Examples of POIs that are moved repeatedly

①First of all, remember the shape of the roof of this object well.
②This is an application with Street View tied to it. I am applying for a small shrine.
But...
③ I was very surprised when I reviewed the proposed application here, because it was exactly the same one I had reviewed earlier...
④When I carefully searched other street views, I noticed that the same item was placed in a different location. This is an attempt to increase the POI by moving the object and applying for Street View each time.
It is unclear whether there will be an application for ③. However, since the object is exactly the same, we believe it is extremely likely that an application is being made in the vicinity.

So you think someone took the same object, and moved it to multiple places and took photospheres of it to try and get multiple Wayspots that don't actually exist?
This one has a suggestion for ②as well as ①. However, I only felt mild discomfort when I saw ②, so I did not capture the screen. Later, when I checked ①, I found that it was a forgery. There are other cases of intentional shifting of applications involving this Street View, and we are currently requesting an investigation. Please refer to the link.
Report. ①, ② and ③ could not confirm the existence of the object. For ③, a part of the image is disclosed because it may be private property.
①
②
③
Unfortunately, it seems that all the POIs that were applied for were false.
We believe that this case is closely related to the applicant of the link. Please give top priority to the investigation.
Again, I would like to report that we have confirmed that both applications for ① and ② have been submitted.

As I found out a while ago, there was an offer for ③ as well.
Now that you know the offer exists, I am attaching a photo I took the other day. You can see that the object does not exist.
The supplementary explanation of this offer says, "Street View has two shrines. This is a mistake made at the time of ****," indicating that the photographer of this Street View and the person who made the false offer are closely related.
The Street View photographer involved in this false offer also made a misplaced offer a few days ago. We are told that there are other false offers in other locations as well. If this continues, the damage will only spread.
Please do something. We are all fed up with it.
