A player who is known in the area for submitting fake wayspots has apparently moved and changed residence. Now there are fake wayspots in front of his old house and his new one. We will soon have the old ones deleted with evidence, but now the new ones ...
Title of the Wayspot: Bunter Stromkasten
Location: 53.78034,12.56843
City: Teterow
Country: Germany
Screenshot of the Rejection Email:
Photos to support your claim:
Additional information: Apart from the fact that this photo was clearly stolen from the Internet, you can see that the background does not match the surroundings at all.
Please also have a look at the other appeals I am creating today, as the fakes all come from the same person.

I had actually uploaded a photo sphere at the house, but he probably deleted it.

Appeal Accepted - Thanks for the appeal, Trainer. We gave this a second look and after reviewing the additional evidence provided, we've decided to retire the Pokéstop/Gym in question. We have taken action on the Wayfinders in accordance with our policies. Thank you!

After I recently proved that the electrical box there is fake ... it is probably not enough for the submitter to have been warned. He continues. See the following screenshots and photos from Wayfarer. I ran the photos through the backward search on Google and immediately found a hit. As you can see from the last link, the photos come 1: 1 from the Internet and are located at the other end of Germany. Definitely not there. Please take a close look at this. He seems unimpressed by the warning.

Thanks for flagging this! I'll share this internally for review and get back to you ASAP.
Hey @Brukterra-PGO, I see that the nomination in question has already been rejected by the community. Please remember that you can also report such nominations for abuse while reviewing them. Thanks,
Nice that the fake attempt was denied, but that doesn't mean he won't try again. I would prefer if you finally do something about it and prevent him from continuing.
