are these competitors close by? if not why say you are in a location apart from ranking = they lose the business and undermine value of Places

I'm not sure how they are doing it. Google Places sends you a postcard to the address you specify, so not sure how they are getting past that. They must be setting up mailboxes in major cities throughout the U.S. A great way to get ranked high and free in Google! Also scammy if you ask me.

"can be done with phone call and think you may be able to edit it changed later"
Google is primarily doing postcard verification now. They only do phone for listings they have a lot of trust in. So new 'fake' address should trigger postcard verification. But these listings were probably done before verification got stricter.
Any time you change name, address or phone it will trigger a new verification so you can't really verify and then edit later.
