Google Auto Cold Calling Adwords Customers?

Moderator werty is a pretty legitimate source for this type of information which makes it interesting, albeit quite shocking. Werty told the forum that;
“I looked around and did not see anything on this, but yesterday my phone rang twice with “Google” on the caller ID.
I pick up the phone and the message was slightly cut off the first time:
“Please press 1 if you spend less than $5000 per month, Please press 2 if you have the budget to spend $5000 or more per month and are interested in our Premium Services. Please press 3 if you are interested in job opportunities.”
I hit 2 and am taken to a voicemail box. Hit zero to speak to an operator, and I am transferred to the Google Chicago office and leave a voicemail.
Less than 5 minutes later the phone rings again, Google on the caller id. Same message. This time I hit 2 and leave a voicemail. “
Are you surprised that the US Adwords team seems to be moving in this direction and what might it mean for agencies such as ambergreen?
