I've had Google call me 3 times this week asking what my business address is. I told them to do a Google search and find out for themselves. :o
I own a motorcycle shop too. Google has been calling businesses offering to move you up the search results list in your area for a fee.

Um that might not be google... Did caller ID say GOOGLE?  ;D ;D ;D

That is what is known as business spam...

Definitely has a phishing odor to it.

Though google will personally intervene if there is dispute about a business listing owner.

Furthermore I've had Google call me on a number of times -- each time I initiated the contact though.

Ask for a name and callback number. That is often enough to get a phishing attacker to stumble.

Oh and don't give sensitive information out.
