"That's why in the coming months, we will roll out a verification program to ensure that only legitimate providers of third-party tech support can use our platform to reach consumers."

While the move to restrict ads will certainly stop people from getting tricked via Google's ads, tech support scams will continue to cause trouble through methods like cold-calling and intrusive pop-ups.
