Offering to update Google listings for a fee.
This number calls using an automated dialer with a recorded message and no person on the line (this is illegal). The recording states that they are not Google, then asks you to press 1 to speak to a representative and be listed on Google and press 2 to be removed from Google's listings. When you press 1, you eventually get to an operator (after 5 minutes on hold listening to the "music" - the music was silence). The operator hangs up on you if you ask for information other than giving him the information he is asking for. As a caller, they are required to provide their name, the business name, a physical address, and a non-watts line phone number when asked.
This is a scam. Do not provide them with any information, and be sure to report them to the FTC. Whether you're on the do not call list or not, their failure to provide business name, phone number, physical address, and name makes their operation illegal, as does using an automated system to place the call OR (let alone and, as this company does) having a recorded message when the call is answered without having an operator on the line at that time.
