Default Google and Bing phone calls, Real?

I keep getting automated phone calls from Google, Google Plus and Bing
to update my listing "or I will be deleted" I never respond, as they
sound like scams to me. ANyone ever talk to these people? Is it a
scam?


Oh yeah, I was going to post on the same thing.
I been getting these calls for months, and finally partially bit, took the
call. The first guy was actually a bit helpful, ito classifications, etc.
But then determined that I needed to talk to a "specialist".... ok,
a'ight.....

Man, did dat specialist pound the **** out of me.
And the funny thing was, it was never clear just WHAT they were going to
list!! Me, my company, product....

They wanted $395/mo for google page placement optimization, plain old garden
variety SEO, promising all kinds of ****, but had a "special" going for
$149/mo, which would then drop to $79/mo after 6 mos....

Man, did that strident high-pitched asshole pound me..... and you could
hear the "boiler room" chatter in the background. As someone pointed out,
it is certain that these assholes are not related to google.

He's gonna call me back in a month, to see if I'm ready....

Don't get pounded or hustled.
