Got a robocall from this number (with "Unknown Name" on caller ID) saying our "Google listing" was marked for deletion. This is a local area code so I called the number back. Got a salesperson at a company in New Jersey that he identified as "Royal 9." I can find no reference anywhere to a business with that name.
I asked why the number came up as a local number with no caller ID and he said it was "forwarded." Concealing your identity and using a fake local number reeks of scam.

Exactly as Susan M said... it's a scam... "Your account on Google Maps is flagged for removal. Speak to our representative to verify your listing so we can retrieve your sign-in and password."
Anyone that falls for this deserves whatever they get scammed out of. We handle all of our own google maps listings ourselves for the last few years and NEVER has anyone from Google needed to contact us... well, except for the scammers that is...
Got a call from this no. this morning. Didn't answer. Went straight to Google to look it up, and this is what I find. Thanks to each of you for the info. Thanks Susan, Doug, and WDA
