that is the best strategy. Can i also offer if everyone can do their bit and when you get a call like this and have a bit of time available ask them for the whole speel, keep them on the phone for as long as possible. If more and more people can waste their time and resources it costs them money and they make less calls

Just let the number ring out and then jumped on here to see if anyone had received any calls from this number. Glad i didnt answer. Ive blocked the number also

smeggle web blah blah blah..

I tell all IT cold callers our IT department work off site and there is nobody he can talk to here. He asked for the direct number I said no. Then just repeat. IT deparment work off site and there is nobody for him to talk to...

Just had a phone call from this number. As to speak to my company's web designer. They told me my web site was great however google has picked up numerous errors and they are willing to help me correct. Very chatty person and friendly but very hard to understand. Person had a very thick Indian accent (nothing against these people) .
My gut feeling was this call is another cleaver scam so I hung up.

smeagol web - SEO
For all the people out there just a suggestion, I've received many phone calls from many telemarketing organizations and with every call received I simply created a contact list with the title DO NOT ANSWER!!!! I've now collected over 50 numbers and saved them including (03) 8400 4834 and listed them as DO NOT ANSWER!!!! LOL!!!

For months these grubs have been calling me normally i just hang up this time i said f@*k off beforw i hung up the smart bitch rang me straight back asking if i was talking to myself when i said that.

Just got a call from these people. Like many others they told me I had a great website but they found errors and that google was penalising me BUT they could fix them for $150.00. I asked them what was their business name so I could google it and check if they were on top of the google page, otherwise prove to me that they know more than me about websites...like what was my rating according to woorank or other analytical agencies and they just said they are free and couldn't provide the detail that they could. I put the phone down and went back to work, came back 10 minutes later and they had hung up.

Grubs - call numerous times and never leave a mesasge - the best way to deal with these people is to block the number - then they just call none all day which is what we want

Scammers.

Asked to speak to business owner.

Smiggle a 'Google partner' , phoned to inform me that my business web page would be removed as I no longer complied with marketing criteria and that they had found several areas of my web page that had faults. Chatted about how he loved my web page that I made myself (slimy) and if I could log in to my page he was going to show me the problems and HELP me fix them. No Charge but they could help he improve my Google listing if I become a partner in marketing. After having run him is circles for a few minuets told him this was scam marketing he tried to say otherwise. I was not born yesterday. Had enough fun and hung up on him. Surprising good voice clear and excellent English.

Received a call from them to be told they were a google partner about my website having issues. I of course didn't believe them so I hung up and returned the call from a private number. The response was 'Hello?' (very sheepishly). I hung up.
The site has only been live a day and a half!

Scam re SEO and errors on my website. Told them I'm on page 1 of Google an I didn't need their help. They Hung up with a grunt. 😜

Can someone stop these people calling - I am annoyed to a point that if I knew where they are, I would go and smash their phones.

Called and told me I have issues they can fix on my website - it has just been designed and launched about a month ago - so can't imagine how they had data over the last 12 months? Scam.

Calls many times per day, evasive, unhelpful and pushy.

Scam wanting to access admin on my website. Do not listen to them. I tell them if they call me again I will report them as violation to telecommunication act and they will be fined.

Spam/scam caller. Claims to be a google partner company called Smiggle. I ended up hanging up on them when the guy became very rude in response to my questions. Load of crap, told hi if Google wanted to contact me there is no way they'd get some dodgy company to do it.

Received two calls in just under one minute trying to sell me key words for our website.
First call I said not interested and hung up, While looking up this number it rang as I was looking.
Go figure. No means no!
Not interested is self explanatory!

Spam call about my website not complying to Google standards. Told them website is for sh*ts and giggles, and I'm not interested in fixing anything on it.
