Telemarketer fakes Google listing boost – avoid the trap!
Summary — +19782248980
Expert Opinion
Imagine a call that pretends Google itself is on the line, only to push a $99‑a‑month ad package. The pattern across reports shows a robotic voice, vague greetings, and a focus on moving a business listing to the front page. Because the scam never leaves a voicemail, the safest move is to let the call go to voicemail, block the number, and report it to the FTC’s Do Not Call registry. Never share account credentials or payment info with unsolicited callers, and double‑check any offers directly on the official Google Ads portal. Stay skeptical and keep your business info private.
