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.

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.

Caller: SCAMMER

WHEN ARE THESE DIRTBAG SCAMMERS GOING TO GIVE UP CALLING PEOPLE AND WASTING OUR TIME?

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

Caller: Unknown

Spam caller. Caller was an Indian woman pretending to be from Google Maps asking what businesses operating hours are.

Caller: Google maps

Called to confirm business name, if the business was still open and confirm business telephone number. They provided all the details. No further question asked. Once those three questions were answered, they finished the call. Seems legit.

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

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.

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.

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.

Caller: Don’t know - no message

They have called me several times. No message left. I am not a business and my number has never been associated with a business (private mobile been in my name for 20+ years).

Ring up now and then and hang up

Google Maps They Say - I dont even use google maps - Scam Red Flag # 1 (03) 7035 6710 - Number Now Blocked

Caller: SCAM pretends to be google map

This number called twice and didn't leave a message. On third time. An indian accent lady said she's from google map, can't even say her sentence properly. She said she's trying to confirm business details and trading hours. Asked her to give us her email to verify that way, she said no. Asked her who get you to call us and she said okay and hung up. Sounds like a SCAM.

Caller: Google Maps

I don't think this is a scam. I wasn't available to take this call and received a voicemail and then received a note from google that my google my business page had been updated as permanently closed (which it is not.)

Caller: Google Maps (Sounds dodgy but it is legit)

Called me once I made changes to business details to confirm.

If this is Google asking to confirm business details why are they calling me late at night?
Does this make sense to you?

Caller: (03) 7035 6710

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.

Caller: Google

Is 100 percent from google. So many downies here just assumed otherwise based on accent.

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.
