No, Google doesn’t pass this information over on. You can read more on the GBP Community Help Forum: https://support.google.com/business/thread/74929076/when-i-use-business-redressal-complaint-form-does-google-show-my-name-to-the-one-i-reported-sh?hl=en

Hey there, I can see how frustrating this is! I would drop a message on the Google Business Profile Community Help Forum where one of the Product Experts may be able to help. There’s no official documentation from Google about this yet, but may be a workaround. https://support.google.com/business/community?hl=en

I’ve been getting spammers trying to sell GMB Listing Optimization services via my profile. Can’t see a way to report the message as spam. Strangely this last message did not appear in Messages on my profile, but just came through to my inbox as an email from
Google Business Profile . Email headers show if definitely came via Google.com but no links in the message to report it. “Reply Now” links just reply to the Gmail address in the message. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c8d46a8ddc8b890d6692594f34a79fad57f6b9293d0e6b759e2c827bc49d6215.jpg
