if you're claiming to be User-Agent: Googlebot, but your IP doesn't seem like it belongs to Google, don't you think it's a clear sign that you're FAKING IT?
The check itself could be implemented for example with ASN or reverse DNS lookup or hard-coding known Google's IP ranges (though that's prone to become stale)
