I used to be a designer. I know Photoshop inside and out. So I never believed any of the crazy screen shots I saw of certain Internet “Marketers” earnings, knowing how easy it is to edit anything in Photoshop.

But for those of you who don’t have retouching skills, I have found that it is even easier to dupe people than I had thought. All you need to know is how to type.

I’m literally stunned by this video. I know I’m not as naive as I used to be, but I hadn’t realized it could be that easy to fudge figures, let alone have someone show you how to do it. Shame; thanks for sharing.

Wow! I had a single mom friend who’s ex got caught Photoshopping copies of pay stubs and I’m good enough with graphics myself to know how to edit stuff, but I had no idea it could be done like that!

Good thing I never fell for those screen shots!

I am not familiar with changing a screenshot that way, but since I edit videos all the time, I know it’s very easy to do if you just have a few tricks up your sleeve.

Too bad we can’t edit our bank accounts like that, now, isn’t it? LOL

It’s really sad, because, where I’d read about this last week, the person was informing us that it happens and not to always believe screenshots - like you are - but, the guy in the video is ‘instructing’ us how to do it! ::shakes head::

If you want to see fake screen shots and real people getting scammed everyday, just have a look at the threads of the forums at digital point.
If you don’t want to be scammed, STAY AWAY from there.
You have been warned !

Wow now this is an eye opener. Great Info. It seems like more and more people and starting to scam. Thank you very much for this.

I have always been suspicious about those who make huge claims in their earnings, especially those whos sites have zero pr and an alexa rank way bigger then one million. You supplied even more proof!

Thanks.
