User: dewinck
Search for the username on the forum and see in which thread his name pops up quite frequently..... Some of his notes have been deleted on multiple occasions. Maybe he received the notes in Belgium but not in Spain or Estonia.

^^ I don't think these serial numbers are fake either, the user is just entering them under the wrong location.

Nothing makes me think they are "fake locations" or of anything suspicious. The notes most likely went to Mali from Portugal, yes, but not necessarily in PO_TRACKER's pockets (and maybe the notes back to Portugal for the matter).

Taking from the linked note's comment, PO_TRACKER was apparently among the Portuguese TACP (Tactical Air Control Party) team who have been to the Koulikoro Training Camp (this). One of the EBTor's team mates may have brought the banknotes with them. Earlier, the EBTor had acquired other notes from the same source at Bamako.

A :flag-es: newby user is entering his notes from :flag-es: Madrid, but with incongruous postcodes. Only today, and attending to the postcodes, he has registered notes from at least three different locations, none of them even close to Madrid itself. Like this one, for example, roughly 300 Km to the Southwest, or this one, almost 400 Km to the North.

I don't think we can do anything about that. Please don't plot those erroneous locations. They will ruin the database more if they are plotted than if they are not. I will explain exactly why when I finally post on the specialised Database forum the plotter + city admin manual I promised almost 2 weeks ago (sorry about the delay).

It looks like no one wants to notice about Su59069 (user 92321). He should live in Hamm, in the Ruhr area :flag-de: but he enters most of his notes in Radawie :flag-pl: (2601 notes in Hamm, 11907 in Radawie). If you take a look at his hitlist, you can see most of his hits are found by other user in the Ruhr area, which makes a lot of "coincidences".

Maybe Radawie is a big city with a lot of banks and it's easy to find Euronotes there?

Radawie on Google maps

Wikipedia about the Municipality where is Radawie

Oh no, Radawie is only a small village without bank in a small municipality of 4000 people.

I would say that the user is not directly faking locations. My assumption is that he/she gets the notes in the Ruhr-area, enters them in Poland (because he is there at that moment) and then takes them back to the Ruhr-area in Germany.
That would explain the large amount of hits with North-Rhine Westphalia to me.
