They basically want to charge you money to do what you can do on your own.
Opting out is a waste of time. I have tried it. Doesn't work.
All I can do is waste their time. I generally put them on speaker phone and let everyone I happen to be with listen in for a few laughs.
So they want to verify your name and number and you tell them the lines must have gotten crossed and your name is Jessica Rosenworcel or Ajit Pai (those are the current commissioners for the FCC) and your number is 1-888-225-5322(that's the number to the FCC)
And when they ask you to pay, you tell them to send you the bill to:
Jessica Rosenworcel or Ajit Pai
445 12th Street, SW
Washington, DC 20554
You might want to print this up and put it by your phone.

Another thing I do for laughs is I pretend they called me looking for whatever I can think of at the time. I basically asked them once what kind of pizza they wanted. and they said no we are calling you to update your listing to google and I said we have a special this week 2 pizzas for $9.99. And they say, "no you don't understand. We want to update your listing." And I say is this take out or delivery. (Try to act distracted so it's believable.) They get as frustrated as you do when they call you. Payback is a B.
THEY ASK YOU TO CONFIRM YOUR NUMBER, THEN HIT YOU WITH MANY MORE CALLS TO SELL YOU GOOGLE LISTINGS AT THE TOP... THE NUMBER ABOVE IS A BIG FRONT FOR INTERNET PHONE CALL FRAUD ON BEHALF OF GOOGLE, BUT THEY ARE NOT THE GOOGLE PEOPLE... THEY ARE OVERSEAS SCAMMERS FROM CHINA OKAY !!!
