This is not the first time I have been seeing unsolicited ownership requests coming from Touch 2 Success, but there has been a large spike in restaurant ownership requests from this company.
What To Do:
1. Deny the Ownership Request
You should deny the ownership request as soon as it comes through.
Click » View Request » Deny
They use a variety of sequenced email addresses:
seo11@touch2success.co.uk
seo17@touch2success.co.uk
seo22@touch2success.co.uk
seo25@touch2success.co.uk
seo28@touch2success.co.uk
seo29@touch2success.co.uk
Also going to touch 2 success is the foodhub domain email requests:
mohanapriya.a@foodhub.com
soundarya.srinivasan@foodhub.com
divya.bharathy@foodhub.com
rajiv.rajendran@foodhub.com
2. Report Their Attempt
Without reporting, a human at Google My Business will never know of these fraudulent attempts at ownership access, so take 2 minutes and report.
Google My Business has specific 3rd party guidelines that agencies / companies should follow, so please do report bad third parties.
Restaurants need to protect their business listings, especially during COVID when they have become a hot commodity being able to remain open for takeaway and the entire country in lockdown.
Don’t let scammers get access to your business listing.
