New post about photos stolen from portals accepted in other countries and that are used to create fake waypost in Foz do Iguazu and nearby cities.
CASE I:
Fake waypost order location: -25.4772393,-54.6222582
Actual location of the waypost: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=-27.913531,-55.746931&z=17&pll=-27.913531,-55.746931
CASE II:
Fake waypost order location: -25.522176,-54.587655
Actual location of the waypost: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=-23.403897,-57.446043&z=16&pll=-23.403897,-57.446043
It is becoming a very common practice in these cities to steal photos from other cities in other countries or from the same country to use them to create fake wayposts and hopefully they will be suspended and they can no longer make waypost requests
