A/N: This is a seperate oneshot that link to my series ‘The Escort Protocol’, but it work as astand alone too! Technically this would take place after chapter 3ish.

✧ series masterlist ✧ resident evil masterlist

✧Summary: You’re Agent Kennedy’s escort, and despite his initial hatred for his job, he finds annoying you a good amusement. Meanwhile he’s the bane of your existence most days. But when it comes to the end of it, you know you have each others back, and besides, an escort always needs to stay beside their agent.

✧ cw: fluff, minor injuries

✧ WC: 2.8k

You may be flying in style but the trip there was far from it. Sat on the metro at 7pm, the soft whirr of the machinery is all you can hear as it takes you to the airport across the state. The flight is an overnight one, annoyingly, and you’ll be departing at 10:30 so you told Leon to be there at 7:30 latest. Luckily for him, he gets driven there in a fancy car whilst you're stuck on this grimey ride with a bunch of men who keep staring at you strangely. This is awful, maybe you shouldn’t have agreed to Leon’s insistence on you being his escort or maybe you should’ve just stolen his gun just for this ride. You’ve got all the documents at the ready in your folder, both passports, licenses and all this other yap.It makes no sense why they need all this but then again, you’re just a measly escort; it’s best you don't ask questions. The passengers look at you like you're crazy when you double check the documents for the 4th time this hour, your hands slipping into the folder over and over again. You know you couldn’t even go back if you forgot some but you like to be extra, extra prepared, or maybe you’re just very nervous of screwing your first proper job. Either way, you’ve got about 2 stops to go now which is good, seeing as you’re right on schedule. Your fingers play the edge of your formal trousers, you’d normally just wear a skirt but you figured it’d be more comfy on a plane and a little more classy. Plus you kind of like this look; it looks like you're his bodyguard if you get an earpiece to match.

Practically, dashing out the doors when it’s at your stop, you make your way up the stairs after scanning your metro card. Flagging down a cab was easier than you expected and you ended up at the airport much earlier too; this could even be a record time.Your phone buzzes as you pull your small suitcase behind you, a look of panic covering your face as you struggle to grab your phone with your hands full. Eventually you place down your folder of documents into the side pocket of your suitcase, something you had practically squealed at when you shopped online for it.

“Hey, you there yet?” Leon’s voice rings out from the phone as you hold it up to your ear.

“Yes, my cab got me here a little faster than expected. Are you close?”

“Uh.. there was an accident on the motorway, but i’ll be quick.”

“Mr Kennedy- I told you to let me book the cab earlier-“ You murmur, trying not to show your annoyance because this would’ve been solved if you handled it.

“Call me Leon and yeah- maybe the cab only came 10 minutes ago but i’ll be there asap. Dont even sweat.”

“But-“

“Oh no- my wifi-“ One of the most experienced agents in the DSO just made fake crackling noises in your ear before hanging up on you. Sometimes you question if your job is even real.

With a groan, you check the time for check in which is only and hour and ten minutes away, but knowing him he’d need a million things before the gate opened. You’d buy some snacks in the meantime but it doesn’t really seem professional to you, and to be honest, airport food is way out of your budget. The small vending machine looks tempting though.

His promise of being there soon turns from 10 minutes to 15 which switches to 20 until it’s growing closer to eight o clock and he’s still not here. You’re typing in his number aggressively at this point, even though you’d never actually raise your voice at him in the slightest. All of a sudden two hands land on your shoulder and you scream, immediately scrambling away with your first instinct to grab the documents and nothing else. You watch Leon burst out laughing at your reaction as your cheeks burn pink— thank god this was a relatively empty area.

“Sir-“ You begin, clenching your teeth as you walk over to put the documents back.

“-Leon, and that was the most entertaining thing i’ve seen all day. Why were you even that terrified?” He chuckles some more, taking a seat in front of the large glass windows that show the planes lined up outside .

“It doesn’t matter anymore. We have twenty minutes until check in and an hour and a half for the gates to open, so you should get anything you want now. Yknow, go toilet, get snacks..”

He crosses his legs and closed the handle on his suitcase, smirking up at you. “Or you could go get it for me.”

“Or I can go get them for you.” You mimic in a high pitched voice, a pissed look on your face now that you’re halfway across the airport as you wait in the fast food line. Of course he wanted a milkshake and chips right before the plane ride and of course he’d use the fact he paid for your ticket against you. For being in a fancy airport, the service sure isn’t good and you’re sure you’ll be the last to board at this point. Finally, you get the milkshake cup and fries, walking 10 minutes until you find him listening to music whilst watching the planes get prepared for departure. You gently poke his shoulder before placing the food on the armrest of the chair he’s sat in.

“One milkshake and one fries, sir.”

“Leon, and thanks.” He pops a fry into his mouth and then picks up another, smushing it against your lips with a smirk.

“Your payment, escort.”

You resist the urge to roll your eyes and munch down the fry before taking a seat in the chair beside him. “It’s not escort- and thanks, i guess? Anyway, pass me your luggage i’ll go put it through.”

He hands you his luggage which weighs a ton for some reason, and you wheel it over to the conveyor belts. Whilst you scan it in you let out a long sigh, this was going to be a long trip with him like this. Yeah, he was as strong and productive as an actual agent now but it doesn’t mean he’s actually going to act like one. When you return, he’s already sending you off again to buy him something else and something else until you feel like a tourist at this point. Why does a man need this many snacks for a 6 hour flight??

You’re bringing him the last thing he asked for, a small gift for his friend Claire who he knows is in the area. A small smile rises on your lips as you look at the one you picked out; most of these brands would be disgusting but as a girl, you know exactly what any girl would want. Chocolates—the fanciest around of course. The happiest person alive is who you would be if someone got you this; you’re practically salivating at the thought as you spot him sitting in his lounge chair. Placing the box of chocolates down, he gives you another cheeky grin and you mentally groan, waiting for his next request.

“Throw this in the bin while you’re up?”

Internally, you’re fuming as you step towards the bin nearby until you hear the strange whirring, your head turning to the source of the noise. An out of control mobility chair slams straight into you, causing you to fall to the floor with a groan. You rub the back of your head which was thankfully intact even though you couldn’t say quite the same for your shattered glasses or the large cut on your hand from said glasses

Your teeth grit at the sudden pain, cutting into the flesh of your lips as you look down at yourself. Well shit. The boarding gates were opening in half an hour and you were sitting on the musty floor with his trash smeared on you.

“Hey—escort?”

He turns around from the loud crash sound, his expression filling with amusement until he realises you’re actually hurt and then he’s throwing his headphones off and quickly making his way over to you. He feels a wave of guilt in his stomach as he helps you up, one hand rubbing your shoulder while the other picks up your injured hand carefully. “You’re okay, I'll go buy you some bandages, okay? Sit down okay? I’ll be quick, promise.”

