New verification

[liorenda]

Fraudulent Business Profiles in the Spotlight as Google Updates Verification Requirements and Trust Signals - BrightLocal

So Google is supposedly rolling out an additional layer of verification.
A few questions:

1. Did you encounter this type of verification?
2. Is it only for new listings, or old listings can get a verification call as well?
3. Is there a list of Google phone numbers?

Thanks,
Lior
