HOW TO SPOT RELIABLE PROOF?
- Proof shows @ of the winner
- Proof contains a receipt of an order or shipment
- Proof = a video with a visible @ of the winner
- Proof shows @ of the winner
- Proof contains a receipt of an order or shipment
- Proof = a video with a visible @ of the winner
EXPLANATION: (LEGIT) PROOF
I’ve been doing GA’s for almost 2 years now, and this is how I make sure people know I’m trustworthy:
- I send screenshots of my screen while ordering or packing the prizes through DM
I’ve been doing GA’s for almost 2 years now, and this is how I make sure people know I’m trustworthy: - I send screenshots of my screen while ordering or packing the prizes through DM
- I ask winners to stay online, so I’m 100% sure their address is correct
- No correct address = no shipping!
- I will immediately send proof of the receipt to the winner in DM
- After that, I will add the receipt with the winner’s @ to my proof thread
- No correct address = no shipping!
- I will immediately send proof of the receipt to the winner in DM
- After that, I will add the receipt with the winner’s @ to my proof thread
- I will ask the winner to quote my proof thread with a ‘thank you’ message, so people know it was a mutual agreement and nothing was forced
this is MY standard ‘procedure’, someone else might do it differently

EXPLANATION: FAKE PROOF
whenever someone hides the winners @ in their proof, it might be fake why?
because there was never a real winner in the first place
those “winners” are often backup acc’s from the hosts themselves, so they don’t have to send anything...

EXPLANATION: INCONSISTENT PROOF
this is hard to spot, but there are acc’s that do real GA’s with real winners, but are inconsistent
they might send 1 prize to 1 winner and skip 2-3 winners to make it look like they’re reliable.
doesn’t happen often, but it does happen

EXPLANATION: UNREALISTIC PRIZES 1
Look at the picture below… Do the math:
Lightstick ± $35 USD
Shipping ± $10- $100 USD
Average cost: $80 USD x 2000 = $160K total for this GA Do you really think that’s realistic?
The answer = NO!

EXPLANATION: REALISTIC PRIZES
this heavily depends on the host
do you research first (what I explained earlier), and then decide whether you trust them or not
because it’s definitely possible that the host just has a lot of money to spend…

EXPLANATION: GENERIC TWEETS
generic tweets often look like a robot wrote them
- Plain
- Clear pattern
- Often the only tweets they ever tweet
- a lot of CAPITAL LETTERS
not every fake account tweets generic tweets, but it’s definitely something to look out for!

EXPLANATION: “Why not just try, even if it’s fake or not?”
DO NOT TRY IT!
Twitter works with an algorithm like many other platforms. Every interaction is seen as interest in the tweet, which means the tweet will have a higher chance of being on top of someones TL