You hold the handkerchief he kept in his pocket to your hand whilst he practically runs for the nearest pharmacy, speechless and unable to respond. With your spare hand you rummage through your own small bag, looking for your spare glasses. You were thankful you had extra obviously, but you loved that old pair and unfortunately it was in the bin now. You had one job and you just had to go mess it up, didn’t you? Anyone would know to actually look around when they walk, and now you had a damn agent fetching things for you. Now you just felt like shit not to mention you looked like it too. Maybe you should’ve quit this job, you had barely the skills for it—

A warm coat settles on your shoulders before gentle hands take yours. He sits you on the benches there, taking a seat beside you before he rips the packet of bandages open with his teeth, his eyes filled with guilt and concern as he wraps the thick fabric over the cut.

“Your um, your outfit got a little messy from uh.. my trash.” He murmurs as he pulls the collar of the leather to hide your chest a little more before sitting back, looking unusual without his own signature one. The one that sits on your shoulders now.

“You really don't have to I-“

“Shut up, you got hurt, I’m a damn agent— I can throw out my own trash.” He looks like he had just run you over himself and even though you kind of want to just go home and hide under your covers, you can't help but smile just a little.

“It's not anyone's fault. It was just an accident, no one could have seen that.”

“Will you be okay without glasses by the way?”

“I have spares.”

You pull on your old glasses, a little nerdy but not the worst and he grins at the sight.

“You know, if you weren’t so organised I'd make sure you slapped me in payback.”

You give him a playful poke, and finally let a grin rise. “I can't do that anyway?”

Eventually you’re waiting beside Leon to enter the boarding gate. His eyebrows raise in amusement and he chuckles when he sees you watching in awe at how the pair of you skip the security line due to your status. Your eyes widen and you practically turn your whole body to watch all the other passengers get swatted down, something you’d be in if it weren’t for Leon. He likes watching your reactions, it’s very amusing to him. Especially your face when he bandaged up your hand; it was all sheepish and ready to be scolded for negligence or the like. He can't help but rest his arm on your head; the height difference is not that big, but he’d get a cramp in his arm if it meant seeing you hide the glare you want to give him behind a professional calm.

“Shocked? We’re allowed in first with no fuss; just DSO perks.” He winks at you and ruffles your hair before letting his arm down as the gate begins to let first class passengers through.

You take charge as his escort, showing the documents and getting both boarding tickets checked before leading him through onto the actual plane. You can practically feel his smirk as he watches you take in the sight of first class with awe. But you’re in business class today because you’re his escort and luckily this airline has those fancy business seats in the middle. You finally reach your area, taking his backpack off of him and placing it in the overhead luggage. You place your own handbag underneath the seat; there's a ton of things useful for every situation. With a quick glance, you peek around at the perks of business class with awe. It looks so clean and fancy, even if it's a little less secluded than first. You turn to see him already getting comfortable in his large seat, reclining a little before picking up the remote for the tv. After a quick rummage in your bag for headphones, you sink into the plush seat of the chair and try to hide the obvious excitement of it all. Though, you lock in quickly as you remember you still have lots of work to do and a schedule to finalise for him. Damn, sometimes you think you should be upgraded to an assistant.

It’s one thirty am when he pokes your shoulder, trying to get your attention whilst not disturbing anyone. He watches as you shift your headphones to rest on your neck before looking at him.

“What's wrong?” You whisper, the way you tilt your head is very amusing to his tired mind.

“Aren’t you going to sleep?” He asks, quite curious although he has a bunch of other questions like if that nasty cut on your hand is feeling better. But he’s not used to such blatant displays of care; he’d barely cared about himself up until you came along and forced him to.

“No. I can't really sleep on planes.” He hears you whisper, and for some reason there's a twinge of guilt in his gut at your words. You look exhausted from everything today. He barely lifted a finger whilst you handled the entire trip and, whilst it was fun and you’re being paid, he feels a little bad.

“Well, are you hungry?”

“…I.. No- no I'm fine.”

You slip on your headphones once he nods and turns back to the movie he watches, making sure to dim your screen as much as to not disturb others. But then again, this is business class, you doubt they can be bothered by you with their dividers up. You’re tapping away at some new things, reaching to sip your water only to unfortunately find that it’s empty. Though before you can mourn it, a familiar hand places a bottle, snacks and an energy drink onto the pull out table you had propped your laptop up on.

You glance up at him with surprise before mouthing a ‘Thank you’ with a small but bright smile. He just gives you a quick nod before turning away, back to his movie.

Soon enough, a soft snore rings out and you’re met by the sight of Leon’s cheek smushed against his hand as he dozes off. In fact, pretty much everyone is asleep apart from you. A small feeling inside you tells you that the flight attendants probably think you’re insane but you brush it off quickly as you reach into the complimentary bag they provide for business class. You pull out the soft blanket and drape it over him before reaching over to turn the bright screen of his tv off. One last glance at his drowsy form has you smiling as one would do with a cute animal, you’ve never seen someone who is usually cocky this… squishy. You almost try to poke them when you hear the steps of a flight attendant and quickly turn back to your laptop, a furious wave of embarrassment filling you. Maybe you should get some sleep too and it’s only a few hours now until you arrive.

You let out a long sigh, getting up to head to the bathroom, unaware that Leon’s eyes had peeked open when you got up. He had been half awake since you rustled the complimentary bag; he has always been a light sleeper. He peeks over at your laptop, tempted to snoop before he sees the small notes app you have pinned in the corner. It’s a bunch of random things, half of which he had no idea was relevant to your work or the DSO. But then again, when did he ever actually do his paperwork? A small text catches his eye though, the bottom line and typed in only 10 minutes ago.

‘Buy Leon a travel pillow.’

He can't help but grin at that, and the bunch of other random notes you have about the job including his coffee order. Don't get him wrong, he hates this job but that doesn’t mean he can't enjoy it from time to time.

[centrally-unplanned]

I was listening to this cast by The Weeb Crew, with SteveM as a guest, going through some other Evangelion video and dissecting the mythical memetic tropes it buys into. Which was a lot of fun, I recommend the cast, and the video they are critiquing is a bit of a grad-bag of zombie memes about Evangelion from the 2000's, which yeah have aged poorly.

One of the ones they get into is the idea that Evangelion's TV ending was "intensely unpopular", and Anno & crew were getting like bombarded with death threats and stuff. Which happened at some level sure, but certainly wasn't the median response. The video actually sites the "emails" shown on screen in End of Evangelion as evidence:

And like, bro those emails are fake! The staff wrote them for the movie, they didn't use real death threats or fan mail, that would be a huge legal liability. Not saying they are analytically useless or anything but, you know, you need to know that.

