When you type in what you think is the URL for the Volvo US site and end up getting led to a “virus warning alert” scam.

Which genius decided that people who look for Volvos will easily fall for scams?

Have a non-scam Polestar V60 for Wagon Wednesday.

According to Kinja, you beat me by 1 minute lol. I don’t know anything about those links and I don’t want to.

I solve the issue by just going through volvo.com every time...

I once typed in forgot the first period in maps.google.ca . It doesn’t take you to Google Maps for Canadians; it’s much worse. I advise you not to visit that site.

I would have expected you misplaced the vowels and ended up with a slightly less work safe website.

Plot twist: OP posted a virus, and we have gotten scammed, by an appealing image of a V60 Polestar

It’s true, but I’m lazy so I didn’t feel like navigating to the US cars page.

If it was a virus then I would have made the headline “Warning: your OS is out of date. Click here to update.”
