@KatyaL Good day. Hope you are doing well.

I want to report another serious scam. Someone has changed the details of a popular Public University to his own mobile phone repair shop. Please review the below information and take appropriate action. Several local guides including me have reported this but nothing has changed yet. 

Listing URL: https://goo.gl/maps/Du2fAamowKXRuWsH6

Current name (SPAM): showrav telecom

Current phone (SPAM): 01938-796285

Now change the information to these,

Original name in English: Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University

Original name in Bengali: মাওলানা ভাসানী বিজ্ঞান ও প্রযুক্তি বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়

Original phone: +880921 51899

Address: Santosh, Tangail - 1902.

Feel free to ask if you need more information.

@KatyaL I am frustrated by this scam. A person has claimed one of our popular destinations. Our national zoo. I don't know-how Google My Business is verifying the ownership. I can't believe this. This person has changed the name of the zoo to his own name and has move the map marker to his. This is really bad. I have reported several times scam like this where people had claimed popular business with lots of reviews. Please take action!

Listing URL: https://goo.gl/maps/vNeR9GVJeWV2KRRZ6

Current name in English (SPAM): Md abubakkar Siddik Khan (personal name)

Current website (SPAM): https://animationmdabubakkarsiddikhan39167.blogspot.com/

Map marker location is also wrong.

Now change the information to these,

Original name in English: Bangladesh National Zoo

Category: Zoo

Address: Bangladesh National Zoo, Zoo Road, Mirpur, Dhaka-1216

Official Website: https://bnzoo.org

Map Marker location  should be here: https://goo.gl/maps/9nbqkmht2hYmyVuW6

Hours: Please add hours from the official website's contact us page. Find under VISIT HOURS.

And please revoke the ownership or verified label of this business. You can see that the spammer has shared his own photo as owner.

Feel free to ask if you need more information. 

I'd like to know how these spammers can easily manipulate these popular businesses? I'd suggest you set some sort of sensitivity for listings by the importance of the business-like photos, reviews, etc.
