I hope there's enforcement here. I mean just look at this garbage:

I once tried reporting these blatant phishing reviews, but apparently on Google the only way to report a review is if it's "Child sexual abuse material" if it's "policy related" and only "court order" or "intellectual property" if it's legal related. It's a wholy unsatisfactory system riddled with garbage.

Reporting to Google is generally useless. Skim these search results.

The a large percentage of these listings are fake. They're run by a single company who has blanketed Chicago with "lead generation" listings across several local service business industries.

You can report them to Google. Nothing gets done most of the time. Redressal form? Same thing. Escalate on the forums? Same result.

And this is only one such lead gen network that I know of. Google doesn't care.
