I found a Axis Bank branch on Maps and dialed the mobile number published.
But the person who picked up the phone was not a bank representative rather a financial fraudster, he tried to get confidential information about my bank account to access it. I didn't fall for this but it could be very harmful for people who are not aware of such scams.
I reported that number as SPAM but Maps didn't approve my edit and it is still showing that wrong contact number. This is a very serious issue. I found just one there could be many such fraud numbers on Banking and financial institutions Places on Map.
How can we make sure such misleading information is removed immediately from Maps?

Hi @Lalit_Khokhar a Googler will reach out to you shortly. You can report the particular branches either via feedback within the Maps App or here (without mentioning people) and then they can be investigated.
