Anyone place a cell phone call linked by a Google search lately?

A friend just tried calling a piercing/tattoo shop after finding the number in a link from a Google search on her android...

Before it rang...a message came on saying something like "Please state your name while google tries to connect your call...BEEP"

She immediately hung up because thats never happene before. THEN she went to the official website of the shop and called from their web link and there no message from Google!

I use startpage and ive never had this issue...had anyone else experienced this?

She has a smart phone but doesnt have a facebook account or use her phone for very many personal things...is she just a rare case of this or an anomaly?

Is this a new tactic by google to collect info/voice data?

Thanks for your wisdoms in advance.
