Hi Robert,
Thanks for reporting it.
At first glance, it looks like pretty obvious spam to me - I suspect
they've searched for "IT Services" and updated something that matched
that. There have been lots of these, mostly in the US, but increasingly
elsewhere. Obviously the tricky bit is allowing businesses to add
themselves to OSM without problems, but still detecting and dealing with
the rubbish like this. I've mentioned it internally (to the person in
the Data Working Group who's been mostly dealing with these) to see if
he wants to do anything with it beyond a simple revert, but I suspect
it'll be gone very shortly.
Best Regards,
Andy
