Hello,

There are two Instagram accounts that represent official local guide and used Google’s names and Logos as their own.

I reported them on Instagram as pretending to be Google Local Guide but those are still active

Local Guide Official

Google Local Guide

These accounts also doing business activities under Local Guide name as we can see they described in bio and hashtags.

It would be good if Google could check this issue closer in contact with Instagram @MashaPS

Hello @Amiran

You are right both are fake accounts and needs to be reported. I think the best way to report these accounts is via Instagram only. After a review they will take it down. Here is procedure for the same,

  • Open Insta
  • find these accounts
  • three dots at top right corner of accounts
  • Report User
  • Its Inappropriate
  • Its pretending to be someone else
  • A celebrity of public figure
  • In search section choose Official account of local guides and press next.
  • Done

Thanks @deepakjhic ,

Yes I did these steps but after weeks still no check and I think it needs a report of the official team.
