I just found a local guide post on an online marketplace selling reviews since their account has 5 stars. I got their name from the print they shared. Who should I report this to?

@Reporter1 You can report the profile yourself. For explanation and steps on how to do it, you can check out the following article

https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/Announcements/You-can-now-report-entire-profiles-for-abuse-on-Google-Maps/ba-p/2587129

  • Click on the user name in the list of Reviews/Photos they contributed or the Question/Answer they posted to get to their profile page.
  • Click on the three dot icon.
  • Choose ‘Report’ on iOS or ‘Report profile’ on Android.

Also, if you want, you can also send me the Google Maps link profile and marketplace listing through Connect private message, and I can try to help escalate. Hope that helps.

How do I get to the profile from the name I have on the prints? I’ve tried googling but no luck

@Reporter1 Can you send me a private message with the link to the print listing?

@Reporter1 I checked the link and looks like the listing is no longer available. I did see the profile from your screenshot (thanks for not sharing it publicly), so I will do my best to escalate.