Anyway, SteveM mentions that of course there was pushback against Eva's ending, but actually the big wave wasn't interior to the fandom - instead it was sparked by Eva "going mainstream" discourse-wise. In particular a review essay by social critic Eiji Otuska (who is also a former lolicon creator ding ding ding) that was published after the finale aired sparked a widespread discussion in the media by other critics. He links to the essay in their discussion....except he doesn't. He thinks he did, and then when they look, its just someone else mentioning it in an article in 2003:

Bitter disputes broke out on online bulletin boards, with some critical of the producers for failing to provide a clear-cut end to the story, and others who praised the finish for being "typically Evangelion-like." But when commentator Eiji Otsuka sent a letter to the Yomiuri Shimbun, complaining about the end of the Evangelion series, the debate went nationwide. "The debate that erupted over the ending went way beyond our calculations," Gainax's Sato chuckles. "Anno probably knew what was going on. He realized that media other than anime had taken notice of Evangelion."

Which triggered in me the thought - why doesn't he have it? He references it in his own work after all. As you can guess, after some searching I am pretty sure I know why; no one has it. Its never been scanned or reprinted in an accessible format! It definitely is important in the history of Evangelion - I have seen this claim in other contexts, the essay that sparked a discourse, and you can find many works about Evangelion citing Otsuki (generally later works, like an article published in September of 1996 which you can buy) But what the article article said is only discernable via the clues dropped from second-hand accounts.

So can we find it?

First of all I need to figure out what is even being referenced. Searching through contemporary Japanese sources, I dug up an extremely handy find:

A somehow-still-existing 1997 fan page by a Japanese otaku (I'm giving you this stuff auto-translated btw, what would you do with a wall of kanji?) who extensively catalogued every media mention of Evangelion. I am sure they missed some, but they didn't miss a big one like the Otsuki letter - which we know from the above interview appeared in gigantic newspaper Yoimiuri Shimbun:

This gives us three candidates; given that we know it was written after the finale aired, and that was March 27th, 1996, our most likely candidate is the April 1st essay; I was able to find a secondary source mentioning the review was "immediately" after the finale, so I think that nails it.

Which alas does not bring up anything! Try as I might I cannot find any extant blog post, or scanned image, or long quoted form. But after trying the usual methods I did realize something - unlike my average document hunt, this is Yoimiuri Shimbum, a newspaper, a big newspaper. Which means they probably have their own archive, which I might be able to access. and low and behold, they do! And my university research services actually have an account!!

Incredibly blessed by this stroke of luck, I went digging for everything containing "Evangelion" and "Eiji Otsuka" in 1996, and found it:

And it's fucking blank. If the article is scanned or anything it will have that "Japanese Text" you see on the first result, or "Scanned Image" tag or something. I swear its like the only ones not scanned, all the random ads and list of best sellers are all there, but the entire cultural essays section is just an archival void. Shot in the skull right at the finish line.

Alas I am out of ideas of this one - its a newspaper, no one is selling this on Yahoo Auctions. Though hey, at least now we know the title:

"オウム」を超えるはずが... / It should surpass Aum...", 876 characters long.

"Aum" by the way is Aum Shinrikyo, the cult terrorist group that conducted the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin gas attack. Which you can imagine really took the chattering classes by storm; it was the culmination of a series of "extremist" actions that began in the 1980's that built up a narrative of societal decay and alarm. It really isn't surprising that Otsuka linked Evangelion to Aum Shinrikyo; the apocalyptic connections were obvious, there was even an episode of the show that had to be changed due to the attacks as the production team thought the events were too similar. And additionally, if this essay was gonna spark a "societal backlash", it has to say something controversial right? I have definitely seen other critics like Hiroki Azuma discussing Eva in relation to Aum as a "social phenomenon" - I am betting Otsuka is the source of that comparison being so ubiquitous.

From other sources like people on twitter and other articles, I can pick up a few other details on what it contained; apparently he referred to Evangelion's finale as a "self-help seminar" for otaku and lambasted the idea of airing one of those on TV. And from his other writings I think you can certainly piece it together - essentially seeing Evangelion's self-involvement and hyper-introspection as a product of the same societal malaise that birthed Aum Shinrikyo, while failing to deliver a solution that could "go beyond" that. Which, the shit you said about media in the 90's, I want a hit of what he's having! But while today its quite obvious that groups like Aum were, sure, saying something about society but turned out overwhelmingly to be fringe weirdos as opposed to canaries in the mental institute coal mine, at the time this was very much the zeitgeist.

Still, I don't really care all that much what it says - its an important artifact! It started the "Eva discourse boom" that broke out of otaku circles and launched Evangelion into a cross-societal phenomenon! We should have a record of it, it should be preserved. I will ruminate on it, and see if any other ideas pop up. And meanwhile if anyone out there happens to see what I missed definitely let me know.

are we STILL spreading the lie that tftp was being written during 2019-2020 (during sb's development) even AFTER the person behind that bit of misinformation, entom -- (one of) the originator(s) behind talesgames -- has been repeatedly exposed as a liar? are we really STILL doing this? they faked emails from scott and tried to argue they were real to his face, guys! they are the opposite of a credible source -- and one that harasses real-world employees of both steel wool and scholastic to get the leaks they built their platform off of. just off the top of my head, they:

stalked the facebook of one of the anthology authors to dm them asking if b-7 was a trans allegory or not

got someone working on the movie fired by leaking shit

supported their friend in going to pax west to recording themselves asking a steel wool employee provocative (lore) questions in a no-recording zone, without the employee's knowledge or consent, and then uploaded that to their twitter

^steel wool employees confirmed on twitter that they felt violated by this, & it could have gotten them in legal trouble

claimed to receive a digital review copy of lally's game as part of a press packet, then shifted to "physically buying" the books "from a local bookstore that got them early"

manipulated the metadata of the aforementioned digital review copy to say the file was created in 2019 & then posted it to reddit

said physical books were always photographed at odd angles (so you couldn't see the entire book, just the cover) and at least one of them was your-printer-is-out-of-ink magenta, for fuck's sake

sent their audience after anyone who disagreed with them, including both teenagers and fellow theorists

sent their audience to spam the mods of at least one fnaf wiki until they changed the glitchtrap page to be the mimic (prior to the release of ruin!)

was a big part of organising the campaigns to fire fiszi and pinkypills. not saying i support either of those two or that i'm against them facing the consequences of their actions, but notice a pattern of behaviour here?

faked an entire lorebook (that they had exclusive access to) by lying to their friends about its existence, faking parts of the document to show the, and -- when all of this was leaked to the public -- faking emails from scott proving it was true, insisting that him saying otherwise was part of some grand conspiracy against them, said they would upload a pdf of the book and then vanished for the exact amount of time it takes to print a book on demand & uploaded a video giving you glimpses of a book that looked like it was made by someone in a week. which it was.

