Ever wonder what an SEO scammer trying to rip you off with fake
Google+ services sounds like? Here's one that hit my voicemail this
afternoon, with a Caller ID showing +111111111.

The problem here isn't people who immediately realize this is a scam,
but persons who falsely believe it is Google calling, and either
(a) fall for the rip-off pitch or (b) inappropriately get angry at Google
for calling (which of course, they did not).
No obvious solution for this is evident, other than lots of prior warning.
