Resolved Question

Who is "Sharon from Google, and why is she always calling me

Sep 2, 2014 9:59AM PDT

For the last 6 months or more, I have been getting robo-calls from "Hi, This is Sharon from Google". Why is Google doing this and how do I get it to stop? I'm on a DON'T CALL list, but that's worthless in stopping some of these calls. I can understand the phishing and scam calls, but what is Google trying to prove, except to irritate the bloody hell out of me?

Thank you.

Thank you, Lee, for your information. I may not be able to stop the calls, but now at least I know what is going on. (I do think that Google is powerful enough to have the methods to go after these characters. Wish someone would).
