I had a phone call from 'Google' stating that it was time to renew my map listing with them, the sales man on the phone was very convincing, I told him I didnt want the service, he then went on to tell me I owed the money and if I didnt pay he would have to push on and there would be court / police action, he went on to explain that it would be cheaper to pay him the £200 rather than the court costs.
I paid the £200.
When I got off the phone I did some research and found out this company was called GO-RISE, go rise has the following address:
GO-RISE LTD
71-75 SHELTON STREET
COVENT GARDEN
LONDON
WC2 H9JQ
[protected]
This is in fact is a virtual office and the telephone number is un manned at all times, go rise is a complete scam!
after further digging I discovered that the actual address for the company is:
4 Market Street Lane, Blackburn, Lancashire BB2 2DE
I cannot for the life of me get hold of them at all but I will be getting a refund off go rise.
please comment to help me!

The company director is a Mr Jordan Woods, why have a virtual office based in London and a telephone that is not manned if you have nothing to hide?
It appears to me that GO RISE is a complete scam, they are a scam company hiding behind a scam address.
anybody who does not provide a manned phone beware! screams scam
Don't fooled by this company, absolute waste of time and money. Promise the earth but end up delivering nothing. It wouldn't surprise me if they get shut down soon. Go Rise? I'd be surprised if they could make their own ### rise.
im sad to say i have been conned by this company, im an old woman and was led to believe andy was calling from google, at first he was polite and he quoted a password, and also provided me the last 4 digits of the card i have, is this fraud? then he started pressuring me, and after stating i wasnt interested he said that he would delete all my details from google. after giving card details he later mentioned go rise which i think he said go-rise, how did he have this information when the have only been opened a month, i have rung my bank and they will be stopping the payment as soon as they attempt to take my money, i hope my words can help anyone else being forced into business with these con artists, regards
Hi
I am Jordan Woods Director of Go-Rise Ltd.
We are a legitimate company providing a legitimate service to many customers, i have investigated all the above comments which are completley falsified, each of the accounts above that appear to have left comments have all been created on the same day at a clear attempt to give the company a bad name (it is clear to the company who has done so)
We have a manned telephone line 9am-5pm and each of our customers receives a dedicated account manager with a direct number (and sometimes mobile number) we can be contacted on email 24/7 at accounts@go-rise.com. We are a relatively new company but have many happy customers and anyone wishing to get in touch to discuss any of our services or any of the above please do so and i will be happy to help
Go-rise ### of the earth! I told someone I didn't any money and someone kept pressuring me saying I'd be removed of google! When I kept telling him no in a polite way he became aggressive and threatened to punch my head in and put the phone down! I have contacted training standards and also I will be contacting the police over this matter
COMPLETE SCAM, CALLED ME SAYING THEY WAS GOOGLE, I PAID THEM, THEN IT SAID GO RISE ON MY STATEMENT, WHO THE HELL IS GO RISE... I GOT A REFUND THROUGH MY BANK.
We've just had a call from these scammers, Go-Rise, stating that we'd already paid for a Googlemap listing back in 2012 and would we like to renew it!. We know that the information given to us by 'Alex' was a load of bollox, as we'd never pay for something like this. Just be aware when you get a phone call from somebody with a strong Northern accent. He never got around to demanding any money, else I would have told him where to go.
Pretty sure this is his mobile number [protected]
I have used this company for the last year and I am very happy with the service they have provided me and my company they are very dedicated to there work and I will use in the future. A++++ Regards The Billington Hotel x
the above comment "I have used the company for a year"...strange being as they have only been trading since January... No doubt posting their own recommendations. I too have been ripped off by these bandits...Trading Standards and police are well aware of them, having received multiple complaints...I would urge anyone to do the same and report them.
This company are a scam! They tried to tell my mother that they are renewing her Google Maps and keywords luckily I am in online marketing myself and do her google ad words for her so I knew she had never had an account with them and they were taking the piss! Google Maps is a FREE product. These people are ###! be care ful and do no give them any money as they can not get you to the top of Google as they are not Google!
As a digital marketing director responsible for companies such as bbc, red bull and verious others, I am going to say that NO ONE EXCEPT Google can remove you from their search engine, anyone staying othwrwise is telling you lies.
All products except - Google ads (ppc), Google shopping (pla), Google re marketing adverts and a few other specialist products (only available through Google themselves ) are FREE.
Do not get scammed
Ditto.
This 'company' have just called us trying to scam us out of £300 with a second year 'free' !
He gave the same company name 'go rise internet services' with a contact number of: [protected]
We aren't stupid and know the google mapping is a free service and so called his bluff, whereupon he said' Oh, okay' and rang off.
Not the manner of an established, bona-fide company !
BEWARE of such calls. We have had several of the same type now.
This company are a complete farce; the biggest most cunning con artists you may ever come across; suffice to say I had much the same carry on as the rest of the people on here - They called me saying they were from Google & my annual fee was due '£89 ' - after a long conversation I gave my card detail only to find the next day £159-99 taken off my card & some ridiculous "invoice" in the post with no contact details whatsoever, no email/ phone numbers / website - nothing! I called my bank the same day & had the card payment reversed, with weeks Go-rise contested it & had THE MONEY BACK from me - I then raised the stakes & contacted Visa showing them proof why it was fraud, ie; links to this web page & the Facebook page set up showing them as fraudsters - The bank saw in our favour & gave us the money back again & closed the affair. Not to be outdone Go- Rise called us some weeks later making out they had been taken over by another company & needed our card details to "refund" money unjustly taken from us - yeah right ...get real here Go Rise ...do you think this is the Kindergarten & you are the teachers ? Piss off. (next time they call to offer anyone a refund you should ask them to send you a cheque!)
The Go-Rise Ltd has now been closed by the courts following an investigation by the Insolvency Service: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/de-listing-for-misleading-on-line-business-directory
