Fraudulent listing featured in local news

@JanVanHaver There was an article featured in our local TV station about fraudulent towing company listings on Google maps. I flagged each one in the article as spam about 6 weeks ago, but they are still showing up. Here is a link to the article. There are also profiles that appear to be fake leaving reviews for the companies. I can PM you those if you like.

As Connect Moderator I don’t really have an option to take action here, so allow me to tag Google Moderator @BorrisS so he can escalate this to the relevant team.

Thank you @JanVanHaver I wasn’t sure who to tag so I really appreciate the help!

No worries @DivineMsM , always happy to help. The basic difference is that Connect Moderators are just local guides like yourself, Google Moderators are Google employees.

Hello @DivineMsM ,

Thank you for flagging this and @JanVanHaver thank you for tagging me.

As far as I understand, you already flagged the article, but have in mind that it might take some days in order for the required changes to be visible. Please note that for all business related activities, it would be best if you reach out to the Google My Business Help Forum.

I will reach out to you via private message with further instructions.
