I don't understand. Is Cringley really so clueless that he believes these calls are actually from Google?
Of course not, he's an adult human who lives in the U.S., speaks English, and has a telephone. He's been around this block before.
So what axe is he grinding by posting this silly faux rant? He doesn't like Google. Ok, many reasonable people don't.
But he might as well be on Google's PR payroll for this one -- anyone who can fog a mirror will dismiss these shrill accusations and disregard the accuser, which imparts some credibility to the accused.
So, wtf?
- explorigin 11y agoSo he's assuming they are from Google (because they say that they are). Do you have some inside knowledge that these calls are not actually from Google? Several commenters take your position but at least one strongly does not.
- dekhn 11y agoThese are known scams. Google does not call businesses telling them to sign up so they can remain indexed.
