Solution for fake pics on CL?

[Hotoilhands]

I'm copying this post from the Edmonton section since I also poon in BC and figured I'd share.

I was cruising the Edmonton CL and came across this ad. I signed up, grabbed a fake pic from the Vancouver page, and voila, it showed over 20 sites that the pic is up on. And this after promising "100% really me or no pay." Go figure.
I'm not associated with this tineye site so use at your own discretion.

Do you have your doubts when looking at the ads here and you see "100% Real Photo of me"??

Here's a solution before going to waste your time.

Get yourself an account on "tineye dot com" (it is free), then go to a CL ad that has a picture you want to authenticate right click on it copy the image location and paste it in tineye. Within seconds you'll see all the websites that have this exact same picture.>>snip

Another option would be to use common sense. It seems pretty obvious which are real or fake.

Good idea for those lacking in this common sense thing.

Cool service, agreed, but is there really that much of a detective story needed? Just check the threads on Perb...every fake photo is outed so fast, it's like a google search on here!
