Google scam.

Had a Co with a Fl number call me to "classify" and confirm my google business address. So I say ok. I know Google doesn't charge for just registering your business on Google. So he asked a few questions to confirm and I answer and then he slips in ...and that is at the 299 rate etc.  I say hold on there big fella.
Are you saying 299 as in $299.00 he says yes. I say oh, I see, click.

Was that...... "Sharon, you local Google specialist"?

These folks are barely better than the folks who offer (and charge) to apply for a Social Security number for your new-born.
At least the Google thing provides a smidgen of SEO

Google doesn't call people out of the blue. Doesn't happen.  I think every business in the world gets these calls a few times a week.

[Doug B]

  I certainly get them sometimes daily.

Was that...... "Sharon, you local Google specialist"?

LOL.  We get that call every other day..... Always when I am already doing like two things at once too.  I hate Sharon.

[ftembroidery]

She knows you people too???  And here I thought she didn't have anything better to do than call me several times a week.  Suddenly I feel crushed and insecure.

Funny we had some lady call the other day I don't even know what it was all about, my wife took the call and the lady on the other end said she was local and live our city cool, but she pronounce our city name wrong yeah right your from here very close like New York LOL.

My favourite response to these calls is "I don't need any SEO work, but can I interest you in 50 tee shirts?!" Then I try to sell them some tees.

I figure if I can make that sale,  my salesmanship is firing on all cylinders.

I've yet to get that sale... but they seem to be calling less these days!
