Is this possible ?


I post this because it’s disturbing. I saw a post in a Facebook group that one guy selling level 10 local guides account to anyone. My question is, is this possible ?
I achieved level 10 in 2017 with much dedication to the local guides program. So I just feel bad about this. Also because of the value of the google maps and my business I had a lot of offerings for my level 10 account too.
I really hope you local guides program will look into this someday.
And of course, I know, adding places and editing are approved by google with a high accuracy rate.
