Strictly note discussions about cheating in the game (e.g. spoofing) is strictly forbidden.

Who are Spoofers?
- Basicly, someone who have been playing Pokemon Go the wrong way. They have hacked their phone or phone's GPS so they can move virtually anywhere anytime to catch and level up themselves.
- Spoofers have made the Pokemon Go game an unbalance and unfair game. eg. Real player are unable to win gyms due to spoofers' high levels.

How To Identify Spoofers?
- Frank speaking, it is difficult to identify true spoofers. Some high level players have been playing in other countries then came back to the country. There are even some Pokemon fans whom have been in hardwork playing many hours since the game's launch. In summary, some may look like spoofers but by actual they are not.
- Even though you are not sure, if you suspect one, you may report the spoofer. Niantic will still investigate the suspect to confirm your suspicion.

What Happens to Banned Users?
- They may receive Permanent Ban and will no longer be able to play with the banned account.

yea. thats how they identify the reporter but ppl can always change their nickname or use multiple accounts.

Nope. Only Niantic knows

So far I havent heard anyone had trouble reporting. But I believe Niantic is just banning Spoofers.

actually Niantic doesnt condone third party app that run on top the original experience.
So there's always potential to get banned for using other apps to view IV.

6 reports

Theres actually no specific timeline. but once noticable the spoofer was goner in 1 week or 2

You can report issues in niantic site.
