I've had that happen at my work, but afaik it was just so that the location could be added to google maps. Someone who just wanted your business to be on google maps for some reason?

Google has a pretty streamlined process to take back control of these too so maybe its pretty commonplace.

We already had it listed, and he abused the recovery process (no idea how!) to get control over it. We managed to appeal to get it back. Nothing really happened other than that.
