"Google My Business" & "Verify your Google profile or you won't be found" calls are obnoxious scams. One robocalled SMBworks just moments ago.
Tip: It isn't Google making the calls. And be careful who you entrust with access to your Google Business Profile (as it's now called).
Watch the video for the use of "Google-slap" as a term for SERP penalization.
