I did use search in google and bing for wasabi . The first link was matched by both search engines. So I downloaded it . But then thankfully my antivirus on windows 11 displayed some kind of warning, which made me suspicious something is not right. So I searched with safari and got legitimate link this time. Let the antivirus to remove the first wasabi malware installation from computer, which took some time.
The question is why Google and Bing displaying fake wallet link as the first result? and I don’t think it was an advertisement

Just checked again on bing and google, on the first page lots of fake wasabi wallets.
wasabiwallet.in ,wasabiwallet.us.com , wasabiwalet.eu and most likely the links after enough complaints from screwed people will get removed and reappear again

I just searched for this on Google, Brave and DuckDuckGo.
wasabi wallet
My first result everywhere was wasabiwallet.io, which I assume is the correct site.
But on DuckDuckGo, the 6th result was wasabiwallet.in. I assume that's the fake wallet. Looks pretty plausible.
It would be interesting to know why, for you, it was the first result. Scary.

Sounds like changing browsers fixed it. Perhaps the call is coming from inside the house and you have a rogue chrome plugin of some sort.
I would recommend referencing https://binarywatch.org/ possibly in safe mode or another browser until you figure out where the url is getting corrupted.

No plugins on chrome ,except Kaspersky antivirus. Kaspersky green-checked fake links as legit(it means it was downloaded a lot by other people). Those fake links are coming from search engines. Be careful downloading any software without referencing other places, it looks totally identical
