Title: Igreja Nossa Senhora Rainha da Paz
Lat, long: -3719380, -38660642
City:Caucaia. Country: Brazil
This portal was submitted on purpose on the wrong location.
True location of the portal is:
-3.7186531, -38.6590614
The same player is still trying to create even more fake portals on that location, as can be seen below, and should receive at least a warning in wayfarer.
This statue is a famous work of art and is located in another city.
there have been more attemps of fake portals at this location that are as of now still in the wayfarer system.
Please take action.

Thanks for helping us maintain the quality of the Wayspots.
Thanks for the assistance, the church is now on the proper location.
Hope the player stops sending fake submissions, we have too many of those already on wayfarer.
@NianticGiffard, hello.
As can been seen by the image below, on that location there are still new fakes submissions being sent.
The different pictures of the same statue shows it is a different fake nomination from the one on my first post.
It seems that further action needs to be taken to prevent abuse of the wayfarer system.
And the fakes keeping coming.
Please do something @NianticGiffard @NianticAaron
Both pictures used are fake as can be seen above. This is a waste of your players time.
This is the fourth instance of a fake portal on the same place.

Thanks for the follow-up, @Sifion-ING! We'll have them reviewed.
@NianticGiffard hello,
How hard is it to actually do something against people with no regard for the game?
I'm pretty sure it is quite proved this is indeed fake.
Hi @Sifion-ING! We have reviewed the report and have taken action on the Wayspot and the Wayfinder in accordance with our policies.

Hi @NianticGiffard, it seems the player has no intention of stopping with the fake submissions despite whatever action niantic took.
New fake submission just appeared in the same spot as can be seen by these prints that another wayfarer sent me:
The portal image is a 3d render and the support one is from a entirely different location as both images came from the internet.
Hope it gets resolved before being approved and if not, please look into the accounts that approved it, as they can be the same ones that approved the other fake (also in this thread) that got in and could be proof of players trying to influence the wayfarer system, an offense that can result in a ban.
Here are more fake nominations, even reusing fake pictures
