Fake Submissions - best way to report these.

I've just been doing a block of reviewing and come across 2 almost identical fake nominations where someone has removed a valid trail marker and is generating fake submissions by photographing the marker in different locations. So far, they are fairly easy to spot if you have done a lot of reviewing and the official trail map show the route of the trail is a mile or so away from the nominated locations. Also, the guy doing this is chatting to his mates about it in the local Group chat.

My concern is that some of these will get through. I've given both submissions a "1* - Abuse - Fake Nomination" rejection with details in the text box and made other reviewers aware. Is there any other way to flag these up to Niantic so they can take action quickly regarding these submissions and the reviewer?
