How to mark several places as Spam?

Hello everyone.

I’ve noticed that somebody is trying to advertise their business by spamming fake location in the ocean.

I can report a location and mark it as spam. But there is no way I’m going to click on every one

of them, there are simply to many. I can’t see who is doing this so I can’t report the person.

Maybe admins can figure it out and delete the spam.
Here is the link to the coordinates close to where this is happening. https://goo.gl/maps/HVYSyw2agZCoPTEi6

But same spam also exists further away.

Thank You :smile:

Hi @DimitriT

Please read this post to know how to report a Local Guide: How to identify and report fraud on Google Maps

How to report a review? Please read: https://support.google.com/maps/answer/6230175

In addition, if the listing of your client is in GMB, he should follow this procedure: Flag inappropriate reviews

BTW I also wants to remind you that Local Guides is a program for individuals. Please make sure to check out the program rules

You can be in the program an individuals, while in this moment you appear to be here as a business. If so, you should exit from the Local Guides Program. You can do it from here: https://maps.google.com/localguides/home/settings

Thank you for highlighting this subjects @DimitriT

My feeling BTW is a bit different, as the business seems to be claimed, and My feeling is that they are doing something wrong with the addresses of the branches.

I believe this issue, as we are talking about a business, should be reported on the Google My Business Help Community

In any case I am tagging a Google Moderator for a check, @BorrisS
