Caller: Someone pretending to call from Google Maps
I've never got a call from Google Maps. This guy was asking if my business details were correct online. - AnonymousOctober 11, 2021CompanyAustralia
Caller: Google Maps
This is NOT a scam. The people making reports on this site just don't know how Google Maps works for businesses. How do I know? I submitted changes to my business profile which were not publicly visible, and I received a call from this number checking whether part of the change was correct.
Google Maps does check the accuracy of business info, but I guess people reporting this as a scam are unaware of these behind-the-scenes activities. I can understand a small element of the scepticism, because the call quality was poor and the English spoken was not great, and there was no effort made to convince me that the call was genuine. However, as the caller knew the exact change I had made, and was verifying something very specific (not new info, and in no way exploitable for a scam), there is no reason to miscategorise this as something dodgy. - AnonymousNovember 25, 2021UnknownAustralia
Just letting you all know it's not a scam.
It's actually indian call centre contract by Google. I got an email after from Google asking for me to confirm the change in times - AnonAugust 3, 2021UnknownAustralia

Caller: Indian woman, sounded hot
I think it might be legit, I’d been getting calls and checked it here. When it came through again I thought I’d have some fun. So I bullsh*tted opening hours etc, and got a confirmation email with the update. I hadn’t given them any more info as I thought it could be phishing. Anyway I now work 24/7 - AnonymousJune 17, 2021Scam callAustralia
FAKE/SCAM CALL.
Received an incoming call from a person who said she is calling from Google Maps.
Reverted her request to confirm the business details by saying to email the best contact email address if she wants to make any official enquiries as a representative of Google Maps. - AnonymousMay 28, 2021UnknownAustralia
Caller: Not Google Maps
Claims to be google maps but clearly not. I said google is able to send me 2 factor authentication to prove it is them, and she said unfortunately we are the one division of google that can’t do that. I laughed at her and politely told her to rack off. - AnonymousFebruary 2, 2021Call centreAustralia
Caller: Someone from "Google Maps"
Asked to confirm business hours and address. When confirming street address they didn't even mention a street name, only city and was very unprofessional in their wording.
Best guess is that they are gathering details to send to telemarketers or email scammers to seem more legitimate.
Do not answer questions. - Nayab BukhariApril 27, 2022OtherAustralia

Caller: Google Maps
Agreed, this is NOT a scam. It is Google maps verifying changes made about business hours. Phone quality is poor as is the English but it is genuine. - AnonymousMarch 30, 2022UnknownAustralia
7 calls in 1 month, I said send me an email, she responded they are unable.. So I reversed the truck, beep beep beep. - AnonymousFebruary 24, 2022Call centreAustralia
I do not think this is a scam. Google maps displays business hours when one wishes to navigate to a company location so I don't see how confirming these details is scam worthy?
I mentioned the address she quoted was incorrect as we had just moved office and she referenced a website link to update these details. To which the link was legitimate and I was not asked those provide those details over the phone.
They did not phish for anything more than business hours which is publicly available regardless? - AnonymousJanuary 31, 2022Scam callAustralia
