Title of the Wayspot: Trafokunst Altentreptow
Location: 53.690816,13.247223
City: Altentreptow
Country: Germany
Screenshot of the Rejection Email: Earlier, I reported the Wayspot as "permanently removed" - which is actually incorrect because it never existed there. It's a fake.
Photos to support your claim:
A few weeks ago I was presented with a wayspot for evaluation (see screenshot above), which immediately struck me as suspicious because the location couldn't be right - it was also clearly a duplicate of a wayspot in the immediate vicinity. But even with this one, the location made no sense to me. So tonight I went to this city to check this out to see that I was right. The suggestion that I had to evaluate and the already accepted wayspot are fake. The following screenshots serve as evidence.
After searching for over an hour, I found the original on the dark evening - which is of course not a wayspot. The current location and the correct one are more than 300 meters apart. This is clearly abuse.
Correct Location: 53.692415, 13.251089
Additional information: I kindly ask you to move the wayspot to the right place and to punish the submitter of the successful fake - and the one who is probably still in the system. Thank you!

It looks like the location has been corrected successfully. Thank you very much. I hope the fakers got their punishment.
Hi there, @Brukterra-PGO!We have reviewed the report and have taken action on the Wayspot and 1 Wayfinder in accordance with our policies. While we are unable to discuss our actions in detail to protect the submitter’s privacy, they may include, but are not limited to, sending a warning message, placing restrictions on their Wayfarer, Pokémon GO, or Ingress account, putting their account on probation, or placing a temporary or permanent suspension on their Wayfarer, Pokémon GO or Ingress account.
Thanks for helping us maintain the quality of the Wayspots.
Today I tried to add a few new photos to the wayspot and had to find out that the location was corrected correctly in Ingress, but no synchronization in Pokémon Go took place and thus he still benefits from his fake home stop. Can the location also be corrected there?
Thanks for the follow-up! We'll look into it.
The location in Pokémon Go has now been corrected. Everything OK.
