Fake proposal and strange mural
When evaluating in Wayfarer, I repeatedly received fake suggestions from a place in Poland. Bad photoshop.
And just now I got an information board with a watermark that was photographed on the screen from the same place.
What struck me a lot more, however, was one of the already accepted wayspots: It doesn't seem to fit the satellite view and also seems to thematically glorify the war, should something be a wayspot? That seems very suspicious to me:
Location: 51.974353,15.525581
Photo:
But I am also irritated by all the other wayspots in the place.
For example, at the wayspots at the coordinates "51.973449,15.524942" and "51.973068,15.524489" you can see the same fence and an information board in the background, which gives me the impression that they are actually right next to each other, if at all would have to.
The wayspot at the coordinates "51.974964,15.525884" also seems strange to me. It shows a stone right in front of a house entrance - but according to the satellite there is no house there - and even if it were, it would be private. Maybe I see things that aren't there, but that should be checked, right?
What also struck me are all the image formats there, very small and narrow, as if one has cropped everything and wants to hide something.
Comments
Now I have also found the photos from the photo shop fake mentioned above. It should be clear to everyone that the stone has no plaque. That looks more than unrealistic and should be punished as abuse.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @Brukterra-PGO! We'll have this investigated.
Hi @Brukterra-PGO! We have reviewed the report and have taken action on the Wayspots and 3 Wayfinders in accordance with our policies. While we are unable to discuss our actions in detail to protect the submitter’s privacy, they may include, but are not limited to, sending a warning message, placing restrictions on their Wayfarer, Pokémon GO, or Ingress account, putting their account on probation, or placing a temporary or permanent suspension on their Wayfarer, Pokémon GO or Ingress account. Thanks for helping us maintain the quality of the Wayspots.
Oh, that's tough. I only suspected that something could not be right there, but that everything will be deleted there and people are also being warned, shows that I was right.
By the way, when I look at the wayspot at the coordinates "51.975278,15.52097", I find that the distance from the wayspot to the forest does not match the photo. If the object really exists there, it should be much closer to the forest, right?
Otherwise, good job 🙂
@NianticGiffard
Oh man. These people don't learn. The warning was probably not enough. At least now I know for sure that it is a fake, because the same photo was used again. Because there is simply no other ...
After switching from satellite to the Roads view, I take back my statement that I posted in this comment here, so I have edited this comment here.
@xXNORxMCMLXVx-PGO Thank you for pointing out to me that it is now pending evaluation again.
And the same images are used again.

@NianticGiffard
And the fake is online again, along with another one. Will you take care of it, please?
@NianticGiffard
Thanks for the follow-up! We'll have it investigated.
We have reviewed the reported Wayspots and have taken action on the Wayspots and Wayfinder in accordance with our policies. Thank you!
That was fast! One can rely on you! Good man! Many Thanks!
Subsequent note: It is currently 11:12 p.m. and the wayspots can still be seen on the Intel or seem to still exist. - Hopefully not much longer.
While I was sleeping, a friend sent me screenshots from Wayfarer again. Again fake attempts with an unsuitable image of the surroundings, again with watermarks - and logically, the already existing wayspot cannot even be seen in the surroundings photo.
And the wayspots at "51.974357,15.52554" and at "51.973495,15.524894" are still online. Why?

I'll have it checked with our team again. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi there, @Brukterra-PGO! We have made the necessary changes and you should notice them soon.
Well, let's see how long it lasts until the guy tries again. I will keep you informed until he gives up or you take action to finally put an end to fakes.
51.973511,15.524952
Take another look?
Sure, thanks for the follow-up!
No problem I like to help.
Of course I have no evidence that this is a fake, but if you consider that information boards were constantly faked there before, I assume that it will not be any different this time. As they say? "Anyone who lies once is not believed"? :)
The Wayspot still exists and there have been more. What is the status of your reviews?
@NianticGiffard Take a look at this Photoshop-Fake Memorialstone and the Duplicates there.
The fake Mural has already been accepted again. Just like the information boards there. Again with the same photos. It doesn't exist, so there aren't any other images of the object. Please remove the fakes and permanently block the player who submits them. How often should I report this to you? He keeps going on!
I apologize for the delay there. We have reviewed the report again and have taken action on the Wayspots and the Wayfinder involved in accordance with our policies.
Thanks!
I would like to ask this question for fun, but I am serious about the following: Have you finally banned the player or do I have to keep watching the ****? It can't be that he just keeps going! 🤮
Sadly, I can't share the actual action taken on the player in order to protect the submitter's privacy. Rest assured, appropriate action was taken against them.
It was clear that you couldn't give a statement, I understand that. But I also hope that you understand that I am annoyed to report to you several times, then always to hear that you have done something and the person just continues. These cheaters don't take this seriously and should be eliminated for good.
