Spoofing in Western USA

Hey there, I would like to put in a report for GPS spoofing in the western part of USA. I live in a small town, but nearly everyday when I wake up a spoofer from overseas has already claimed every flower in the area and I’m left with only mushrooms. Without Big Flowers, the events are a lot harder to participate in.

Niantic needs to implement a way to report spoofing or improve detection. It seems like this problem is a lot worse overseas, so it would be nice if that is what makes them take this seriously

That’s crazy. Sad to say it’s happening pretty much everywhere by now.

I was hoping now that the college is back in summer session, the students would be planting and using the flowers but with spoofers monopolizing the flowers in the evening on a daily basis, flowers are on a blooming cycle schedule where the students have no opportunity to bloom flowers during the week while they are on campus.
