Someone is creative...
Today while reviewing I found this:
This was the same nature panel found two days ago I haven't had enough time to check.
So this time I take time to check this panel.
It's linked to the https://www.centrejeanmariepelt.com/ (circle top) which is located in Rodemack (circle down) 600km away from the submission !
And this time again, in an open field, you can see the same 6 panels related to river or swamps and saying they are in Migne-Auxances, 10 km away.
(You can see the name of the right place, 10km away north, on the second and third pictures)
Comments
such counterfeit places will be around the world all the time until niantic blocks all its games from adding photos from the phone's memory while taking / submitting nominations.
it should be different. at the time of submitting something to the game, it should only be possible to take photos with the camera from a mobile phone and the top requirement from the application to add a proof with a spherical photo that this place is there
in addition, the gps should not allow you to move away from this place in order to take photos of an object not located in this specific place
In addition I found third cluster with the same stolen wayspots again :
Title of the Wayspots:
- Le.s amphibiens connus et meconnus (again !)
- Le poirier sauvage (not yet accepted)
- Le monde des petites bêtes
Location : 46.543732,0.283789
City: Fontaine-le-Comte
Country: France
While reviewing this (stolen) wayspot
With the logo on the down, we can see the original is stolen from the city of La Boissiere-de-Montaigu (160km away)

This submission is supposed to be located in someone's backyard :
While looking at the others stops located in this private garden I found a well known one, "Le.s amphibiens connus et meconnus" :
Stolen from Pre Arme in Migne-Auxances, 10 km north as well as the new one, "Le monde des petites bêtes", which mention the Auxances river, which doesn't flow in Fontaine-le-Comte
https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxance
A new stolen panel was submitted at the same place...
As you can see the background doesn't match the place at all.
The wayspot is in bushes and trees while the location is an open field with houses in construction.
And another one :
Title of the Wayspot : L'eglantier
Location : 46.5651, 0.2972
City: Vouneuil-sous-Biard
Country: France
The background doesn't match at all with where it is supposed to be.
As the last one, this nature panel is stolen from here as you can see with the logo on the right side, down
*****UPDATE*****
Title of the Wayspot : L'eglantier
Location : 46.5651, 0.2972
City: Vouneuil-sous-Biard
Country: France
There is a brand new Google Street view of the area !
The total absence of any of the stolen wayspot is now more evident.
I also have time today to take geotaged pictures of the stolen wayspots at there real location :
-Le Gingko biloba
-Le.s oiseaux... Sur terre et dans le ciel
-Le.s prairies humides et leur richesses
-La riviere et ses berges
-Le.s amphibiens connus et meconnus
Do I need to provide other evidences or is it under investigation now?
Thank you for the removals.
There is still two stolen wayspots at
Location : 46.5651, 0.2972
City: Vouneuil-sous-Biard
Country: France
Wayspot name : Le chataignier
Wayspot name : Le Poirier sauvage
They are both stolen from the same place, as they have the logo of this local association, they are 160 km away from their real locations.
I added a photosphere of the place. You can see it's in a middle of a newly built suburb, not anywhere where a nature panel can be.
Also a geotaged picture of the fake location of Le Poirier sauvage :
