I am being bombarded with robo calls from a "Google representative" robot that starts off with "Please don't hang up..." I hang up at that point and block the number. I don't like big tech, specifically Google and want nothing to do with them.
Some customer called earlier today and said he googled my company name and Google says I'm 'permanently closed.'
The robo call just now called me again and this time I waited until a live person clicked in. I asked him what right does Google have to say I'm permanently closed and not in business. He said for a one time "verification fee" to verify I'm still in business and to advertise my business with pictures blah, blah, they would quit saying that.
So I asked him, I have to pay you a fee to get you to quit lying about me? Thats extortion. I told him I don't use Google for my search engine, my business is none of Google's business and because I don't want to create joinder and pay to advertise with them they're going and say I'm not in business?
He said "Yes, unfortunately it is what it is."
I told him I wasn't going to pay to not be slandered by them and hung up.
Am I wrong for being pissed?
