Description
I had a person call me from "Google" saying they would help get my business page to the top of the google search list my improving my SEO etc. She transferred me to her manager named Naban Wolfe who gave me the spiel on what they could help me with and offered me a life time opportunity to improve my google rating for 399.00 CAD. I said no at the time since I didn't have time to give them my CC. Called me back multiple times per day until I finally agreed to it. I figured I could use the help getting more people to my website. He did this thing where he would text me a verification code to my phone to ensure that this wasn't scam ha! and also gave me his contact info and name if I should need anything from him, I was given at Google Business Number and a confirmation code after he had processed the CC. After all of this he emailed me with information and the website came up as suspicion and then I looked up that Google would never ask for my CC over the phone. I tried to call back with the contact he gave me and no answer. I tried calling from another number and he called back right away. I said he wasn't from Google and he insisted he was and I asked for my money back and the transaction be reversed or cancelled. He said he accounting department would get back to me. Big surprise they never did.
