I have a few minutes ago taken a call from a chap who claimed he worked for Google. His first words were 'this is not a sales related call' and can I speak to the person that deals with the sponsored link on google. He started to explain that my site was unreachable for a while this morning (something I was aware of and an issue with my host) and that they would be crediting x number of clicks back to my account. He was aware of the keywords I used and he was pretty much on the money 1 or 2 adrift of the number of clicks that had accrued this morning. He then offered me unlimited clicks with a guarantee of position 1 to 7 for a payment of around £85 per month (this is actually quite a bit less than I spend at the moment). Clearly at this point my suspicions are aroused. Why would google offer me a better service for something I am already paying more for at the moment. I explained that I knew how the system worked and that my position was referenced by the quality score of the keyword and that I was not aware of any system that guaranteed placement for a monthly fixed fee. I then asked him to email me details of the offer and terminated the call. The call originated from Preston in Northern England not too far away from where I am and he seemed to have very good knowledge of the industry sector I am in. He also mentioned only a very limited number of businesses in my sector would be offered this opportunity. Clearly the old adage if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is applies. Has anyone ever heard of google making an offer along the lines as above. Indeed I thought there only presence in the British Isles was in Ireland so whay are they calling me from Preston? Any other theories?
This is 100% not an offer from Google and you should probrably report the phone number to Google. It is extremely strange though and if it is somebody trying to scam you it sounds pretty elaborate...
Someone is a really good scammer or a google worker has gone crazy,but all that sounds really weird.I have never heard for something similar to this. I would report this to google.
well some one from ur site who is got ur info,but dont forget some times google make offer for hosting for Vouchers but not like that ,lmao
