    Trick Tips
    Okay yesterday I asked about fake Facebook profiles and two people gave me good answers but today I have another question. Does anyone know any ways to kind of figure out if something is probably fake?

    Does it seem fake? It probably is. Do you have reason to doubt it? Then doubt it.

    Assume everything on the internet is a lie unless proven different and you won't be all that inaccurate.

    Well how can it be proven different?

    It depends on what you are talking about. A Facebook page?

    Well yeah for the most part. You brought up "everything on the Internet" and I didn't think of any of that but it's a good point.

    Facebook is user generated. There is no way to "prove" anything on it other than there was a valid email address registered... which proves nothing other than someone created an email address.

    If there is a doubt, assume its fake/lie/untrue.
