WOW Google, just wow ...

Mocality is a startup business building an online directory of Kenyan businesses. "Get Kenyan Businesses Online" is one of the many Google projects worldwide that offers small businesses in 3rd world countries a website and Google placement in a Google directory of Google businesses Google.

And then, this is the story of Google hiring callcentres on various continents to systematically click through the Mocality listings, call up those businesses, claim Mocality works for Google to sell them websites and make even more fraudulent claims.

Yeaah I know what it looks like, yet there seems to be something more going on. Here's the story on BoingBoing:

Google said they'll come with a statement soon.

Personally I prefer to jump to conclusions and poop all over them.

If they need time to think up a statement, I'll just drop my pance now and start the holocaust.

Good man!

But seriously there's several things rather fishy about this.

Some apologists say it's probably random scammers that proxied with a Google IP to pretend to be Google ("pretend to be someone else" is Scammer 101 they say), but it just doesn't add up. Mostly because the only reason those IPs surfaced were because Mocality did some (IMO) rather unexpected reverse-scamming, serving up a fake callback phonenumber to just that IP. I'm not buying that random scammers troubled themselves to get a valid Google-IP proxy just for that eventuality. (an eventuality in which they would be exposed anyhow)

My guess is Google will come with some statement that this was a rogue outsourced team that did not act in accordance with blablablabla

I just wanted to spaz out, and you RUINED it with your "logic" and your "wait for the facts" and your "let the other side have its say".

It's easy to see you're not an American™.  Or you wouldn't be tromping all over my Freedom™ that way.

Oh man! But I WAS spazzing out and then I thought you were taking the piss over MY jumping to conclusions!

(so I gave with arguments, common European fault)

Let's do it again! FUCK GOOGLE
