Could be that there is a total AND time factor built into the system

Surprice, surprise… i have just reclaimed another clients listing and validated it via phone…. AND IT WORKED!!!

So whatever was “blocking” me from the service last week appears to have “disappeared” today?

Will keep you posted if I get blocked again…

@Dean

Go look up “proxy server” in your favorite search engine. You will find lists of servers you can use, often specifying the country of the IP location for that server. Basically it allows you to surf the web with your pages framed through that site, masking your IP address by making it look like you are at that other IP. Some of these proxy server are anonymous with no identifiable IP, or the IPs are changing on a regular basis. The proxy’s in those lists change all the time.

“I then decided to go through a proxy and it worked – coincidence maybe?”

Excuse my lack of knowledge here, but what is the best way to go “through a proxy” and use a different IP Address?

Please advise…

What support email did you find? I doubt that it actually provides support.

It’s not working in the US either. Google is apparently aware of problems but does not seem to be fixing. They have erroneos info associated with my info (a wrong website). I’ve tried to verify, edit, delete, recreate etc….. Also, I did not create the 1st incorrect Maps Listing.

I am very frustrated. I finally found the support e-mail and got an automated response but it’s been over 48 hours as they suggest it will take to correct and it hasn’t been corrected and still no verification.

And, there is no longer a live Tech Person you can speak with.

Again, very frustrated.

@George

I think not (a coincidence that is).
