Hi Dan,

Yes, I actually updated the listing about 2 months ago since I saw that spammy titles worked well. I checked it then and it was fine after my changes.

Today I tried to fix it and went through what would appear to be good protection against trying to steal the listing. Now we will have to wait up to 4 weeks for the update to fix the URL according to the message from the telephone verification.

Wow.

Have you done the Google Local registration? I would hope that a registered business at least wouldn't be subject to this kind of error.
