At the moment, a fake Portal is in the Showcase in Germany, it is a duplicate of a portal showcased at the same time:
The first one seems to be correct, the second one is clearly fake, it is in the middle of a field... Don't know how that even got in the Showcase🤣

Fail . 😂
This is a well known issue. The "showcase" is not curated by Niantic at all, it just shows current waypoints chosen pretty much at random.
Ohh, i always thought these have been reviewed by Niantic.
By the way, shouldn't the showcase display why a portal is showcased since not long ago (WayFarer 3.3)? Have never seen that and wonder how that would work if no one from Niantic reviewed them...
Duplicate doesn't have to mean fake, it might have been submitted in good faith.
Still, the showcase is broken in so many ways it should just be removed.
Hmmm...the two trainer names sure are similar
Since the 2nd submission is at a meadow/field WITHOUT a tree like in the picture, my "fake-alarm" is triggered.
