I Reported One Suspicious Location — Then I Searched the Name and Found More

At first, I found one location called AA2888 / SUN2888.

It was listed as an Education center, but when I checked the website and owner content, it looked related to gambling instead. The information did not seem to match the category, so I reported the location.

My report is still pending.

After that, I became curious and searched the keyword “AA2888” directly on the map.

Then I found something more interesting.

There was another listing named aa2888, but this one was categorized as a Sports club. It also showed a website and the same phone number: XXX 782 888.

So now we have at least two similar listings:

  • one categorized as Education center
  • one categorized as Sports club
  • both connected with the same or similar AA2888 name
  • both using information that appears related to the same service

This changed the situation for me.

At first, I thought maybe it was only one incorrect listing. But after searching the keyword and finding another similar place with a different category, it started to look more like a pattern of misleading or spam locations.

I am not asking anyone to report blindly.

Please check the location carefully first. Look at the name, category, website, phone number, photos, address, and whether the place really matches what is shown on the map.

If we find more listings using the same pattern, we should document them together and report them properly.

One suspicious location may be a mistake.

But when the same name, contact information, and similar website appear across multiple locations with different categories, I think it deserves a closer look.

This is why community checking matters.

Let’s help keep our map accurate and useful for everyone.

Note: Online gambling is illegal in Cambodia.

Found new Cases!

Great catch, @SophatCHY
I’ve escalated it to the team for a check

Once upon a time someone added locations of billboards on maps in Bangladesh, like “abc brand advertisement”. Probably because they didn’t know that they can just label coordinates and create lists instead of adding them on maps.
