The caller claims to be from Google Maps, but I’m not convinced; that’s the response I got when I called back from another line. Trying to keep this site updated so we all know whether to answer such calls.
Aggressive Ads Masquerading as Google?
Summary — +27112090598
Expert Opinion
Unsolicited calls claiming affiliation with Google Maps often surface as a tactic to lure recipients into sharing details or clicking dubious links. In this instance, the caller poses as 'Google Maps SA,' pushing aggressive advertising under the guise of verification or updates. Telecom trends show such tactics proliferating in South Africa, where spoofed local numbers evade basic filters. Hang up immediately if you receive similar outreach—legitimate Google never cold-calls for listings. Report to your carrier and platforms like the FTC equivalent to curb these nuisances. Enable call blocking apps for added protection, and verify business info directly on official sites to sidestep potential scams.
