Subject: Scam Using Google Local
Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author
It recently came to my attention that a certain website
(www.newyearseve.com) recently registered about a hundred different
"businesses" on Google Local with different major nightclub, names all
using variations of the same address:

133 West 25th Street New York, NY 10001

They don't actually own any of these nightclubs, it's just a scam to
trick users to buy tickets from them. An example of this is Webster
Hall

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&abauth=96173e12%3A5flz0VneqLN9IaRtOrI...

One of these is the real Webster Hall, the other is a trick. Can
anything be done about this type of scam? These types of tactics are
hurting legitimate businesses.

We're looking into this and will take appropriate steps to make sure the
businesses on Google Maps are represented fairly.

Thanks for letting us know,
Jen
