Who called from 4252509290

Got a call from 425-250-9290 which was initially a robocall saying my Google Business Listing was about to be deleted and to Press 1. Then I got a person who claimed the company, Bizmote, had a contract with Google to update listings. When I told him my business was verified and claimed, he hung up. So of course, I called them back...

The next guy told me that even though now he could miraculously find my listing, the business 'claim' was old and about to expire. They would fix that for me for a cost. GOOGLE DOES NOT CHARGE FOR BUSINESS LISTINGS. I told him no and that was that. Good day to you sir.

This is quote is directly from Google's website "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."

Scam caller.  Robocall telling me not to hang up and then going on about a Google business listing.  I hung up before they could go on.  Our office is in the (425) area code in Washington state, and I can say that it looks like the scammers are getting savvier.  Several tech companies have offices nearby, and the area code may have people thinking it's legitimate.

Call from 425-250-9290 with dead air.  I hung up on them.

Thanks, this information was very helpful.

This number keeps calling me without leaving a message so I looked up and found the postings above. Thanks a lot for sharing, it helps sorting out unwanted calls!
