I'm having a bit of an odd problem with google places... If i go to any listing on google maps and click edit details, then sign in using a google account (which is new and has no places or anything set) I get a pop up which says 'This place has been claimed in Google Places and can only be edited by the owner.', I follow the link to google places where I can edit the listing... sure, I have to confirm its me either by getting a pin over the phone or by text, but I could simply change the phone number of the listing to mine, recieve the pin and take over the listing... Is that right? I have a few listings set up on places, surely its not that easy?
Any help would be great

Have done some searching and it appears that this is correct or at least possible, I cannot believe it is that easy and I can't see a way to safeguard against it!
