Hi, I recently signed up and went green for someone, but they said that I wasn't showing on his referral list. Then I asked for a screenshot of his referral list, and he did. But by analyzing the screenshot, it seems to me that he cut out my email address and replaced it with another one. But by just looking at the screenshot, it is hard to tell that this is the fact. I am sure that I signed up under his referral link correctly. I even sent a support ticket to freepay and they replied me that I have signed up under the correct referral ID. What can I do to prove that I am in fact showing on his referral list and went green since it is not easy to tell from the screenshot that it was altered?

If it's a small site, they might tell you if you were referred by someone. Not sure about larger sites though. Maybe you could post the screenshot or PM it to me so others can see if it looks altered.

Ok, ilanbg has confirmed that it definitely has been photoshopped.

I'll gladly take a look at it for you

I can usually tell considering I used to photoshop for a living

It's a pretty good photoshop (undetectable to the naked eye) but once you zoom in to about 600% you can measure it and see that it's been photoshopped.

Here is a snippet of the screenshot. The first EMail is the one that is the one that is thought to be photoshopped in

Here's what to comapre
[quotebd2e6b39e6]It looks to me as though email==yeah104@juno.comyeah104@juno.com=yeah104@juno.comyeah104@juno.com/email was pasted on top of my email=. If you compare the position of the '@' sign for all the email addresses, you'll see that the one for email=yeah@juno.comyeah@juno.com. If you compare the position of the '@' sign for all the email addresses, you'll see that the one for email=yeah@juno.comyeah@juno.com/email is positioned higher, and if you look at the 'y', you'll see that it's positioned a little to the right compared to the other email addresses. You may need to enlarge the image by a lot to notice it.[/quotebd2e6b39e6]

You'll have to actually measure the position relative to the green happy face in order to notice the difference. I didn't find anything wrong with it and didn't analyze it at first, until freepay support confirmed that I was in fact signed up under him.

Yes, it really sucks to be cheated x

And to the naked eye you can kind of see that there is white around the top one but not around the bottom one..The colors don't match up.

It looks like I'm not the only one being scammed by evoviiigsr. Several others went green for him and also never got paid.

you know what I love about scammers?

True scammers NEVER come here to defend themselves.

I was gonna trade with him, and I had the higher TR, and he kinda didn't wanna do the trade...i guess this is why...not easy to fuck someone when you 're the one paying first.

i also went green for him instantly but he said that i am not in his referal list! he sent me a screenshot and it looks like it was photoshoped too. its hard to contact him and he only responds like once in a day. i contacted freepay and asked if i was in his referal list and they confirmed it. GIVE ME MY MONEY!!! evil

dyzzle sent me the screenshot that he got. It's easier to tell that it's been altered compared to mine

There are 2 email addresses that were tampered with in his. I can't believe this guy's photoshop skills aren't even improving ?

I think I shall make a bumper sticker that scammers should be run over by mac trucks. Sorry you got scammed - that really sucks but hopefully the people who were can do something about it.