nuked their entire online presence when someone got their hands on an actual early release copy of lally's game and disproved their metadata claim.

and when confronted with the above, they said (DIRECT QUOTE) "this shit was from 3 years ago I Do Not Care"

[kafus]

You mentioned making proper genned event pokemon, but what does that entail?

depends on the event in question!

back in the day during gens 3 and 4, IRL event distributions were often handled by running a custom GBA cart with the event distribution software and hooking up to other GBAs via link cable or with the wireless adapter, or a custom DS cart that took advantage of the DS' innate wireless compatibilities. obviously all of these carts were meant to be sent back to nintendo or get destroyed, but that... just did not happen to all of them lol. (there are also a few local distribution softwares for 3DS and stuff but wayyy less common)

you can actually buy gen 4 distribution carts for an excessive amount of money, though i can't in good conscience recommend looking for gen 3 distribution carts, they're INCREDIBLY rare and most of the listings you'll find for them on ebay are 100% fake and are scamming you out of hundreds of dollars, and most people don't know how to tell the difference unfortunately.

that being said, i'm not recommending you buy these at all actually, because most of the ones in physical circulation have been dumped online and can be downloaded. the digiex forums contains them, and you can download these and run them on actual hardware and roleplay being the toys r us/gamestop/etc employee and distribute to themself just like how it would have happened back at the time of the event lmao. for the DS ones it's easy with a hacked 3DS and twilight menu, but for GBA you'd need a GBA flashcart and the associated link cable/wireless adapters + two GBAs. this can also be done on emulators with support for local connection between two windows and has the same exact effect as doing it with real hardware, it just feels cool to do it with real hardware (pictured below is an ancient video i took of me distributing 2005 Aura Mew to myself with the actual software made by nintendo, running off a flashcart. i took this years ago and the quality is ass and my positioning is awkward sorry lol. my room doesn't even look the same...)

as for events without distribution software, old gen ones have the DNS exploit, which you can find simple instructions for here. this is much easier with gen 5 than gen 4 - you can find gen 4 help i wrote here. these restore all online functionality in the old games, including mystery gift - trying to grab a mystery gift from the internet will allow you to download pretty much any event in the game (though the one it gives you is random and you'd have to try over and over to get the ones you want). the data of these events is 100% identical to how the events actually were at the time of distribution, like completely indistinguishable, so it's a safe way to get those mons to bank and home, though you may want to change your DS date to the same date as the event in question so it doesn't look weird.

as for 3DS there is no fancy stuff like the above, you'll just want to go to project pokemon's public event gallery and browse for what you're looking for, which also provides a link to instructions for injecting these in your games. it's worth noting you can also inject all the gen 3-5 events that have been documented/archived this way, it's just less interesting than the above methods imo. this is probably the least legitimate feeling option but the data is still identical and well. other than elaborate glitches or something that's the best its gonna get. it's likely once 3DS servers shut down next year that eventually a DNS exploit-adjacent service will pop up for gen 6 and 7...

btw worth noting that gen 4 is the only gen where the name rater literally only checks for TID and doesn't even consider the "fateful encounter" flag that event pokemon are usually given, so you can RNG manip a matching trainer ID and then nickname event mons you aren't supposed to be able to nickname fully within the limits of the original game and hardware LOL. that isn't related to your question i just think it's funny that you can do that and it's technically completely legit

anyway sorry for the long ass answer i just find mystery gifts fascinating and it deserved me being a little more comprehensive

edit: oh yes and there's certain event mons that are still able to be obtained without all this wacky stuff, ie the pokemon colosseum bonus disc gives out infinite jirachis and they just released that as a preorder bonus back then. so worth looking at options for distributions like that too if you need a species of mythical or whatever!

Wiley will announce that it will shutter 19 more journals, some tainted by fraud.

Fake studies have flooded the publishers of top scientific journals leading to thousands of retractions and millions of dollars in lost revenue. The biggest hit has come to Wiley, a 217-year-old publisher based in Hoboken, N.J., which Tuesday will announce that it is closing 19 journals, some of which were infected by large-scale research fraud.

In the past two years, Wiley has retracted more than 11,300 papers that appeared compromised, according to a spokesperson, and closed four journals. It isn’t alone: At least two other publishers have retracted hundreds of suspect papers each. Several others have pulled smaller clusters of bad papers.

Although this large-scale fraud represents a small percentage of submissions to journals, it threatens the legitimacy of the nearly $30 billion academic publishing industry and the credibility of science as a whole.

The discovery of nearly 900 fraudulent papers in 2022 at IOP Publishing, a physical sciences publisher, was a turning point for the nonprofit. “That really crystallized for us, everybody internally, everybody involved with the business," said Kim Eggleton, head of peer review and research integrity at the publisher. “This is a real threat."

The sources of the fake science are “paper mills"—businesses or individuals that, for a price, will list a scientist as an author of a wholly or partially fabricated paper. The mill then submits the work, generally avoiding the most prestigious journals in favor of publications such as one-off special editions that might not undergo as thorough a review and where they have a better chance of getting bogus work published.

World-over, scientists are under pressure to publish in peer-reviewed journals—sometimes to win grants, other times as conditions for promotions. Researchers say this motivates people to cheat the system. Many journals charge a fee to authors to publish in them.

Problematic papers typically appear in batches of up to hundreds or even thousands within a publisher or journal. A signature move is to submit the same paper to multiple journals at once to maximize the chance of getting in, according to an industry trade group now monitoring the problem. Publishers say some fraudsters have even posed as academics to secure spots as guest editors for special issues and organizers of conferences, and then control the papers that are published there.

“The paper mill will find the weakest link and then exploit it mercilessly until someone notices," said Nick Wise, an engineer who has documented paper-mill advertisements on social media and posts examples regularly on X under the handle @author_for_sale.

The journal Science flagged the practice of buying authorship in 2013. The website Retraction Watch and independent researchers have since tracked paper mills through their advertisements and websites. Researchers say they have found them in multiple countries including Russia, Iran, Latvia, China and India. The mills solicit clients on social channels such as Telegram or Facebook, where they advertise the titles of studies they intend to submit, their fee and sometimes the journal they aim to infiltrate. Wise said he has seen costs ranging from as little as $50 to as much as $8,500.

When publishers become alert to the work, mills change their tactics.

“It’s like a virus mutating," said Dorothy Bishop, a psychologist at the University of Oxford, one of a multitude of researchers who track fraudulent science and has spotted suspected milled papers.

