He was kind of evasive on that. When asked who he worked for he said "Google" What Dept? "Google"
When we got him to elaborate on what he was trying to sell. "Isn't Google free?" we got directed to Local and Places. We noticed our biz was listed under the incorrect category's in local. We were in Category's we didn't cover and not in our core category's. He said it was like the phone book and we could buy ads that would be placed when people searched for words related to our category's. Basically sponsored results.
We told him if they couldn't even get us listed on the free side correctly why would we pay them. He said he was only on the ad side but local could fix it and if we bought in he would have them fix it. We told him to fix it and get back to us. If they can get the free side correct maybe we would think about it. Hasn't called us back since.
I'll try and get his contact info for you when I have time to search for it at work.
