Watch for any unsolicited call claiming Google Map issues and demanding payment. Scammers often use urgency, fake tech support lingo, and a thick accent to pressure small businesses. Verify by logging into your Google My Business account directly—never share login details or send money over the phone. Report the number to your carrier and to local fraud bureaus; blocking the caller can reduce repeat hits. Remember, Google never charges to "secure" a listing or send a technician. Stay skeptical and keep your account credentials offline.
These scammers have been calling me for four years now, telling me to do this and that to 'secure' my acount. I'm like, 'Dude, I'm not falling for it!' Every time they call, I just troll them and tell them I'm reporting them to the autorities.
They're trying to pass themselves off as Google employees - don't beleive it!

C'est vraiment trop ! J'ai recu un appel de quelqu'un qui se faisait passer pour un employe de Google. Il m'a dit que mon site web etait fabuleux et qu'il voulait m'aider a le promouvoir. Mais quand il a demande que je lui donne mon numero de carte bancaire, j'ai refuse et j'ai decide de verifier sur internet avant de prendre une desision.
They'll tell you your company's website is 'fabulous' - yeah, rite. Just a ploy to get you to let your gaurd down.
They compliment your company's website, but it's just a scam... - Eric

I've recieved multiple calls from these scammers claiming to be from Google, wanting me to pay 'feez' to secure my buisness's Google listing. Today's call was from 1-929-526-4398. Be warey, folks!
Two years ago, I got a call from an other number claiming someone wanted to take over my buisness's website. Same MO, different day. These scammers need to get a new playbook.

Another Google scam! Two years ago, I got a call from a different number saying someone was trying to claim my buisness's website... - Brian
Quand est-ce qu'ils vont arriter de nous harceler ? J'ai recu des appels de ces escrocs tous les jours. Ils demandent toujours la meme chose : mon numero de carte bancaire.
Will these scammers ever get caught? It's like they're above the law or somthing.
When will they catch these scammers?! - Tom
Stop botherin me!
Another waste of time. Not sure who it is, but I don't appreciate the call.
I'm not sure what this number is about, but it's definitely not legit. Be careful, everyone!
