It sounds like you've been getting some shady calls. The caller, who introduces themselves as "John," claims to be a Google advertising specialist, but it's likely a scam. They say they need to update your business information on Google, threatening that your customers won't find you if you don't comply. However, the company they claim to work for, "SEO Services," doesn’t seem to exist. This is a common tactic to trick people into giving out personal or business information. If you get these calls, **don't Share Any Information ** and ** Hang Up ** immediately. It’s also a good idea to report these numbers to the FTC at **DoNotCall.gov ** to help Combat These Scams.
As a general rule, I do not answer calls from unknown numbers, instead opting to listen to any potential voicemail and return the call if necessary
Despite being on the do-not-call list, I received a call from a telemarketer.
A recorded call informed me that my business's Google information needed updating, warning that failing to do so would prevent customers from finding me, and upon speaking to a representative who claimed to be from 'SEO Services', I became skeptical, especially after they hung up when I questioned their company's legitimacy, as a genuine SEO service should have a verifiable presence on Google.
Another call was received from a purported Google spamming service, with the caller identifying themselves as 'John' and claiming to be an advertising specialist, but the call appeared to be an auto-recorded message.
