Spammy Local Guide Profile

There is another Local Guide in my area who appears to be abusing the system. I can't prove that he/she is spamming unhelpful reviews, but I can prove that they are regularly adding irrelevant stock photos to numerous locations. I just had to remove pictures of coffee, sailboats, and London's Tower Bridge from the profile of the small nonprofit museum where I work. Is there a way to report this user at the account level? I have reported many of their photos. Thanks guys!

Re: Spammy Local Guide Profile

Hi @MT_Wilson here is the preferred procedure to notify Google of Spam LGs:

 

Please, use the report flag on the review/image. If you feel like you find a spammer, please, don't share here public info, but tag a Google Moderator (look here: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/LGDiscussion/page/1/thread...) to request support. They will contact you through private message.

For further informations, read here: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/cmxpv89733/board/message?board.id=LGDiscussion&message.id=30997#M...

So you will have to tag here a Google Moderator like @GusMoreira that is specially involved in Spam report and mitigation; you will be contacted privately, please, don't share any detail in public.

 

Thanks for your efforts
