Caller: Claimed google maps

Told him I couldn't careless if google has the correct info or not. My business does not rely on them for business and stop ringing. Claimed we will lose business and no longer shown on google. To me perfect, stop the keyboard warriors posting false reviews.

Lady called our real estate agency asking about one of our specific holiday rental whether it had an official reception downstairs. After hearing the answer, she just hang up.

Caller: GOOGLE MAPS SCAMMER

Wants money to NOT be taken off Google Maps..... Hahaaaa

Google Scammers

Caller: 831

States Tax Office and arrest warrant issued if I dont pay them $20,000.. They were asking all kinds of personal private questions to steal our identity. Wanting our credit card number and forcing us to pay them.

Caller: google maps

yep, Google maps call but dont id themselves until you ask them then you ask them more and they just hung up.

wanted to confirm details about business, name, address, are you open... yes. When I asked why they wanted to know all this they just hung up WTF is going on?

Have been ringing relentlessly for weeks, never leaving a voicemail. I see from this forum that it is potentially Google Maps validating my business details which could make sense as I have Google listings linked to this mobile. But the daily/weekly calls are ridiculous!

Caller: Indian scammer

ATO scammer called me asking to pay him $60,990 into his overseas Indian account.

Indian lady called few times, said she's from google map to confirm the detail of our business - in same lady voice.
I asked why asked all those same questions just few days ago, she hang up.

Just missed this call

Caller: (02) 9566 6000

Very probably a Google Maps rep calling to verify or delete edits made by user suggestions.

However if so they really need to reduce the scam vibe that the call presents.
I would suggest an email from a verified google address.
Easy to confirm as opposed to an Indian accented caller randomly calling saying they are from Google.
Surely Google realizes this will raise immediate suspicion as is obvious from the posts on this forum.

Better still let business owners delete the sometimes ridiculous user suggestions themselves.

Caller: (02) 9566 6000

I received an incoming call from this number. An Indian man identified him as a staff at Google Map and asking if the landline matches with my postal address given on Google Map. I said we are running multiple business and if the information you found on Google Map and that's the correct one then he hung up.
I do not know if this is a scam call as I did not give any confidential information but the confirmation on the postal address.
I think you can ask to identify what department of Google Map the person work for and the name of the caller as well.
I hope the above helps.

I also got a similar call, but from a women trying to confirm website address against google listing. I told her I run a services company and don't give out the physical address. She said thankyou and hungup. Either a scam or a directory company, but it makes no sense to me either.

Indian lady asking me to verify our address; after she told me what our address was, I said that's correct, she then asked if it was open (which is weird) so I just hung up. Sounded like she wanted to get me to say the word yes - maybe to record my voice and sign me up for something?

Caller: google something

indian man phoned. asked to verify our business is active , asked for our address (we are mobile and don't have a physical address). Said thankyou and hung up. bloody time wasters I will wring their neck

Caller: some indian scammer aka google maps

DO NOT TRUST THIS NUMBER ITS A SCAM...LOOKS LEGIT BECAUSE IT HAS AN AUSTRALIAN LANDLINE PHONE NUMBER TO IT BUT ITS A SCAM..
ASKED ME IF MY BUSINESS WAS STILL IN THE SAME ADDRESS! AND THAT GOOGLE MAPS WANTED TO KNOW! LIKE HELLO INDIAN BITC* GET A REAL JOB

Caller: (02) 9566 6000

Woman called 'from Google' (no name or anything) and wanted to check our business name, address and website details - 'to make sure they have the correct information'. Just sounded weird so I said 'no - we don't have a website'. She basically said bye and hung up.

just got a call from "google maps". said this sounds like a scam and she hung up.
