McElwee told ABC Radio Darwinthat first, a guy showed up at his house wanting to deliver magazines to a pizza place. Then another person came asking about a job. Then his daughter was approached by people wanting to know their opening hours.

A Google spokesperson said it was aware of the error and had fixed it on Wednesday night. Phew!
