"This call is from "google" on behalf of a customer shopping at your store. I need to ask a couple of questions and the customer will be able to hear your response." Did not sound AI - our Retail location hung up & we blocked them.

The person on the phone said that they were Google calling on behalf of a customer injuiry. I hung up because I've had this call previously and it had nothing to do with the service our business provides.

FAKE Dealer Services, Complete Auto Care, United Advisors, or Consumer Insurance Association car warranty, insurance, or car payment scam by criminals phoning from the Philippines. This is a fake car warranty extension or car insurance scam by criminals robo-dialing from the Philippines, stealing your credit card number, Social Security number, and personal information. The scam may begin with a pre-recorded message speaking English that is generated using text-to-speech AI translation software to disguise this foreign scam. The initial message may say something like: "I am from vehicle servicing (or dealer processing) to give you one last courtesy call as our records indicate that the factory warranty coverage on your vehicle has expired, is that right?" or "Hi, this is Karen/Abigail/fake-name. I am with Consumer Insurance Association and I am calling about your car insurance payments. How are you doing today?" or "You should have received something in the mail about your car's extended warranty." (fake!) The phone call may also begin with an IVR robot who asks you questions and responds based upon your replies. The scammer may mention an incorrect brand of car that you own because they are often just guessing at car brands to offer you a warranty extension. Another version of this scam has the scammer telling you that they can lower your insurance rates and pretends that they work with Allstate, State Farm, and others. Their scam works its way into asking for your name, address and other personal information, Social Security and credit card numbers. If you decline their fake scam, they sometimes threaten you, saying that you need their fake insurance or else you can be arrested or fined. A third version tells you that your new car is ready to be picked up from the dealer, but you need to purchase their warranty service. A fourth scam run by this Filipino scammer impersonates a debt collector, threatening you for being behind on your car payments and again asking for your credit card number so they can "update your account for the current debt due". About 35% of North America scam calls come from India, 30% from Philippines, 30% from China/Myanmar. Foreign scammers run thousands of fraud, extortion, money laundering scams every day such as posing as a fake pharmacy, fake Social Security officer saying your benefits are suspended, IRS officer collecting on fake unpaid back taxes, debt collector threatening you for fake unpaid bills, fake bank/financial/FedEx/UPS/DHL scams, posing as utility/phone/internet companies, pretending to offer fake health insurance, car warranty, student loan forgiveness, credit card and debt consolidation services, posing as Amazon to falsely say an unauthorized purchase was made to your credit card, posing as Microsoft/Dell/HP/Apple to say your account has been hacked or they detected a virus on your computer, fake "we are refunding your money" or "your account has been auto-debited" scams, fake Google/Alexa listing scams, fake solar panel and home purchase offers, fake fundraisers asking for donations, fake phone surveys, and the scammers try to steal your financial and personal data. Indian scammers often rotate through fake tech support, subscription auto-renewal, and fake pharmacy scams on the same day. Filipino scammers run many loan and tax/debt relief, Social Security and Medicare identity theft, auto/home/health/life insurance, and fake charity donation scams. Scammers use disposable VoIP phone numbers (e.g. MagicJack) and telecom software to spoof fake names and numbers on Caller ID. Scammers spoof thousands of fake 8xx toll-free numbers. CID is useless with scam calls unless the scam asks you to phone them back. CID area codes are never the origin of scam calls since scams use spoofed CID numbers from across the US/Canada, numbers belonging to unsuspecting people, invalid area codes, and fake foreign country CID numbers; e.g. fake women crying "help me" emergency scams spoof Mexico and Middle East CID numbers. Scammers often spoof the actual name and number of businesses such as banks to trick you into thinking the call is valid. How can you avoid being scammed by phone calls? NEVER trust any unsolicited caller who: sells something (most unsolicited calls are scams so your odds of saving money are very poor); asks for your Medicare or Social Security number; offers debt relief, loan services, Medicare assistance (people who are old or desperate in debt often fall for scams); offers a free gift/reward; threatens you with arrest/lawsuit; asks you to access a website, download a file, wire transfer money or buy prepaid debit/gift cards; claims your account is frozen or has suspicious activity; says a subscription is refunded or auto-renewed/auto-debited; and all recorded messages. Recordings are far more likely to be malicious scams and not just telemarketer spam. All unsolicited callers with foreign accents, usually Indian or Filipino, are mostly scams. No other countries are infested with phone room sweatshops filled with criminals. Most Filipino scammers speak better English than Indian scammers. Filipinos speak English with a subtle accent that may sound Hispanic. To hide