I would take it to a jeweler, there is no way to be able to tell if a diamond is real just by looking at it. They will be able to test it for you. It might also cost some money, just depends on the jeweler.

look at the local ads in craigs list.\nat least that's how I got mine. \nas you can pick it up no excessive shipping & handling fees either. You can look at the thing so you are sure it actually exists and you get at least an idea of the state it's in. \nclassified adds in the newspaper is another option

It's fake. Don't do it. Also, see if you can check them out at www.bbb.com and if they're not on there, report them.

There r several machine to check those fake USD$. The way which I check the dollar is by its color. Just fold the note and rub it on a clean plain paper like how u strike match stick to make fire, if it leaves a mark or color then it is original and if it doesn't it is duplicate. I learned this in a training in Dubai.

Try to contact the manfacturer's. Ask them to give you a new one and you have proof that you bought it.

the easiest way i have found to determine a fraud is to rent an albanian spider monkey and feed it unripened grapefruit, wait 30 minutes and if the animal can see its reflection its fake

good answer panzerleader!\n\nI would like to add, make sure you have either a purchase confirmation number given to you at the time of purchase, credit card or bank statement you can provide as evidence of purchase.

Same experience here.  It's a fake, a rip-off.  Stay away.

probably not, don't trust anything on the internet.  If you want something real go to a real store that has proof of manufaturing that kind of thing.

Look them up in the phone book.  That'll give you a pretty good idea of if they're legit or not.

start with the person you bought it from, ask where they got it from and down the line till you find the original owner, I gues that is what you are asking

There's no way to know for sure if a person on Ebay is honest or not.  However, if you are buying from a person with a lot of positive feedback, it is unlikely that they will jeopardize their business's reputation for the sake of a single scam sale to you.  If the person has little or no feedback, it's anybody's guess.  \n\nThat and of course the old adage that if it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is.  Check with other similar items that have already sold and see if the asking price is out of whack with other "completed" items. \n\nOverall, I have had very good luck with people on Ebay, but just like Yahoo Answers, there's always a few people messing things up for everybody else. . .

take it to a bank and have them check it. \n\n2.00 bills are older, so the watermark may not exist, if they were made some time ago.\n\nGenerally the feel of a counterfeit bill is smoother than a true bill. \n\nThe Bank will know. \nGood luck.
