My background is Internet Marketing, SEO, Website Design and consulting. I am considered a professional in these areas.
I received a call from a fake 206 area code number claiming to be VMS Data based out of Phoenix.
As soon as the call came in and the gentleman introduced himself and business name I immediately did a Google search for both the number and the company.
Nothing but horrible reviews came up on BBB, Yelp and Google Business. I read them as I silently listened to the salesperson claiming, "Your Google Business Listing has been FLAGGED for removal".
As a professional internet marketer, I am warning everyone, this is a SCAM.
Google listings are not flagged, repeat, NOT flagged for removal to the point where a telemarketer will call you like this. Doing a simple search for what he said brought up local business professionals like myself who describe the scam.
Folks, do NOT spend money with a company that will charge $300 to do what takes one minute to do, simply login to your Google My Business Account and Edit your profile, take a minute to do that and you will be in good shape.
I cannot stand the deception. This company rates as an F by the BBB:

Some of the keypoints I noticed:
Fake number - 206 area code that, if you try to call back is disconnected
Lie about flagged Google Business Listing
Rushed salesman, didn't sound personable at all, as if I was his 300th call for the day.
