What's your source? I searched for "google duplex fraud" and found a few results indicating that maybe the "businesses" called during the demo weren't real? I can't find anything that proves this assertion, but even if I could I'm not sure I'd label the whole demo fraudulent in terms of displaying the state of the technology.