their foreign origin, some India scammers use non-Indians in their phone room. Scams often falsely say that you previously contacted them or visited their website. Indian scammers play fake Amazon recordings. Amazon account updates are emailed, not robo-dialed. Many banks use automated fraud alert calls to confirm a suspicious purchase, but always call the number printed on your credit card to verify if the fraud alert is real or fake. Scammers impersonate phone/cable/internet companies, offering fake discounts or service upgrades. Indians impersonate the IRS and Social Security Administration. The IRS/SSA never make unsolicited calls and never threaten to arrest you; they initiate contact via postal mail. Real lawsuits are not phoned in, especially not using recorded threats lacking details; legal notices are mailed/couriered. The police, FBI, DEA never phone to threaten arrest; they show up in person with a warrant. Scammers try to gain your trust by saying your name when they call; your name, address, birthday are public data. Many scammers, especially female Filipinas, use "romance scam" tactics of sounding really friendly as if they are your best friend or lover to try to gain your affection and trust, hoping that you let your guard down so they can easily steal your identity and money. Scammers often play recordings speaking English, Spanish, or Chinese that is easily generated using text-to-speech translation AI software to disguise the origin of their overseas phone room. Some speech synthesis sound robotic, but most AI speech sound very realistic. Scammers often use interactive voice response (IVR) AI/NLP software that combines voice recognition with artificial intelligence, speaks English with American voices, and responds based on your replies. IVR calls begin with: "This is fake_name, I am a fake_job_title on a recorded line, can you hear me okay?"; or "Hi, how are you doing today?"; or "Hello? Are you there?"; or "Hi, may I speak to your_name?" IVR quickly asks you a short question to elicit a yes/no reply so it hangs up if it encounters voicemail. One myth is that saying "yes" to IVR lets scammers use your voice sample for other scams. IVR understands basic replies and yes/no answers. To test for IVR, ask "How is the weather there?" since IVR cannot answer complex questions. IVR usually transfers you to the scammer, but some scams entirely use IVR with the robot asking for your credit card or SSN. Phone/email scams share two common traits: the CID name/number and the "From:" header on emails are easily faked, and the intent of scam calls is malicious just as file attachments and website links on scam emails are harmful. Scams snowball for many victims. If your personal/financial data are stolen, either by being scammed, visiting a malicious website, or by a previous data breach of a business server that stores your data, then your data gets sold by scammers on the dark web who will see you as fresh meat and prey on you even more. This is why some receive 40+ scam calls everyday while others get only 0 to 2 calls per week. If you provide your personal data to a phone scammer, lured by 80%-discounted fake drugs or fake loan and debt services, you receive even more phone scams and identity theft can take years to repair. Scammers often shout profanities at you. Google "Hindi swear words" and memorize some favorites, e.g. call him "Randi Ka Beta" (son of whore) or call her "Randi Ka Betty" (daughter of whore). Scammers ignore the National Do-Not-Call Registry. Asking scammers to stop calling is useless. Scam recordings often tell you to press a keypad number to be placed on their Do-Not-Call list or to unsubscribe from their scam texts/emails, but those keypad commands are fake and they say that just to sound legit. Scammers often provide a toll-free callback number to look like a real business, but they regularly shed old callback numbers so you can never reach the scammers once you have realized that you were scammed. Scammers tell you their callback number just to gain your trust long enough to steal your identity and money and then they frequently switch to using new callback numbers. You do these scammers a favor by quickly hanging up. YOU SHOULD SCAMBAIT ALL SCAMMERS - slowly drag scammers along on the phone call, provide fake personal and financial data (16 random digits starting with 4 for Visa, 5 for MasterCard), ask them to speak louder and repeat what they said to waste their time and energy.

Called the business I work at 12+ times. I answered the first one and the automated voice came on, then I hung up. They immediately called back, then kept trying for over half an hour. I lost count when customers came into the store, but I had to unhook the phones because they kept repeatedly trying to call.

December 5, 2025

just called me about my automotive service also. I kept trying to get verification if it was really Google or not. and it just kept saying just google "google automated service". I'm still unsure if it was actually google. Wasn't a sales call or didn't ask for my personal info. The only reason I believe it wasn't google is it was lying about a person that wanted a price and availability. When in actuality there wasn't a person that wanted that info. If it was google i think they would just ask if my hours of operation are still the same and if im still open for business.

"Google Services calling on behalf of a customer who wants to know how much it would cost to diagnose and engine problem on a 2011 Honda Accord." Apparently this is AI and not a human calling. I said the customer can call us direct and hung up.