For Wiley, which publishes more than 2,000 journals, the problem came to light two years ago, shortly after it paid nearly $300 million for Hindawi, a company founded in Egypt in 1997 that included about 250 journals. In 2022, a little more than a year after the purchase, scientists online noticed peculiarities in dozens of studies from journals in the Hindawi family.

Scientific papers typically include citations that acknowledge work that informed the research, but the suspect papers included lists of irrelevant references. Multiple papers included technical-sounding passages inserted midway through, what Bishop called an “AI gobbledygook sandwich." Nearly identical contact emails in one cluster of studies were all registered to a university in China where few if any of the authors were based. It appeared that all came from the same source.

“The problem was much worse and much larger than anyone had realized," said David Bimler, a retired psychology researcher in Wellington, New Zealand, who started a spreadsheet of suspect Hindawi studies, which grew to thousands of entries.

Within weeks, Wiley said its Hindawi portfolio had been deeply hit.

Over the next year, in 2023, 19 Hindawi journals were delisted from a key database, Web of Science, that researchers use to find and cite papers relevant to their work, eroding the standing of the journals, whose influence is measured by how frequently its papers are cited by others. (One was later relisted.)

Wiley said it would shut down four that had been “​​heavily compromised by paper mills," and for months it paused publishing Hindawi special issues entirely as hundreds of papers were retracted. In December, Wiley interim President and Chief Executive Matthew Kissner warned investors of a $35 million to $40 million revenue drop for the 2024 fiscal year because of the problems with Hindawi.

According to Wiley, Tuesday’s closures are due to multiple factors, including a rebranding of the Hindawi journals and low submission rates to some titles. A company spokesperson acknowledged that some were affected by paper mills but declined to say how many. Eleven were among those that lost accreditation this past year on Web of Science.

“I don’t think that journal closures happen routinely," said Jodi Schneider, who studies scientific literature and publishing at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

The extent of the paper mill problem has been exposed by members of the scientific community who on their own have collected patterns in faked papers to recognize this fraud at scale and developed tools to help surface the work.

One of those tools, the “Problematic Paper Screener," run by Guillaume Cabanac, a computer-science researcher who studies scholarly publishing at the Université Toulouse III-Paul Sabatier in France, scans the breadth of the published literature, some 130 million papers, looking for a range of red flags including “tortured phrases."

Cabanac and his colleagues realized that researchers who wanted to avoid plagiarism detectors had swapped out key scientific terms for synonyms from automatic text generators, leading to comically misfit phrases. “Breast cancer" became “bosom peril"; “fluid dynamics" became “gooey stream"; “artificial intelligence" became “counterfeit consciousness." The tool is publicly available.

Another data scientist, Adam Day, built “The Papermill Alarm," a tool that uses large language models to spot signs of trouble in an article’s metadata, such as multiple suspect papers citing each other or using similar templates and simply altering minor experimental details. Publishers can pay to use the tool.

With the scale of the paper-mill problem coming into ever better focus, it has forced publishers to adjust their operations.

IOP Publishing has expanded teams doing systematic checks on papers and invested in software to document and record peer review steps beyond their journals.

Wiley has expanded its team working to spot bad papers and announced its version of a paper-mill detector that scans for patterns such as tortured phrases. “It’s a top three issue for us today," said Jay Flynn, executive vice president and general manager of research and learning, at Wiley.

Both Wiley and Springer Nature have beefed up their screening protocols for editors of special issues after seeing paper millers impersonate legitimate researchers to win such spots.

Springer Nature has rejected more than 8,000 papers from a suspected paper mill and is continuing to monitor its work, according to Chris Graf, the publisher’s research-integrity director.

The incursion of paper mills has also forced competing publishers to collaborate. A tool launched through STM, the trade group of publishers, now checks whether new submissions were submitted to multiple journals at once, according to Joris van Rossum, product director who leads the “STM Integrity Hub," launched in part to beat back paper mills. Last fall, STM added Day’s “The Papermill Alarm" to its suite of tools.

While publishers are fighting back with technology, paper mills are using the same kind of tools to stay ahead.

“Generative AI has just handed them a winning lottery ticket," Eggleton of IOP Publishing said. “They can do it really cheap, at scale, and the detection methods are not where we need them to be. I can only see that challenge increasing."

How to Identify Authentic Property Listings: A Step-by-Step Guide?

In today’s digital age, property listings are abundant and easily accessible online. However, with this convenience comes the challenge of differentiating between genuine and fraudulent listings. Whether you’re buying, selling, or renting a property, identifying authentic listings is crucial to avoid scams, wasted time, or financial losses.

This step-by-step guide will help you confidently navigate the real estate market and ensure that you only deal with trustworthy property listings.

Start with Reliable Platforms

The first step in identifying an authentic property listing is to choose a reputable online platform. Major property listing websites like Orihomez, 99acres, Magicbricks, Housing.com, and NoBroker are widely recognized for their verification processes. These platforms often have filters that show verified listings, and many agents and property developers use them to post legitimate properties.

When browsing through these platforms, pay attention to:

Verified Listings: These are typically marked with a verification badge, indicating the property has been confirmed by the platform or a trusted agent.

Reviews and Ratings: Look for user reviews and agent ratings, which can give you an idea of the listing’s authenticity.

Detailed Listings: Authentic listings should provide comprehensive details about the property, including its size, location, price, amenities, and clear pictures.

Check the Listing’s Photos and Videos

One of the easiest ways to spot a fake property listing is by examining the images and videos. Authentic listings should have high-quality, clear images and videos of the actual property. Here’s what to look out for:

Multiple angles: A legitimate property listing will typically feature photos of multiple rooms, the exterior, and key amenities. If you only see one or two photos of a single room or unclear shots, it’s a red flag.

Watermarking and Stock Photos: Be cautious of listings with stock photos or watermarked images from other websites. Authentic agents and sellers will use original photos of the actual property.

Video tours: Some genuine listings will include a video walkthrough of the property. This can help you gauge the property’s true condition and layout.

Look for Transparent and Detailed Descriptions

An authentic property listing will have a detailed description outlining the property’s features, location, price, and other essential information. A few key things to look for include:

Clear price breakdown: The price should be realistic and aligned with the market trends. If the price seems unusually low, it could be a sign of a scam.

Location and area details: A reliable listing will include detailed information about the property’s location, surrounding infrastructure, and neighborhood amenities. Beware of vague descriptions or incomplete addresses.

Legal clarity: Genuine listings should mention whether the property has a clear title, proper paperwork, and any pending legal matters. Avoid listings that are vague about legalities.

Verify the Property’s Details with the Agent or Seller

Once you’ve shortlisted a few properties, contact the listing agent or seller directly. Ask for additional information, such as:

Ownership documents: A trustworthy seller or agent will be able to provide you with documents that prove the property’s ownership and legality.

