Just posting this here, not sure what if anything can be done about it, but this check in is a complete fake. this guy checked into a beer that was homebrewed by my buddy locally in Indianapolis, The check in occurs from a person in Singapore. Is there any punishment for people who obviously check into beers that they clearly can't get? This is a blatant attempt to cheat the app, maybe they should be removed from the site?

   Hey Kevin,

   Sorry about that - I've got rid of this check-in off your feed by make the issue private. Users can check-in to anything they want on Untappd, and they usually do not check-in into Homebrews. Some users around the world tend to cheat for badges.

   I've made this user private and flagged that check-in in our system so it won't show up in your feed.

   Again - I apologize for this situation and thanks for the support!

   Thanks,
   Greg

   thanks Greg, i just struggle to understand why people would do that, but if
   it makes them happy then so be it. we were just upset that he only gave
   the beer 3 caps in the rating, lol

   appreciate your help!
