Imagine getting a legit‑looking Google Maps alert from a number you don’t recognize—only to discover it’s a spoof. These calls usually flash a Directory Mgmt or Maps Dir label, then sit silent or emit a fax‑tone, hoping you’ll press a keypad button. Never share business info or press any keys; instead, verify any Google Maps request directly in your Google Business account. Block the offending number, report it to the FTC and your carrier, and consider a third‑party call‑filtering app. Staying skeptical and confirming requests through official channels cuts down the odds of falling for these fake verification scams.
Four calls were made between 3:10 pm and 5:06 pm, with no messages left and the caller ID displaying Directory MGMT.
This incident is another instance of a fake Google scam.
The caller ID says 'Directory Mgmt', but no one speaks, it seems like a robocall
Today's second call from this number was met with just a beep, no identification provided
This call was identified by a fax tone.
A fake Google Maps verification call was received, claiming that my business information needed to be updated, and requesting that I press a number to proceed.
Yesterday, at 3:32 PM, 12:18 PM, 11:59 AM, and 11:31 AM, I received multiple calls from these scammers, leaving no messages
Google maps is very annoying, i dont pick up when they call.
This is a phony Google Maps listing scam, with the only variation being the spoofed name and number displayed on the caller ID.
Multiple calls were made by this number today, and when answered, a fax tone was heard, clearly an attempt to identify active numbers.
This appears to be a fake verification attempt from Google Maps
Totaly a cranker.
This appears to be another instance of a 'Maps Dir' call.
