Fake Google firm

Fake Google firm shut down after probe

The agency said Movette had used "deceptive methods" to bill clients for the use of Google My Business - a free service provided by the US search firm.

Movette had been in business for two-and-a-half years before being wound up in the High Court.

It had received more than £500,000 in fees before the intervention.

Google My Business is a service that encourages companies to share information and images about themselves to help the tech firm display relevant listings in its Search and Maps tools.
