Another two shady nominations - Potential abuse

Hello, I'm here again to report some shady nominations.

I already reported something that looked highly suspicious here: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/comment/159948#Comment_159948 and I'm glad to see it got removed.

I checked again near that location to see if the abuser got anything else through. It seems he did.

Nomination number 1:

Title: Cartello informativo Paderno-Dugnano

Location: https://www.google.com/maps?daddr=45.58114,9.164433

Why I'm reporting it: looking on streetview, this seems a generic notice board for obituaries (necrologi in italian = obituaries). The wayspot photo is really poor quality, but it looks photoshopped because it's very unlikely that a notice board for obituaries gets replaced with a nature information bulletin board.

Moreover, this wayspot doesn't have a pedonal access because it's directly on the road with no sidewalk (who would put a bulletin board directly on a road where pedestrians can't walk?)

Nomination number 2:

Title: Cartina Informativa - Egro "In Egar"

Location: https://www.google.com/maps?daddr=45.581079,9.164791

Why I'm reporting it: it looks like the abuser used his usual "cheat" by deliberately uploading a photosphere in the wrong location to trick reviewers to confirm the location of the wayspot in a wrong place. As you can see in the video right away, the photosphere shows something really similar to a woodland with trails and rocks. By checking the satellite view and the "legit" google streetview photos, you can bet the location of the photosphere can't be there: the satellite view shows a simple meadow with no trees, while streetview confirm there is no woods, but only a private property with a fence.

I kindly request niantic to double-check this shady nominations and, if confirmed fake, take appropriate actions upon them and those who proposed them.

Thank you!
