A user who created Wayspot with multiple accounts and fake Street Views (Daejeon, South Korea)

Common items for all Wayspots

  • City: Daejeon
  • Country: South Korea (Republic of Korea)


This user has created a number of fake Wayspots for himself. And he deliberately submitted Waspots in wrong places.


Google maps accounts with fake Street Views:

  1. https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113076129740605330278/photos/
  2. https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115468649751037091266/photos/
  3. https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114319980543258782150/photos/

Most of the fake street views have already been removed.


In this post, I report 54 Wayspots.




Overview for No.1-2

These invalid Wayspots are walls of an elementary school.

Taken location: 36.331805,127.391943





No.4

Title of the Wayspot: 공원 놀이터

Location: 36.338146,127.386801

No.6

Title of the Wayspot:

Location: 36.335844,127.390801

Reason: Photo was taken at 29m away.

As you can see from Naver Map Street View and Kakao Map, the original location is a parking lot and electric vehicle charging station. Therefore, it is not a good place for pedestrians to explore. Not only this Wayspot, but also another Wayspot "나무벽화" on the left as well.


Taken location: 36.335594,127.390688





No.7

Title of the Wayspot: 광혜교회

Location: 36.334006,127.388189

Reason: He deliberately created this Wayspot on 16m away from correct location. It's not that he accidentally submits Wayspots in an incorrect location. There are dozens more cases of deliberately creation to different buildings. Also, don't forget that he's the person uploading fake Street Views.

Taken location: 36.333967,127.388007

No.11

No.15

Title of the Wayspot: 1년 365일

Location: 36.333463,127.391386

Reason: There is no mural which same as the mural in Wayspot photo. The most recent Naver Map Street View is more recent than this Wayspot photo. So, it is enough to prove that there is no mural.







No.16

Title of the Wayspot: 한마음 놀이터

No.21

    Could anyone please review this discussion which was posted 20+ days ago? @NianticLC @NianticVK @NianticOtoStar

  • NianticLCNianticLC Posts: 4,496 admin

    Hey @growgi-PGO! We have reviewed this report and taken action on the 51 Wayspots and the 5 Wayfinders 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.

    Also, due to insufficient evidence, we’re unable to take action on the reported Wayspot "1년 365일" in question. If you have additional evidence to share like geotagged images, please submit a new report with additional information and we’ll take another look. Thanks!
