A couple of fakes

With one fake wayspot already existing and another in voting, I suspect there might be a serial faker behind these.

Location - 32.483575,35.107398

The church in the photo is St. Jude’s Chapel of Hope, located in North Carolina. The photo is obviously stolen and appears on many websites. The pin is located on PRP.

As for the existing fake that can be seen on the duplicates map - "Roaring Lion Monument", seen on Intel here - the photo is stolen from Wikipedia. The sculpture is located in Kfar Gil'adi, over 90 kilomters away from the location of the fake in Katzir. It has already got a wayspot in its real location.

Reported via the Google form, but also posting here just to be sure.

    Got another one -

    Location - 32.4836,35.108413 (just across the street) from the fake Roaring Lion from the previous post)

    Note that the main photo is a cropped version of the supporting photo (just as in the fake reported in the previous post - common in fake nominations). Couldn't find it on the internet but there's a strong chance it's a stolen photo, considering the context.

    As for the location - there is no massive marble building in this location (surprisingly enough... those aren't particularly common in Israel, especially not in tiny villages such as Katzir). According to the info on GovMap (the government mapping website) for this location, the actual building that is there is used as a kindergarten.
