Spoofers in raids

Hello guys, when I was participating in some legendary raids i noticed that there are more participants than my friends present at that time. Since it was an open park, I'm pretty sure that no else were playing with us. If they are Spoofers will i get banned for playing with them?

No you dont.

They spoofed so they get banned (just kidding, Niantic isnt good at this)

But it happens all the time when we do legendary raids. Will that leads to me getting banned?

Not only is there pretty much zero chance that you'll get banned, the odds that the actual spoofers will get banned is very small. As long as you don't invite them to spoof, you're doing nothing actionable at all (and even that would be difficult to prove).

Relax and do your raids. No worries, except that too many spoofers might cut into your damage balls.

You are not going to be banned for something other players are doing.

Other people's rule breaking has absolutely zero bearing on you getting banned. What reason would Niantic have for banning rule abiding players over the actions of others?

I believe there are now more accounts that spoof than legit. Waves of spoofers move through my area constantly. I did an EX raid with 2 friends the other day. Nobody else was around but we figured deoxys was now easy to solo. At the start, the first lobby immediately filled and the second lobby immediately had 11 other trainers. So that’s 31 spoofers and 3 legit at that raid
