They keep saying my listing will be deleted if I don't respond. It's not a business so I can't buy anything.

I get an average of four or five calls a week regarding Google business listings. For each call, I block the sending number, then I get the same message from a new number! It is relentlessly unending.

yes they call every day... it even has a 'remove from call list' option but even that is a scam.

Have this same problem - did you ever find a fix?

Nope. I just keep blocking but new number every other day

We are getting calls at least twice a day. There is no opt out. If you hit 9 (like it says) it hangs up on you. I have waited to speak to a rep and twice I have said can I be taken off the call list and both times separate people have hung up on me. Is this legal?

I am constantly (at least daily) getting calls from different New York numbers claiming to be google wanting to verify my site. I actually AM having problems verifying my site, but I don't believe these calls are from Google. I wish they were, - might be helpful :( It is Google that virtually insisted that I include a phone number on my small business map listing. Last time I was called, I asked "how can I tell you are not spam?" And the guy hung up.

I received a call from "Google and Bing" I thought it was weird because they are 2 different companies. and it said "press 1 to take action if not, google will officially mark your website as closed." I hung up.

Hot dang, you're pretty!
(I promise, this isn't a scam, it's true! Heck, I'll actually give YOU money!)
Lol, jk.... but seriously, I've been getting like 5 calls a day from the same robot.

We have been getting calls from such scammers for many months....LONG before we even had Google e-mails or Google+ page! They always say that our business listings are needing updates and/or about to expire. We are NOT a business! And we have had our UNLISTED # on the National Do-not-call list since day 1!! FED UP!! Never answer phone anymore unless known number.

I feel your pain, Becky!

Sometimes I think the scammers must be targeting the do-not-call list. It's a shame how many people get taken advantage of with their tactics.

I get a few calls a day by scammers, I either do not take the phone, or check the call later from all over US, or listen to them without talking, and have told them off rudly so many times myself when they disconnent the line, but they rethlesly call again on different no. and I think this is the best way to deal with these so called craps, as services. If you wish, I can send you bunch the tel # I have about all these telemarketers. Thanks

Hello,

This just happened to one of my current clients. I met with her, her husband, and son today and pitched an Orange Bundle to upgrade her current program (Google plus, claiming on affiliates/ and 40+ prominent internet sites, website/mob web, superpages.com, Reputation Monitoring). She wanted to discuss it with them and contact other companies who were trying to sell them the same thing.

She called me about 3 hours after meeting with her and said someone from "Google" was offering a program that was $199 start-up fee, $99/mo for the first year, $49 after the first year guarantee for life and it was to guarantee front page listing on Google, Yahoo, & Bing, 7 page Google-optimized website, unlimited clicks, and a daily report. My manager and I told her that this does not sound legit and she trusted us so much that we 3-way called the "Google" guy and he was talking in circles. When he realized we calling him on his bluff and was asking for him to give us our Google account number he then stated he was not a Google employee but is contracted with them. He became so upset he ended up saying he sells 10 of these a day and didn't need their business and disconnected the call (Rude!!) ! Amazing! But the good thing is I was able to build credibility with the client and was glad that she allowed me and my manager to be on the call.

Wow Ryan, that's great that you were able to protect your client that way and expose the scammer. If their services and products were legitimately worthwhile, why would they pretend to be Google? Why wouldn't they want to present themselves honestly?
