I’m a Google Fi customer and have location turned on, so Maps asks me to review places I’ve been. Yesterday I was asked to review a hair salon in a city about 35 miles away, Maps claiming I had called it 2 weeks ago. But I haven’t called it – the number isn’t in my call history so even if I managed to randomly butt dial, that hasn’t happened. What gives? Is it possible my number was spoofed and somehow Fi thinks the call was made by me?

They test you with fake things to see if you’ll do it then if you lie they blacklist you and never ask you again. Just click the I haven’t been here or whatever button

I’ve heard of that with Rewards - there’s a motive to answer just to get the money, so it’s not unreasonable to test users that way. But reviews get you nothing so it seems strange. But I think I’ll do as you suggested. Thanks
