A word of warning: go to the actual site and find the contact details there.

I've seen an attacker change the contact details listed on Google search results (the ones that appear in the boxes) to their own.

I saw it used as part of a Windows help center scam, but I don't see why it wouldn't work here too.

That is what I had meant but not how my wording ended up. Verify the contact info from the vendor/firm's site itself if possible.
