STOP the spam reviewers

Contributing in Google maps is always enjoying job for me. By this I think to have helping people to take right decision. 

But there's many fake reviewers surrounding us. 

Here is an example: 

[REDACTED]

 

 

Is there any solution or necessary action for these reviews or reviewers? @TraciC

Re: STOP the spam reviewers

Hi  @MahmudPolash

 

Thanks for reaching out on this.I have edited your post to remove the information of another user as we respect everyone's privacy and discourage the sharing of private information. As I can see the user you want to flag is a Local Guide,  I'll contact you briefly with further instructions via private message.

 

Let me clarify all the procedure ;):

  • If you find a review or photo that you think violates our policies in Google Maps, you can use the 'flag/report as inappropriate' icon next to the contribution. A team of specialists will then check if it violates any of our policies (https://goo.gl/dsVNTC & https://goo.gl/G87xzJ) and will take appropriate action.
  •  If you've found a Local Guide contributing content or behaving in a way that you think violates Google Maps' policies and/or Local Guides program rules, let us know here in Connect (but please don't share in any case that person's information publicly) by tagging a Google Moderator and we'll reach out to you via private message with instructions on how to share that information with the Local Guides team.  

As a reminder, the content review sometimes takes time as the team is careful to only remove content that violates policy. Please note that we'll never be able to share the specialists' decision as we respect everyone's privacy. Please see also this post to learn more.

 

Many thanks for your help.

Re: STOP the spam reviewers

First remove all details of spammer from your post

Than tag Google moderator ( not Googler or connect moderator)

Than only you will receive a private message from that moderator in which you can tell in detail about spammer

Hi @MahmudPolash,

 

First of all, please be noted that Corrie is no long on LGs team, so please see below post:

Meet the Google Moderators 

 

For screenshots in non native language, it is hard for me to use Google translate.  If you can type out some keywords in text, it will help me alot.

 

Yes, Spammer is a real concern and we should pay effort to stop them.
