Has anyone experienced dirty tricks on google maps, without mentioning site names I have a competitor who is using a street address with a different domain name then when clicked it redirects to the main site which is not a local business at all, it is at the top of g maps and is a major keyword. I thought google would see through tricks like this

Maybe you could write a review of the business mentioning that the link misdirects. If the review is at the top of the list it should appear somewhere near the Google Map listing...just a thought.
