From Google's "Avoid and report Google scams" page:
Watch out for parties calling and selling services claiming to have a special relationship with or claiming to be Google. Often, these parties are telemarketers that are not affiliated with Google and are trying to leverage the Google brand to sell your business some type of online service. Keep in the mind the following:
Google does not place robocalls.
Google does not call to "update your front page listing" or ask you to "claim your free website."
Google does not charge for inclusion in Google Search or Google My Business.
Another [***] with an auto-dialer. This one lies and claims "your Google listing is only 50% completed". Nope, sorry [***], mine is complete. Your pathetic attempts to con me failed just like everything else in your pathetic life that left you begging for work by lying.
