I noticed that this is happening in the UK the other day. There are firms of lawyers (are they?) creating clones of the free Citizen's Advice service and marketing it via Google Ads. Slimy stuff.

Yeah, the one that caught my Mum recently was a "form filling service" for changing your driving license address. It sucks as it scams money out of people that probably don't have that much in the first place.

Shortly after this she started getting additional scam calls/texts too, although this could be entirely unrelated...

Doubt it - these sorts of companies are very keen on people who are known to be susceptible.
