Oldenburg steals from Neubrandenburg and other Cities
Something interesting was pointed out to me. The players of the city of Oldenburg steal photos from Wayfarer in order to submit fake Wayspots to themselves. Among other things, photos from the city of Neubrandenburg were used.

FAKES
1.)
Title of the Wayspot: Bunter Bücherschrank
Location: 54.290858,10.892544
City: Oldenburg
Country: Germany
Photos to support your claim:
Additional information: Original Wayspot "Bücherbox Oststadt" at "53.555941,13.295173"
The submitter of the original wayspot can certainly confirm this otherwise. @nicky788-ING
2.)
Title of the Wayspot: Stromkasten Schulkind
Location: 54.28621,10.896949
City: Oldenburg
Country: Germany
Photos to support your claim:
Additional information: Original Wayspot "Badendes Kind" at "53.550727,13.256709"
The photo used for the fake was definitely stolen from a Wayfarer photo review. Because the main photo of the original wayspot is currently outdated. The original Wayspot no longer shows a bathing child, but a (for the bus) waiting child. Therefore, while you're at it, you could also remove the old photo and rename the wayspot from "Bathing Child" (Badendes Kind) to "Waiting Child" (Wartendes Kind).
3.)
Title of the Wayspot: Stromkasten Jägermütze
Location: 54.287808,10.898886

OTHER
Stromkasten "Specht" (54.288774,10.893647)
The original location is on the plaque. The power box is somewhere in the federal state of Schleswig Holstein. Oldenburg, however, is in Lower Saxony.
/
Wildbienen- von Blumen und Hummeln (54.289002,10.895548)
The board mentions an endangered species of bee in the federal state of Schleswig-Holstein. As already mentioned, Oldenburg belongs to Lower Saxony. You can also see the yellow owl, the symbol for nature reserves, at the top left. But there is no nature reserve there. Also, the photo does not match the environment.

Das Insektenhotel (54.289269,10.896353)
Cropped photo. Cannot be enlarged. Also stolen photo.

A list of all stumbling blocks in Oldenburg can be found on Wikipedia. These are not listed there!
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Stolpersteine_in_Oldenburg_(Oldb)
There is even an article that states that the city of Oldenburg has decided against new stumbling blocks so that people don't step on them!
Incidentally, the original is in Hamburg and can be found on the following page.
Comments
Ich würde empfehlen, die Links zu überarbeiten, diese führen zu Oldenburg in Oldenburg und nicht Oldenburg in Holstein.
Danke für den Hinweis!
@NianticGiffard
I was just pointed out that the last wayspot in the list (the stumbling blocks) are real! The name of the city exists twice in Germany and I had apparently researched the wrong city.
Here is the proof that the stumbling blocks are correct!

That ist a Fake. The Pictures are from the Homepage https://malen-am-meer.de/aktuelles/stromkasten-bemalen-risum-lindholm/
Thanks for reaching out, @WayfarerMSE-PGO! We have reviewed the report and taken action on the 6 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.
However, due to insufficient evidence, we are unable to take action on the Wayspots "Stromkasten Specht", "Wildbienen- von Blumen und Hummeln ", "Das Insektenhotel", "Stromkasten Schwanenteich" and "Stolpersteine Familie Rosenblum", please share with us geotagged image/photosphere. Once we receive the requested information, we will proceed accordingly.
We appreciate you for helping us maintain the quality of the Wayspots.
I'm glad you didn't take any action against "Stolpersteine Familie Rosenblum". Because as written in my previous comment, that was a mistake on my part. This wayspot is correct. The others are still fake. I cannot provide any further evidence at this time. But I'll take care of it as soon as the opportunity arises.
