Spoofing

Niantic won’t take action through app so I am writing here for immediate action to be taken against users in photos. They have been spoofing gyms local to me all day & haven’t physically been at any of the locations whatsoever. I need them to be removed from Pokémon Go immediately. I have photographic proof of spoofing as it occurred & even took photos of the locations showing that no one was there. Plus some were inaccessible at this time due to 8+ Inches of snow on the ground. Something needs done immediately & this is the only way. All accounts in the photos are spoofing & need removed immediately

These accounts are continuing to spoof where I live. Can you please place a ban on them Niantic
I am knocking them off of the gyms & using all of the golden razz berries that I have. By not removing them I am being cheated while someone sets at home on their couch & knocks me off of gyms. Totally not fair!!!!!!!!
Did you know this is not related to Wayfarer, and you should report them using the form in Pokemon GO support page?
Doesn’t work. They aren’t doing anything about it that way
@patsufredo-PGO ive done that tons of times. I removed a guy from my local discord for spoofing so now he has a bunch of spoofers reaping havoc on the town I live in
I’m just over it. I’m tired of Niantic allowing this. I’m to the point to where I walk away from the game myself. My feelings are just hurt. I hope that makes sense. It’s just not fair that they’re cheating from home with a joystick & im having to run back & forth from location to location
No one should have to put up with someone spoofing. If a user is caught they need to be banned
There are so many spoofers spoofing where I live right now that there is no physical way I could report them all. At least 7 accounts that I’m seeing. I can see around every location as well. There is nowhere where someone could hide. There is 8 inches of snow. I just wish someone from Niantic would handle spoofers instead of filing it away for later. It only causes more problems
Niantic wont do anything through this forum my dude. Best thing to do is to just go to different gyms while spoofers take that one. Its rough when they play
Just report them in game via support is the best answer. You won't know when or if they will take action. Niantic usually bans in waves after investigating, but they also tend to give players a chance to repent and stop. Most don't and get banned eventually.
Thanks for the lively discussion on this thread, @TheZodiac007-PGO! Based on the content of the discussion, I will be closing it for future comments. I appreciate your understanding.
