Many Fake Wayspots Accepted
Hi,
There's an area, named Nagarukhra (located around 22.941039,88.636355), in West Bengal, India filled with fake portals. One of them is my own submission. My nomination was accepted in early 2020 and this one has come in 2021 so it's pretty obvious that the nominator of these are doing creepy work. Please do take necessary strict actions against them. These people are just wasting the system of Wayfarer. Also please do verify each of the portal in the area to find all the fake ones. I am attaching my nomination proof and the portal link to both original and fake one for your assistance.
Regards,
Mysticjit

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @Mysticjit-PGO! I'll pass along your report internally for review. In case, we have any information to share, I'll follow up here. I appreciate your patience until then.
Thanks @NianticGiffard for taking a look at this one. I would appreciate if that portal and the person who had stolen my image and submitted the fake portal get disappeared from the game network soon. Looking forward to your reply.
Hi @NianticGiffard is there any update on this report? I can still see the fake portal in intel map.
@NianticCasey-ING @NianticKN-ING @NianticGiffard Is there any update on this issue. My portal image is being stolen and I reported with all the proofs. Yet nothing is happening. That fake portal is still in place. Why this kind of nonsense being tolerated in Wayfarer system?
I understand your concern there. Our team is looking into several fake reports at the moment hence the delay. That being said, I have followed up with the team to prioritize yours. I appreciate your patience until you hear from us.
Thanks @NianticGiffard for the response and following up to the team regarding my report. I will definitely wait for your response to all the fake hub I reported. :)
Hi @NianticGiffard I was looking into this reported area closely and found another fake portal live. I am pretty sure there are many more. Here's the one I found to be fake:
