Every single day—no exaggeration—I get 1 to 3 of these annoying robo calls talking about: “You need to verify your Google listing… your business is not showing correctly… press 2 to speak to an agent…” Like WHAT are y’all even talking about??

I’ve been getting these calls since I started my business back in 2019. Same script, same robotic voice, same fake urgency like my whole business about to disappear off Google in 5 minutes. And they really be trying to sound official too, like they working with Google or something. Whole time it’s a scam. And don’t let that “press 2 to be removed” fool you either… you press something and it just makes it worse. Now they KNOW your number active. Congratulations, you just signed up for MORE calls 🤦🏽‍♀️

What really gets me is I put my number on the National Do Not Call Registry thinking okay cool, that should slow it down… NOPE. Didn’t do nothing. These people just rotate numbers like outfits. One day it’s a local number, next day it’s from a whole different state. You block one, here come three more.

And the crazy part? They always mention Google listings like small business owners don’t already know how important that is. They targeting us on purpose because they know we care about visibility. It’s slick, but it’s also dirty. At this point I don’t even answer unknown numbers unless I’m expecting a call. And that’s sad because what if it’s an actual customer? Now REAL business might get missed because of these spam callers blowing up the line all day. Honestly it should be illegal on a higher level. Like real consequences. Not no slap on the wrist. Anybody else dealing with this?? Or is it just me getting harassed like this every single day??
