Here are a lot of threads about how to deal with bad faked reviews. I have an especially ashholish competitor. He writes positive reviews on g+.

• profiles are just a couple of weeks old
• no followers
• obviously fake CV
• fake pictures which can be found by image search
• reviews stuffed with keywords as if I had hired a bad SEO to create some reviews

How should I handle that? If I do nothing customers will assume that I fake reviews. Or if google looks at these reviews they will assume it.
If I report them myself I am concerned that they will have a closer look at my site. Obviously I dont want that...

What do you suggest?

I heard that google checks new reviews algorithmically. Should I wait if they get deleted without me reporting them? Any clue how long this would neet?

Just wait in my opinion. You can always contact Google if you have a problem with your G+ page later (page got removed for example).

Get legit reviews- build content, backlink your G+ page. Build citations, and outrank him.
