Google Places

If you own a local small business, you may have been called or contacted by another company claiming to be “hired by Google.” They typically let you know that someone is posting either negative feedback about your business or bad links to virus sites.

Then, conveniently enough they offer you a solution for only $97 after they pull the scare tactic!

DON’T FALL FOR THIS. IT’S A SCAM!!

Many times companies like this prey on your ignorance. They are certainly NOT employed by Google so don’t be fooled.

You should report them immediately to the Better Business Bureau and Federal Trade Commission for their illegal and unethical activity.

A few times / week we get emails from subscribers that have had this happen to them so we wanted to pass it along to you.

Stay tuned to our ASN blog for any new developments about this in the future. We’re going to take the lead and start to expose these frauds as they come to our attention.
