It's the end of July and well folks, this appears to still be going on. All the embedded online hooks are still floating out there... tempting people looking for work into giving up their credit card numbers. What in the hell is going on in North America that, with the patriot act et all... our governments (Canadian and U.S.) cannot put a stop to this crap? I mean, after doing extensive research, this google scamming is spreading like wildfire. What it people were using the spoofing technology to make threatening calls? Would our governments then take notice? Cause at this point... I can't believe this is still going on. Something must be done!
Received several calls from these people... today they called me again, and I spoke to a lady. She called the company 'GoogleATM' (A Google search indicates they are a scam) wanting to teach me how to make money using Google and eBay.
I told them my phone number was on the Do Not Call list and that they were violating federal law by contacting me. She seemed ignorant of this information and proceeded to give me the sales pitch.
i live in texas and have gotten this call several times on my cell phone. the calls started yesterday. the first time i answered the phone, no one said anything. i'm about to report it with my cell phone carrier. this is so annoying and i hope is not some kind of scam.
Same thing as all. Live in Texas, called 4 times this morning already (It's only 10am). They wanted credit card number of coarse. I was checking into this a little bit. There is a Brand out there called Google ATM, started by a couple that live in Houston. There are many hidden fees and you need couple of thousand dollars to get rolling. Basically it is information of how to put ads on google and then redirect those ads to ebay. Old stuff, with a new face. You don't need their system to do this. $1.95, you get what you pay for! Just be rude and they will stop calling! The Telemarketers are out sourced, and don't have a clue about the product!
I began receiving calls from this number at 7:35, 8:04, 8:57, 10:02, and 11:02. I was gone for a few hours and talked to someone during the last phone call at 11:02. She stated that she was from Google ATM. If I didn't say anything, she said, "Do you hear me?" It was very hard to talk to her because she tried to talk you through to getting the username and password before you could object to anything that she was saying. I was very annoyed. I was finally able to ask a question, "How much will this cost?" She said, "$1.95." I told her that I was not interested and hung up. I hope that they will not call again!
