Hello,
Seems that despite having fake stops removed, these are now being added again. In order to make their case more convincing, the perpetrators are creating fake Google Maps POIs where they submit a 5* review under Pokemon names.

In the picture of the fake portal you can clearly see that part of it has been poorly edited to remove reference to the original place where the educational board is from and change the color saturation.
