Go the support page, but you’re going to need compelling evidence. For instance, repeated times he’s taken down a gym without being physically present or helping in raids despite his not being physically there. Things like that. ---

Yes, you needed a lot of luck as just what I have done before but to no avail. So I just move on, and find my own nest 😁 ---

Niantic probably won’t do much about spoofing because they spend more money in the game than legit spoofers. ![image](https://pokemongohub-forum-bucket-v2.s3.amazonaws.com/original/2X/f/f635713cc0db86e4067041c2d5a8752bc70adbb4.png) ---

Around here a lot of players will raid from the cozy confines of their car or apartment, if the gym in-question is within range for that. I certainly do that to the extent that I can when it’s raining. If you can show that there wasn’t an opportunity for that (e.g. if the gym is too distant from any place that a player could be hidden from your sight), then you might have more of a case. It seems to be one of the trade-offs of not showing physical locations of nearby trainers on the map (stemming, I suspect, from Niantic’s goal to prevent the game from being used as a tool for physically targeting others while they are playing). ---

And that adds another layer of complication to the matter. It’s honestly next to impossible to report spoofing proper, although I’ve found a few on Discord where one RSVPs at Raids that are two miles apart but five minutes hatch time apart…and he makes both of them. Yeah, likely. ---
