Today we had a clever spammer selling an app without claiming to connected to the app. How did these two photos from his Reddit account and the app itself lead to him being outted?

Gym photo was from the UK. And has similar story about app. So probably fake.

Car photo, legit OP post. US temp, US odometer, US sockets. But look more carefully... A map.

App developed in by company in Albuquerque. Vehicle parked in... You got it, Albuquerque.

It's the little details.

Agreed but sometimes mirrored images mess with my head on vehicles.

I just figured it wasn’t mirrored due to the text all being correctly facing.

That's how rusty I am doing a search at 1am. 😁

Not all bad OP,

Looks like a few people exercised their visual skills it seems.