Reason for selling/renting: A genuine seller will offer a reasonable explanation as to why they are selling or renting the property.

Availability of the property: Always check whether the property is still available, as listings can sometimes be outdated.

A legitimate agent or property owner will always be willing to provide this information, and they will respond to your queries politely and promptly.

Cross-Check with Public Property Records

To verify the authenticity of a property listing, cross-check the property’s details with local government or public property records. You can do this by:

Visiting local land registry offices or checking online databases (if available in your area) to ensure that the property details match the seller’s claim.

Confirming ownership: The land title should match the name of the seller or the agency that is listing the property. This is particularly important for high-value properties.

Check for RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) Registration

In India, the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) was established to protect the interests of buyers and investors. Under RERA, all developers, builders, and real estate agents must register their properties.

Before committing to any property transaction, ensure the property and its seller or agent are registered with RERA. You can visit the official RERA website or the respective state’s RERA portal (such as Odisha RERA) to check the registration number of the property and the agent’s credentials.

Watch Out for Common Scams

Scammers often use attractive pricing and fake listings to lure potential buyers. Here are some warning signs to watch out for:

Unbelievably low prices: If a property is listed far below the market rate, it’s often too good to be true. Always compare prices of similar properties in the same area.

No site visit allowed: Fraudulent sellers or agents may refuse to let you visit the property or ask for upfront payments without showing you the property.

Pressure tactics: If an agent or seller is pressuring you to make a quick decision or pay a deposit, be wary. Genuine sellers understand the importance of time for potential buyers.

Seek Recommendations and Referrals

If you’re unsure about a listing, seek recommendations from people you trust, such as family, friends, or colleagues. Word-of-mouth referrals from previous buyers can help you identify reliable agents or legitimate listings.

Additionally, you can join local real estate forums or social media groups where buyers share their experiences and recommend trustworthy agents.

Visit the Property in Person

The best way to verify a property’s authenticity is to visit it in person. During your visit, you can confirm:

Actual condition: Check if the property matches the photos and description provided online.

Neighborhood: Get a feel of the area and assess whether it meets your needs and expectations.

Agent’s presence: Genuine agents will accompany you during property visits and will provide all the necessary information you need.

Identifying authentic property listings requires diligence, patience, and a keen eye for detail. By following these steps—starting with trustworthy platforms, scrutinizing images, verifying legal documents, and cross-checking with public records—you can avoid scams and find the property that truly meets your needs.

Remember, a reliable property agent or seller will always prioritize transparency, open communication, and will be willing to provide all necessary documentation. Stay cautious, do your due diligence, and you’ll be able to make an informed decision in your property search. Happy house hunting!

Kaarel Kotkas, CEO and Founder of Veriff – Interview Series

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/kaarel-kotkas-ceo-and-founder-of-veriff-interview-series/

Kaarel Kotkas, CEO and Founder of Veriff – Interview Series

Kaarel Kotkas is the CEO and Founder of Veriff and serves as the strategic thinker and visionary behind the company. He leads Veriff’s team in staying ahead of fraud and competition in the rapidly changing field of online identification. Known for his energy and enthusiasm, Kotkas encourages the team to uphold integrity in the digital world. In 2023, he was recognized in the EU Forbes 30 Under 30, and in 2020, he was named the EY Entrepreneur of the Year in Estonia. Nordic Business Report has also included him among the 25 most influential young entrepreneurs in Northern Europe.

Veriff is a global identity verification company that helps online businesses reduce fraud and comply with regulations. Using AI, Veriff automatically verifies identities by analyzing various technological and behavioral indicators, including facial recognition.

What inspired you to found Veriff, and what challenges did you face in building an AI-powered fraud prevention platform?

My motivation for Veriff came after witnessing firsthand how easy it was for people online to pretend to be someone else. When buying biodegradable string from eBay for my family’s farm at the age of 14, I effortlessly bypassed PayPal’s 18+ age restrictions with a touch of Photoshop to change my birth year on the copy of my identity document.

I continued to see the problem of online users misrepresenting their identity to pass age checks and other security measures. It was due to these experiences that I came up with the idea for Veriff.

As for challenges, a year after founding the company, we gave our team the weekend off. This was the same day we did a bug fix, which resulted in a full interruption in monitoring capabilities. We didn’t notice our service shutting itself down until Saturday morning. Come Monday morning, I had to meet face-to-face with our biggest customer, who had lost thousands of dollars in revenue. I was transparent in that meeting, explaining the mistakes on our end. We shook hands and went back to work. What I learned from this is that as a founder and business leader, we must expect and prepare for challenges. Additionally, transparency is key for building trust. Lastly, demonstrating a history of overcoming challenges can prove more valuable because it shows you can successfully tackle problems and are resilient.

With deepfakes becoming more sophisticated, especially in political settings, what do you think are the most significant risks they pose to elections and democracy?

This election season, the integrity of the voting process is in jeopardy. AI can analyze vast amounts of data to identify voter preferences and trends, enabling campaigns to tailor messages and target voters with messages they care most about. Bad actors are well equipped to create false narratives of candidates performing actions they never did or making statements they never said, thus damaging their reputations and misleading voters.

To date, we have seen deepfakes of celebrities endorsing presidential candidates and a fake Biden robocall. While technology does exist to help distinguish between AI-generated content and the real deal, it’s not viable to implement broadly at scale. With the high stakes and election credibility on the line, something must be done to preserve public trust. The future growth of the digital economy and its fight against digital fraud centers around proven identities and authentic and verified online accounts.

Deepfakes can manipulate not only images but also voices. Do you believe one medium is more dangerous than the other when it comes to deceiving voters?

In general, especially in the U.S. context of elections, both should be treated equally as threats to democracy. Our most recent report Veriff Fraud Index 2024: Part 2, found that 74% of respondents in the US are worried about AI and deepfakes impacting elections.

The evolution of AI has turbocharged the threat to security, not only in the US but around the globe, during this year’s elections. Whether it be deepfake images, AI-generated voices in robocalls trying to skew voter opinions, or fabricated videos of candidates, they both provoke warranted concern.

Let’s look at the bigger picture here. When there are lots of data points available, it’s easier to assess the “threat level.” A single image might not be enough to tell if it’s fraudulent, but a video provides more clues, especially if it has audio. Adding details like the device used, location, or who recorded the video increases confidence in its authenticity. Fraudsters always try to limit the scope of information because it makes it easier to manipulate. I view robocalls as more dangerous than deepfakes because creating fake audio is easier than generating high-quality fake videos. Plus, using LLMs makes it possible to adjust fake audio during calls, making it even more convincing.

Given the upcoming elections, what should governments and election commissions be most concerned about regarding AI-driven disinformation?

