Recent banking scams through Maps as given below  were of very grave importance for which serious attention and immediate actions to be taken to avoid further relating to to other areas. It resulted a question mark for future security, safety and privacy adversary affecting arising out of such misuse..Even our effort for edit to Banking and ATM being affected.and resulting in lack of incentive and interest and concern of  future.It is a fact that because of this

In this regards, like to point out that Cases like this  has been inculcating  fear  and insecurity for private information which we are providing with much efforts, risk and time being  misused by anybody. to be taken very seriously by concerned.to avoid in future since it is  I negative effect affecting the safety, security and freedom to community and society.

Hi @jojo522,

Thanks for your contribution.

I am not sure I'm folowing. We need more information to better understand what you’re suggesting. Can you share the specific things you’d like to see?

@MashaPSI am ready to give more information and clarify what i want.To understand what i suggest i am ready to share. Could you please do not discard simply on the ground on that excuse.

What i try to explain is that we, as Local Guides have been given important information of our locality and its microscopic details by contributing as Local Guides  about location of places,edit and details on the assumption that it is safe,protected and not misused by anybody..This may be about a local place seemed to be quite unimportant but have great strategic importance from the point of view of a miscreant or terrorist who  can  misuse and hence  threat to security and safety of even the nation by navigating such information. Recently we have seen lot of inconvenience because of scamsters seem to have stumbled upon a gold mine in the form of a loophole in the Google Maps interface. Taking advantage of the fact that on Google Maps, an establishment’s contact details can be edited by anyone as explained by the following

Why it is not understandable and not clear that such scam to be controlled in future.and measures to be taken not to repeat such scam.

 For more information to better understand what i am  suggesting i am going to   share the specific incident  such as terrorist attacks which took place in Mumbai  a decade ago when  the strategic and important  information being misused from such sources such as location,details etc regarding Mapping and Navigation inputs. 

My suggestion is what we can contribute to have a 100% control of such misuse which are a thread to security. Suggestions how to  take serious control measures, filters,and monitoring against such spying, scam etc  to stop such trends in future so that it will not happen again or such related spam will be completely controlled so that we feel more secured.
