get this call weekly, no one there usually, when there is it is google trying to sell me a subscription, they must be tied in with yelp and angies list because they all started calling the same day months ago. Now, if I'm not mistaken, aren't they all customer referral forums? - supposed to be unbiased? they all say that for a $1,000.00 a year "subscription" they will make your business the most viewed and non subscribers less viewed. I am also told buy a business promotion company that if you make them mad, that they will make any negative customer comments about you come up first. Sooo, even after you tell them shame on you, and your not interested, they still call weekly - sometimes as much as 3 in a day from same one.
This call has a recorded message that is misleading in that it gives the impression that the call is from google. When I asked how I knew the call was from google, the woman admitted she wasn't with google but said they were "google certified partner". Apparently she was going to update my listing with google, even though I've had two other similar calls within the last couple of weeks. She avoided giving me her business name until I pressed her for it. She said it was Brand Locally. I then asked if the point of the call was to try to sell me a service and she said "Yes if you want us to help you." At this point I expressed my anger about the fraudulent nature of the call and she hung up on me. I have no idea if this is a legitimate business call or just someone phishing for my credit card info.
Many of these calls have a system that does not connect to a person until you say "hello" or something else. I now pick up the phone and say nothing, after 10 seconds, the call disconnects.
