Exprto Mentorship Programme for IIT and NEET in Gurugram Haryana is completely a fake. It takes money and do not provide any service. They are not receiving the calls also. They are deleting all the honest reviews given by students. Only the 5 star reviews given by their team members are visible to others.

Hello @Priya1 , thank you for sharing this, while i see there are also 1-star reviews in their Google Map Profile, you can always report fake 5 star reviews to the google if you see any fake review in any business’s Google Map profile
Many businesses purchase reviews from review providers, raising concerns about the authenticity of online feedback. Surprisingly, Google hasn’t been able to curb this practice effectively.
Hay @Priya1
I share with you helpful Link, Support.google.com & support.google
.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks
Hi @Priya1 Welcome to the Local Guide community.
It’s sad to see such fake reviews on Google Maps. Unfortunately there are a lot of companies willing to pay people just to write such fake reviews. Kindly report such fake reviews on Maps so that Google can take appropriate actions. We need to help curb such practices.
Hello @Priya1 welcome to the community. You are correct some businesses pays to some money minded people to review there businesses a 5 star review. Please put a report to the team .
Hi @Priya1 , welcome to Connect, and thank you for sharing this issue.
I can see that the business is not respecting GBP rules, so please use this form to report them: Business Redressal Complaint Form - Google Business Profile Help
On the meantime I will escalate the business to the team for fake reviews, to take them down and to act in the profiles that are providing them.
Thank you again for helping to keep Google Maps a clean place.
I want also to inform you that I am changing the category of your topic, as it fits better in Google Maps tips & tricks - Local Guides Connect

@Priya1, thank you for sharing this. Report this issue, and make Google Maps safe for all. Please follow ErmesT comment. Thank you.
I am also reporting it personally. But there are so many fake reviews, which one will you forward? Google’s system needs to change. A person living in Istanbul, Turkey can comment on a business in Ankara. In fact, that person has never been to that business in Ankara. Here’s the problem.
There are many five star reviews. There aren’t even any comments in these comments. Only five stars were given and shared. The only comments of those who made this comment were made to that business. This is exactly the problem.
They are clearly violating Google Policies. Google is not doing any work on this issue. Comments without commentary should not be allowed. Location history should allow commenting to match. Must be able to leave a review when visiting a business or workplace using Google Maps.
There will be those who abuse this. Again, it’s Google’s job to keep track of this. If the person spends a lot of time at that business with the account they commented on, that comment should be deleted.
They have deleted my honest comments multiple times. Unfortunately, this is the case. I hope Google’s top executives are reading these comments. I hope they will take the necessary precautions accordingly. If they ignore this situation, an alternative site to Google will definitely appear in the future. This is a bad experience for Google too.
There are hundreds of local guides in Turkey who give reviews for money. On forum sites, everyone writes that they comment in exchange for money. If I can identify these local guides, I will report them to Google.
