:
see when I type that in that aint what comes up on my screen what comes up is a link to my Vodafone but using that site I uploaded
Does it come up as an advertisement?
Vodafones .xyz
Coz 1 Vodafone isn’t enough
Can you post a screenshot of what you see and that will tell us if it is paid for like @kolok suggested?
I cant im on my laptop and it says ad next to it but then says Vodafone uk
ive noticed it only shows up on Microsoft edge it don’t show up on chrome
There should be an option to report the advert, see if there’s an ‘i’ or little ∆ next to the word ad.
Yep you’re right.
The domain that is listed in the results forwards to the .xyz domain that the OP listed. When I visit the site though, my free AVG antivirus software blocks it. Don’t you have any antivirus or firewall software setup on your computer?