Governments and election commissions need to understand the potential scope of deepfake capabilities, including how sophisticated and far more convincing these instances of fraud have become. Deepfakes are especially effective when deployed against enterprises with disjointed and inconsistent identity management processes and poor cybersecurity, making it more critical today to implement robust security measures or have a layered approach to security.

Still, there is no one-size-fits-all solution, so a coordinated, multi-faceted approach is key. This could include robust and comprehensive checks on asserted identity documents, counter-AI to identify manipulation of incoming images, especially concerning remote voting, and, most importantly, identifying the creators of deepfakes and fraudulent content at the source. The responsibility of verifying votes lies with governments and electoral commissions, as well as technology and identity providers.

What role can AI and identity verification technologies like Veriff play in countering the impact of deepfakes on elections and political campaigns?

AI is a threat and an opportunity. Nearly 78% of U.S. decision-makers have seen an increase in the use of AI in fraudulent attacks over the past year. On the flip side, nearly 79% of CEOs use AI and ML in fraud prevention. In a time when fraud is on the rise, fraud prevention strategies must be holistic – no single tool can combat such a multitudinous threat. Still, AI and identity verification can empower businesses and users with a multilayered stack that brings in biometrics, identity verification, crosslinking, and other solutions to get ahead of fraudsters.

At Veriff, we use our own AI-powered technology to build our deepfake detection capabilities. This means our tools improve from the learnings when we see a deepfake. Taking large amounts of data and searching for patterns that have appeared before to determine future outcomes relies on both automated technologies and human knowledge and intelligence. Humans have a better understanding of context, identifying anomalies to create a feedback loop that can be used to enhance AI models. Combining different insights and expertise to create a comprehensive approach to identity verification and deepfake detection has allowed Veriff and its customers to stay ahead of the curve.

How can businesses and individuals better protect themselves from being influenced by deepfakes and AI-driven disinformation?

Protecting yourself from being influenced by deepfakes and AI-driven disinformation starts with education and cognizance of AI’s expansive capabilities, coupled with proven identities and authentic, verified online accounts. To determine if you can trust a source, you must look at the cause rather than the symptoms. We must confront the problem at its source, where and by whom these deepfakes and fraudulent resources are being generated.

Consumers and businesses must only trust information from verified sources, such as verified social media platform users and well-credited news outlets. In addition, using fact-checking websites and looking for visual anomalies in audio or video clips—unnatural movements, strange lighting, blurriness, or mismatched lip-syncing—are just some of the ways that businesses can protect themselves from being misled by deepfake technology.

Do you think there’s enough public awareness about the dangers of deepfakes? If not, what steps should be taken to improve understanding?

We’re still in the growing awareness phase about AI and educating people on its potential.

According to the Veriff Fraud Index 2024: Part 2 over a quarter (28%) of respondents have experienced some kind of AI- or deepfake-generated fraud over the past year, a striking result for an emerging technology and an indication of the growing nature of this threat. What is more important is that this number could actually be much higher, as 20% say they don’t know if they have been targeted or not. Given the sophisticated nature of AI-generated fraud attempts, it is highly likely that many respondents have been targeted without their knowing it.

Individuals should be cautious when encountering suspicious emails or unexpected phone calls from unfamiliar sources. Requests for sensitive information or money should always be met with skepticism, and it’s crucial to trust your instincts and seek clarity if something feels wrong.

What role do you see regulatory bodies playing in the fight against AI-generated disinformation, and how can they collaborate with companies like Veriff?

Given the extent to which deepfake technology has been used to deceive the public and amplify disinformation efforts, and with the U.S. election still underway, it’s yet to be seen how great an impact this technology will have on that election as well as broader society. Still, regulatory bodies are taking action to mitigate the threats of deepfake technology.

A lot of responsibility for mitigating the impact of disinformation falls on the owners of the platforms we use most often. For instance, leading social media companies must take more responsibility by taking action and implementing robust measures to detect and prevent fraudulent attacks and safeguard users from harmful misinformation.

How do you see Veriff’s technology evolving in the next few years to stay ahead of fraudsters, particularly in the context of elections?

In our rapidly digital world, the internet’s future hinges on online users’ ability to prove who they are; that way, businesses and users alike can confidently interact with each other. At Veriff, trust is synonymous with verification. We aim to ensure that digital environments foster a sense of safety and security for the end-user. This goal will require technology to evolve to confront the challenges of today, and we’re already seeing this with wider acceptance of facial recognition and biometrics. Data shows that consumers view facial recognition and biometrics as the most secure method of logging into an online service.

Looking ahead, we envision this trend continuing and a future where rather than users constantly entering and re-entering their credentials as they perform different tasks online, they have “one reusable identity” that represents their persona across the web.

To bring us a step closer to our goal, we recently updated our Biometric Authentication solution to improve accuracy and user experience, and to strengthen security for stronger identity assurance. These latest advancements in biometric technology have enabled our technology to adapt to individual user behaviors, ensuring user authentication rather than just during one session. This advancement, in particular, represents forward progress on our journey to one reusable digital identity.

Veriff is recognized for its global reach in fraud prevention. What makes Veriff’s technology stand out in such a competitive space?

Veriff’s solution offers speed and convenience as it’s 30x more accurate and 6x faster than competing offerings. We have the largest identity document specimen database in the IDV/Know Your Customer (KYC) industry. We can verify people against 11,500 government-issued ID documents from more than 230 countries and territories, in 48 different languages. Additionally, this convenience and reduced friction enable organizations to convert more users, mitigate fraud, and comply with regulations. We also have a 91% automation rate, and 95% of genuine users are verified successfully on their first try.

Veriff was one of the first IDV companies to obtain the Cyber Essentials certification. Cyber Essentials is an effective government-backed standard that protects against the most common cyber attacks. Obtaining this certification demonstrates that Veriff takes cybersecurity seriously and has taken steps to protect its data and systems. This achievement is a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to cybersecurity and our dedication to protecting our customers’ data. Most recently, we completed the ISO/IEC 30107-3 iBeta Level 2 Compliance evaluation for biometric passive liveness detection, an independent external validation to solidify that Veriff’s solution meets the highest standard of biometric security.

Thank you for the great interview, readers who wish to learn more should visit Veriff.

Who Checks If a Rolex is Fake or Real? A Guide to Authenticating Luxury Watches

When it comes to luxury timepieces, few brands are as iconic as Rolex. However, with this prestige comes the unfortunate reality of counterfeiting. As a result, many potential buyers find themselves asking, who checks if a Rolex is fake or real? This article will explore the various methods and experts involved in authenticating Rolex watches, ensuring that you make a wise purchase.

