Bogus Skimmer Spots

[928bolo]

I use the DXLab suite of software to help me chase DX. One of its modules is SpotCollector. I have it set up to sound an alarm on my PC and to send me an email when a DXCC I need is spotted.

CW Skimmer and Skimmer for FT8 has been a game changer to help me chase DX. But busted calls are a PITA. If only the two shown below were real!

And more. Had to turn the alarm off.

I'm unfamiliar with all the digital stuff. Are they faking a callsign from a real location or are they faking a location as well?

They are not fake. Its just software decoding callsigns incorrectly.
