players use fake portals
in General
sorry for the english I use google translator, I'm new to the world of ingress and I wanted to have some information: I know more players who use fake portals to create big links and fields.
I wanted to know if there was a way to ban them or can I just cancel the fake portals?

You can report it if you can tap on it as an Invalid Portal, and then have to choose why. If Niantic reject the report (likely), then post in the Wayfarer forum here with the info they ask for.
Thank you very much , but for the players I can not do anything ?? Because if they use those portals who knows what else they do
A fake portal does not imply cheating. Some portals have been removed in real world and you can't find them. Forging portals is another thing and I've seen it when the community is a bit larger and there were cases described on Wayfarer.
Perfect thank you very much
Even if the portals are really fake because they were created recently. Anyway thanks again
They will probably reject your in-game report, when that happens, save a screenshot of the rejection mail and post it in the wayfarer forum,making a street view on the place where the fake portals are located will also be very helpful when they make a decision.
And cross your fingers that they review your post cause I've been waiting almost a month for a deleted portal rejection. Good luck
Also while you say they are fake portals they cant just be created at the snap of your fingers,its takes hard work to get to the point where you can create them in the first place and being there within 25km of the new portal location to submit them,then it has to go through a review process with people that are at the correct access level to access wayfarer to then be online to review the quality,location,description etc with quite a few tools.
Last i heard there was even an exam on the old pre-wayfarer system you had to pass to even cast a vote to then enable it into the game,so i dont know if this bit still exists.
All these extra features attracted me to Ingress more and more at the time i joined the game of the other games in Niantic's ToolBox.
Spoofers are a different kettle of fish altogether however.
Good look enjoying your journey and have fun while you can before a bug/glitch gets you like what happened to me.
Gather the evidence and expose it on wayfarer forum. We cannot help you without any details
Thanks for reaching out, @ilbarone21! If you haven't already, please submit an appeal on the Wayfarer forum. It will be shared with the dedicated team to investigate further.
Also, if you have evidence about the agents involved. Report them via in-app. One of our reps will take it from there.
