I miss the days when the top result on Google was usually the legitimate information you were searching for. Now the top results are ads, the Knowledge Graph sometimes has misleading info in it, and the "People also ask" snippets appearing before the actual results frequently have inaccurate info in them.

What are these "Call Connection Services" actually offering? Like what's their official reason for existing as a business?

"We give people fake phone numbers to trick them into paying us money on free calls" doesn't sound like a legit business plan.

Back in the day it made sense, before internet existed. You'd call a number and say "connect me to HMRC". Now it's just a leftover
