Do backlinks to google places listing boost rankings?

For example if i find the listing on google places and get the share link, then build backlinks to that share link, does this impact rankings?

It gives a slight ranking boost, but it's better to build links to your website.

I recently found a bunch of spam listings on google maps if you're interested I can share. I think it's all one guy because they all follow a certain pattern.
