I'm the first? Well, surely won't be the last. I just received (on my Do-Not-Call state and national listed mobile phone) a call, robo-initiated, the recording which I hung up on saying in a cheerful voice, "Hi, this is Sherrie from Google Advertising". The Caller ID did not mention Google or Sherrie, but a deception: call from the (something) area - maybe Plainview or something similar, with which I'm totally unfamiliar. Weirdly, after blocking and reporting this number as a do-not-call violator (Google being about as big and bad as it gets!), the caller ID no longer displayed the first id (location) but simply says "mobile". They've got great technology, horrid ethics at Google (especially, you'd think, from the "don't do evil" company!) Spam!!

This company probably isn't Google, it is a company that will use google analytics to try to list your business website. They use the word google to get your attention, buy obviously they are not the most ethical bunch. I really doubt google would use a robo-dialer.
My number is on do not call. Same company has called me before. They are reported now. Hopefully it stops soon. 3rd time in a month.
