I've noticed a number of fake seeming reviews on local businesses here in Vancouver, BC. The accounts seem to be leaving fake reviews across Canada. It's particularly suspicious to me given the improper grammar and almost entire lack of reference to anything specific to the business. The accounts also seem to give 100% 5 star reviews.
There's no option in Google Maps to report these users for being fraudulent.
For example:

- z0r 6y agoI've seen this too - a fake business (one selling bait-and-switch low quality services through online storefronts) had many 5 star reviews, and if you clicked into their profiles you'd see a smattering of 5 stars reviews all across the country, sometimes in different countries. Some of them also gave a few 1 star reviews to a few places, probably the flip side of the same review selling business.
