Beware of search algorithm that puts what one wants on top

[question everything]

Time to renew car registration and decided to do it online. The notice gave the address of drive.mn.gov

I searched for it and it did list what I thought as Minnesota site.

I should have looked at the url, not the name. The site belongs to amvsonline.

I did not realize it, though was taken a back when the default for state was... California. Searched again yet the page looked different.

Still, I entered the plate number last digits of the VIN. I went ahead and entered my debit card info. Thankfully, "there was an error, please enter again." Then I saw the small prints, I was going to be charged 50c to continue. Worse, I would be charged $10.95 a month! for their services and I quickly got out of it. No charge yet on my bank account but will check again every day.

Still, the real site was the fifth or so listed.

Funny, I cannot ever replicate it now. I don't know what I did wrong.
