    I would ask the member who owns the pictures, but I would say it's fake if the seller took the pictures from him.



    It's good that you use Google's reverse image search, as it's a good way to see if anyone's using someone else's photo. Also when buying, I usually ask the seller to show me the item with a random word that I choose written on paper next to it. If he doesn't comply, I don't buy.

    This is a good process to follow. At another forum, they even require all sellers to take unique photos with the forum and user name in them for authenticity.



    It's sad that it's come to this.

    Indeed, but a little ounce of prevention is always a pound of cure! Watermarks with unique screen names also helps.
