Recordist's notes
Ok, probably not from Google Maps, but these clever cranks are using a number which appears to originate from Google's HQ in Mountain View. +1 650-253-2000. Feel free to crank call them back. If anyone can understand the language spoken, I'd be curious to know what she / he / it is saying. Slightly creeped out by this one, I gotta say, especially with all the news of mil intel cyber attacks from North Korea and China these days.
