I am tired of reporting the issue to the google maps team .some one has claimed the road transport office tirupati google map listing as km briyani. As the offender has claimed the business unable to reclaim the original name.it makes a serious threat as google maps providing option to claim for every change .this makes it easy to claim any organisation with out any verification there will be lot of scammers .

Google map maker was way better than local guides .

Google please take a look into the link

Hi @shankarbhuvanesh

What you said is correct: the business is claimed, so it will be very difficult to have an approved edit, that can be reverted back easily by the owner of the listing.

In this case, the best thing to do is to report the issue to the Google My Business Help Community for them to check the issue

The issue is some one has registered google maps listing of road transport office which is a government agency to issue license , registration of vehicles.

Please use @ and tag the person you are responding to. This will make it easy to being notified. Thanks

I understand the issue. The fact that the place is a governative agency doesn’t really makes any difference, as the POI (created by a Local guide) wasn’t managed by the owner, and so it was possible to claim it. As the claim is an abuse, it should be reported in the correct place, as already I told you.

Local Guides Connect is not the Community of GMB

Hey @shankarbhuvanesh ,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

I just wanted to let you know that I will relabel your post to How-tos, where Local Guides as their questions and express doubts related to the program. I am also accepting @ErmesT 's comment as a solution, since contacting GMB is the best thing to do in this situation.

I know that it’s issue about Google business but the problem bid lack authentication .this can be simply exploited what if someone gets listing of a bank or emergency service. I want to know the communitys that it could be problem I like google local guides much most of the places. There’s an increase in this type issues as local guide I have put forward my issue & wil forward to business team hope it doesn’t affect any one
