A computer implemented method, a computer program product and a computer system are disclosed that verify the location specified by a mobile device, for example when trying to gain access to a location-restricted service hosted by a computer system. This may be achieved by identifying at least one reference mobile device in the vicinity of the identified location of the first mobile device of which an identified location is to be verified, requesting from the at least one reference mobile device a reference location report including further pairing information identifying mobile devices with which the reference mobile device is paired; receiving the reference location report from the at least one reference mobile device; and verifying the location identification in a first location report received from the first mobile device by identifying the first mobile device in the further pairing information in the received at least one reference location report.
