Classic Google business listing scam, randomly calls numbers to website listings and tries to sell “google business listing optimization” - (805) 666-8456 - dial 1 - to get a TCPA violating scum.

just tried to confirm (805) 666-8456, worked, though longer hold music and they guy hung up on me right away, must be on their list. 
2:28pm EST
These guys are Americans
I asked how the scam was and they said good.
I just swore at them. constantly hanging up.
Okay, using my VOIP Number - Number works. Weird.
I pressed 1. American bitch lady answered, using questions from A never-ending collection of questions to ask your Scammer
She told me her friends would be proud of her for her criminal behaviour, yet still claimed what she was doing was an honest job.

hold music now, but still answering - Just a bit slower right now and I wonder why! It seems like they can’t block callers completely at present!
One yank guy… Didn’t catch his name, yet he threatened to use his own cell phone to continuously call my (VOIP) number - Oh no, shiver my timbers!! Told me he doesn’t know shit because he’s a yank and told me he doesn’t even know what the TCPA is. He seems quite unhappy.
Also ask for “Nathan”, another one of those idiots.

Honestly feel like @yomanmo should create a new scanner for these fraudulent Google Business listing guys.

They are still answering at (805) 666-8456. And they’re still pretty damn mouthy, especially the boys! Perhaps, give them a call.
Playing them a bit of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKYQNtF11eg [WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES - THE DOOBIE BROTHERS] and they don’t seem to like it / Presently trolling them still on and off.

Nobody used to know how to bait them so I think I made a filter to remove them from the scanners, Ill make a new scanner just for them if there is interest.
- Build the Google Listing scanner
- Don’t build it - its clutter

This article is from a few years ago, so the scammers’ methods may have changed since then. Seems like these low-rent Florida boiler room operations are serving as “lead generators” for slightly more “legitimate” independent resellers for Yext. Yext itself, like 99% of internet businesses, is arguably a scam, a rent-seeking wannabe middleman of dubious utility to anyone.
The scam is difficult to bait beyond short-duration calls because the scammer will hang up if they don’t get 1. A business, 2. A Google Business Profile for said business, and 3. A credit card number, all within a few minutes of their answering the phone. Furthermore, one or more of the groups running the scam have stopped taking call-backs entirely. They will only connect to a live scammer/operator when the recipient of the robocall presses a key during the robocall itself. If you call the number back, all you get is an IVR that says “press 1 (or some number) to opt out.”

They just left a voicemail. I’m going to try to call them. I’m actually more interested in finding out who they are than in baiting them. I’m going to see if I can feed them a bad credit card number and see who’s trying to charge it.
Anybody want to have fun with this?
