The issue of review scams targeting businesses continues to thrive, despite Google's attempts to combat it. Reports indicate scammers are now directly threatening businesses with negative reviews unless a fee is paid. Business owners are warned by Google to report such scams rather than capitulate to demands. The community remains on alert, with members sharing frequent instances of these threats to maintain awareness and support one another in combating such fraudulent activities.
Scammers are now texting businesses about how they're posting negative reviews on their business.
Our policies clearly state reviews must be based on real experiences, and our teams are working around the clock to thwart these attacks.
If your business is being targeted by these scammers, please do not pay them.
Tim Capper stated that reports of such scams are super common in the GBP community.
