Butt-dialled Google review- is this possible?

In my inbox this morning was an email from Google, forwarding a response from a very disgruntled plumber to a one-star review I had apparently left via Google maps. The thing was- I had never heard of this plumber, and certainly hadn't left a review. On checking, the mystery deepened- 3 one- star reviews of plumbers via Google maps, all live in the same area, all reviews left about the same time. (No comments left, just a single star rating)

I genuinely don't have anything against local plumbers, and can't explain this other than I've somehow managed to butt-dial several reviews? Anyone have an explanation for this?

That is shocking behaviour; you really have plumbed new depths.

I think you should publicly make a U-Bend on those reviews.

Is it possible you have been trying to subvert the working class in your sleep?

Bit of a cheek to ask, actually, old boy.

Maybe Google assistant? No matter how many times I try disable it the bloody thing keeps coming back. I can well believe that it hearing me talking to the wife about what's for tea as an instruction to leave a 1 star review.

I'd expect you to have a copper-bottomed explanation.

All it took was a quick tap on your phone and the local plumbers reputations are down the pan...

They're probably in a state of flux at the moment.

You should take the plunger and own up
