Substitution of GPS and a very strong pest

Good afternoon, dear Niantic.

On Monday, March 1, 2021, agents from the city of Korolev for the spoofing account were prevented from conducting an FA operation. 

MagikSky and SantaManda.


These accounts were banned, but before that (today) they managed to spoof elsewhere. MagikSky painted a hard to reach portal, which served to create a lot of fields worth over a million MJ, as well as a huge number of links, interfering with the recreation of the original portal, and coming from the hard to reach portals as well:

20:09:14 .559 <MagikSky> deployed a Resonator on Удивленный Котэ

20:09:29 .780 <MagikSky> linked Удивленный Котэ to Отпечаток великана

20:09:14 .559 <MagikSky> captured Удивленный Котэ

20:08:43 .004 <MagikSky> linked Кот авиатор to Миг 21

20:08:49 .957 <MagikSky> linked Кот авиатор to ДДТ

20:08:18 .226 <MagikSky> captured Кот авиатор

20:08:18 .226 <MagikSky> deployed a Resonator on Кот авиатор

20:06:07 .468 <MagikSky> deployed a Resonator on ДДТ

20:06:27 .719 <MagikSky> captured Футбольное поле

20:06:27 .719 <MagikSky> deployed a Resonator on Футбольное поле

20:02:13 .411 <MagikSky> linked Район Преображенское to Преображенский воркаут

20:02:14 .171 <MagikSky> linked Район Преображенское to Футбол - баскетбол

20:02:14 .171 <MagikSky> created a Control Field @Район Преображенское +5 MUs

20:02:03 .991 <MagikSky> captured Район Преображенское

20:02:03 .991 <MagikSky> deployed a Resonator on Район Преображенское

20:01:09 .763 <MagikSky> linked Футбол - баскетбол to Преображенский воркаут

20:00:40 .656 <MagikSky> captured Преображенский воркаут

20:00:40 .656 <MagikSky> deployed a Resonator on Преображенский воркаут

20:00:51 .227 <MagikSky> linked Преображенский воркаут to Красная горка

20:00:30 .763 <MagikSky> linked Футбол - баскетбол to Горкопаровоз

20:00:05 .742 <MagikSky> captured Футбол - баскетбол

20:00:05 .742 <MagikSky> deployed a Resonator on Футбол - баскетбол

19:59:14 .310 <MagikSky> linked Горкопаровоз to 2050

19:59:19 .564 <MagikSky> linked Горкопаровоз to Свято-Спиридоньевская Богадельня

19:58:46 .412 <MagikSky> deployed a Resonator on Горкопаровоз

19:56:54 .343 <MagikSky> deployed a Resonator on Тренажеры


Most of the interfering links were also laid from inaccessible portals (for example, the closed territory of a business center, the territory of a military hospital), which makes it even more difficult to eliminate the consequences of the spofer by their own forces (especially spofer pest of the same color as me and my team)


Please promptly remove from the map all the consequences of MagikSky's actions, as well as restore the supporting portal: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=55.786199,37.65056&z=17&pll=55.786199,37.65056

Everywhere in the news ingress write about the great success in the fight against cheaters, but the team of agents enlightened in moscow notices only an increase in their number, and the lack of your reaction to our messages and reports. 

Yes, this account is banned, but the damage to me and my team he caused enormous, and the consequences of his actions we are still observing. 

In my opinion, the person who creates all these numerous spoofing accounts, from which the enlivened team in moscow and the region is constantly disturbed, is very familiar with the area, local players, and probably has an "honest" account and is well known in the moscow ingress community.

I don't know the technical capabilities of Niantic, but I hope that there is a way to identify the operator and ban him, and that you will hear us and make a really good investigation.

I really hope that the game of Ingress in my country will be fair, such people will be promptly banned, and the consequences of their actions will promptly disappear from the cards.

    The problem remains actual in our region for years. You can see my previous posts https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/13393/another-spoofing-incident-in-korolev , they led to the fast ban of spoofing accounts, but it looks like the accounts of operator and the ones supplying spoofers with items are apparently not punished.

    The previous banned spoofer in Moscow also had information about when the honest resistance agent was going to drop the field to start crossing simultaneously, the exact same moment. That definitely means the operator of the spoofing account is in the local resistance community. Well that's just the way they chose to play and we just have to deal with it, I guess.

    Colaborating with a cheater makes you a cheater too. This is not an isolated incident. If that community does not even try to outcast them, then you can very well asume they are all cheating and the game will just end.

    Personally, I want to keep playing, laying down fields, earning MU in our city, winning cycles. I don't want to end the game because of nasty circumstances like this.

    Dear Niantic!

    It's Friday already, but the portals occupied by already banned accounts are still standing. And what's more, someone is charging them. 

    There is a suspicion that the operator of these spoofer accounts has already started to pump new accounts for the same purposes.

    Please note the "Миг 21" portal https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=55.806801,37.666352&z=17&pll=55.806801,37.666352

    None of the enlightened agents I know will charge this portal. It is located on the territory of a military hospital, and trivially no one has the keys to this portal. The situation is the same with the other portals occupied by the already-banned MagikSky.

    This area is very important to the Moscow enl community. There constantly play agents, conduct operations together, but alas, because of the actions of the cheater we had to cancel everything and stop playing in our area. Some links we can not destroy physically, because we do not have access to portals, such as the earlier example of "Миг 21".
