Google Maps bug, or maps hijack
Google maps results for Movers New York, NY query showing a business pretending are FlatRate.com, one of the leading and most trusted moving companies (Forbes awarded) in the states. Real FlatRate is (E & G), the hijacker is Luckymover.com shown as (A).
Somehow, Luckymover info window is showing FlatRate’s Details, 120 Reviews and Web Pages.
The only differences are the brand names (“flat that rate”), link & directions (“Luckymover.com”) and fake address few blocks away (same zip code).

Not solved! I’m having the same problem this morning and it’s April! Unless they’ve only solved it in the US and not bothered in AU…
