I am sure you must have done "Report" on Google Maps about this issue and tag Google Moderators in this forum.Keep it up.

In fact three days back I had similar issue of doing irrelavent Advertising, in Review, of many public places, by some LG.

I waiting for some feedback from Google.

Hi @VijayDesai!

 What you have written is a stark reality !!!

Some days back in posted regarding almost identical feature . I pleaded ti all my LG friends to have a physical verification and checking facts ( if possible) before editing .

I have seen a number of places where I feel , on paying a physical visit and facts checking mode, while those places are marked with "5 star rating " , are NOT ALL WORTHY OF THAT .

 I often put up level and suggested my comments , to make the the Google authority aware .

Don't t know  ; what action has been taken as of date .

I have also attached the photographs also .

Hope it will draw their attention.
