Some of our clients have been receiving fraudulent phone calls from individuals pretending to be from Google, asking for additional information related to their Google My Business listing.
We want to warn you that these calls are scams, and they’re spreading across the U.S. and France.
Just like your bank, Google will never call you to ask for sensitive or confidential information.
If you get a call like this:
- Don’t share any information and don’t follow any instructions
- Help us fight back by forwarding the phone number, date and time of the call, and the number that received it to: contact@soweb.io
To protect yourself: don’t engage in conversation (this is key), simply say your marketing agency handles it, and hang up right away.
Phone scams are getting more and more sophisticated. Don't underestimate these malicious actors.
Fake Domain Name Renewal Emails
Sowebio handles your domain names and renewals automatically. If you get an email that looks like it’s from OVH saying your domain is about to expire, ignore it and mark it as spam.
Fake “Meta” Alerts
Heads up! You might receive fake messages via Messenger claiming to be from Meta (Facebook/Insta), asking you to click a link to “save your account” from permanent deletion. Delete the message immediately and never click the link.
