Watch Out for Fake Proof

By Steven Holdaway. Posted in Random Internet Marketing | No Comments »

More and more people seem to be producing their own products promising success online. Although I’m sure that some of these products are genuine a lot of them are most likely scams or just people trying to slap stuff together without actually knowing how to succeed online.

A good way to stop these out is see if they offer proof screenshots. First off, you should know that proof screenshots can easily be edited to look like they are genuine so when examining the validity of these products you should take a close look at their proof pictures.

Here’s what you should do to see if the proof pictures have been edited:

  • See if the sales figures added together match the total amount displayed (if not, see if there’s an explanation).
  • Make sure the dates are all accurate.
  • If it’s a proof check, make sure the dollar amount equals what is written on the check.
  • See if the picture is blurry, unclear, or of poor quality.
    Also, if they are selling a product that claims to show you how to make money every single day through a steady and reliable traffic source, then their proof pictures should show steady and consistent daily income levels. If there are two days with $300 in sales and then one day with $2,400 in sales there’s a 99% chance that person send an email blast telling people to purchase their product.

    Usually, if the website or service offers a video proof of their income level then you should know that it’s valid and accurate.

    Here is an example of a fake proof picture as well as a proof picture displaying an email lauch.
