It is the law’s job to prevent and stop scams not of the platform that provides the advertising
If I had a printing shop (not sure how is it called in English) should I be the one who checks that what is written on the handouts is legit? Heck no, I don’t have the means for that.

In this case the company selling ad space isn’t the print shop they are the man handing out those handouts. They receive money from the scammers for directing people to these scam websites, money that is the profits of those scams.
(People will understand what you mean if you say printing shop. As a native English speaker I normally hear it said as just print shop, but printing shop works.)