The Importance of Authentication

Purchasing a Rolex is a significant investment, often costing thousands of dollars. Because of this, ensuring that your timepiece is authentic is crucial. Fake Rolex watches can be difficult to spot, and falling victim to a counterfeit can lead to financial loss and disappointment.

Professional Watchmakers and Appraisers

One of the most reliable ways to check if a Rolex is real is to consult a professional watchmaker or appraiser. These experts have extensive training and experience in the horology field, allowing them to spot discrepancies that the average buyer may miss.

Professional appraisers can examine the watch for specific details such as:

Weight: Authentic Rolex watches are typically heavier due to the high-quality materials used in their construction.

Movement: Genuine Rolex watches use a specific type of movement, often referred to as the \"Rolex Caliber.\" This movement can be inspected to confirm authenticity.

Engravings: Rolex watches have specific engravings and markings that are difficult to replicate. An expert will know what to look for.

Authorized Dealers

Another reliable source for authentication is an authorized Rolex dealer. These dealers receive training directly from Rolex and are familiar with the intricacies of the brand's products. If you're considering a purchase, visiting an authorized dealer can provide peace of mind.

Authorized dealers can also offer services such as:

Verification of Serial Numbers: Rolex watches have unique serial numbers that can be verified with the manufacturer.

Service History: If a watch has been serviced at an authorized dealer, they can provide documentation proving its authenticity.

Online Resources and Forums

In today’s digital age, there are numerous online resources where enthusiasts share their knowledge on Rolex authentication. Websites like Watchuseek and RolexForums offer spaces for collectors and experienced buyers to discuss their findings and share tips on spotting fakes.

However, while these forums can be helpful, it's important to approach information with caution. Always cross-reference facts and consult multiple sources before making a decision.

DIY Checks for Buyers

If you want to perform a preliminary check before seeking professional help, there are a few DIY methods you can try:

Magnification Check: Use a jeweler's loupe or magnifying glass to inspect the watch. Authentic Rolex watches have finely detailed engravings that are hard to replicate.

Water Test: Rolex watches are designed to be water-resistant. If your watch fails a simple water test, it may be a fake.

Price Comparison: If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Compare prices on reputable e-commerce websites like Luxe Replica Watche to gauge the market value.

How to Tell the Difference Between Real and Fake Ladies Rolex Watches

Rolex watches are synonymous with luxury and elegance, making them a coveted item for many. However, the popularity of these timepieces has led to a surge in counterfeit products on the market. This article aims to guide you on how to distinguish between real and fake ladies Rolex watches, ensuring that your investment is genuine.

1. Check the Weight

One of the first indicators of a genuine Rolex is its weight. Rolex watches are crafted from high-quality materials, making them heavier than most counterfeit versions. If the watch feels too light, it could be a sign that it is not authentic. Compare the weight with a known authentic Rolex if possible.

2. Examine the Dial and Markings

Rolex dials are meticulously crafted. Look for the following elements:

Logo: The Rolex crown logo should be perfectly aligned and well-defined.

Text Quality: The text on the dial should be crisp and clear, not blurry or misspelled.

Magnification: Genuine Rolex watches have a Cyclops lens that magnifies the date at 2.5 times. If the date appears flat, it’s likely a fake.

3. Inspect the Case and Back

The case of a genuine Rolex is made from solid stainless steel or gold. Inspect the finish; it should be smooth and free from scratches. Additionally, the case back of an authentic ladies Rolex is usually plain and not transparent, as many fake watches often have elaborate designs or transparent backs.

4. Look at the Movement

Rolex watches have a high-quality mechanical movement that is precise and smooth. If you can access the movement, check for the following:

Movement Quality: Authentic Rolex watches have a smooth sweeping second hand, while fakes tend to tick.

Serial Number: Each Rolex has a unique serial number engraved between the lugs at the 6 o'clock position. Ensure that this number is present and matches the paperwork if available.

5. Verify the Bracelet and Clasp

The bracelet of a genuine Rolex is crafted from high-quality materials and feels substantial. Check the clasp:

Engravings: The clasp should have the Rolex crown logo and should fit snugly.

Adjustment Links: Genuine Rolex bracelets have easy adjustments, while fakes may have a poor clasp mechanism.

6. Documentation and Purchase Source

Always ask for original documentation when purchasing a Rolex. This includes the warranty card and the original box. If buying online, ensure you are purchasing from a reputable source. At Luxe Replica Watche, we offer a wide selection of high-quality replica watches, complete with documentation to assure authenticity.

7. Seek Professional Authentication

If you’re still unsure about the authenticity of a ladies Rolex watch, consider seeking the assistance of a professional watchmaker or appraiser who specializes in Rolex watches. They can provide a detailed inspection and confirm whether the watch is genuine.

Conclusion

Purchasing a ladies Rolex is a significant investment that deserves careful consideration. By following these tips, you can better ensure that you are buying a genuine timepiece and not a counterfeit. If you are looking for affordable luxury, Luxe Replica Watche provides an extensive range of replica watches that capture the elegance of the originals at a fraction of the price.

Remember, when in doubt, always consult with experts or trusted retailers to avoid the pitfalls of counterfeit products.

How to Tell a Real Rolex from a Fake Rolex: A Comprehensive Guide

When it comes to luxury watches, few brands are as iconic as Rolex. Unfortunately, with its popularity comes the inevitability of counterfeits. If you're considering purchasing a Rolex or simply want to learn how to identify a genuine one, this guide will help you navigate the world of luxury timepieces. At Luxe Replica Watche, we believe knowledge is power—especially when making a significant investment.

Understanding the Rolex Brand

Rolex has been synonymous with luxury and precision since its inception in 1905. The brand is known for its craftsmanship, durability, and timeless designs. However, the very attributes that make Rolex watches desirable also make them prime targets for counterfeiters. Recognizing a real Rolex versus a fake one requires attention to detail and knowledge of the brand's hallmark features.

Key Features to Identify a Genuine Rolex

Here are several crucial characteristics to look for when assessing a Rolex watch:

1. Weight

Real Rolex watches are made from high-quality materials such as stainless steel, gold, and platinum, resulting in a heavier feel compared to most fakes. If the watch feels unusually light, it could be a sign of a counterfeit.

2. The Cyclops Lens

Many Rolex models feature a date function with a magnifying Cyclops lens on the crystal. Authentic Rolex watches magnify the date by 2.5 times. Counterfeit models often do not achieve this level of magnification or have poorly executed lenses.

3. The Movement

Rolex watches are equipped with in-house movements that are precise and reliable. If you can, take off the case back and inspect the movement. Genuine Rolexes will have an engraved Rolex logo, and the movement should be smooth, without any ticking noise. If the watch ticks like a quartz, it's a fake.

4. The Engravings

Pay attention to the engravings on the watch. Real Rolex watches will have crisp, clean engravings on the case and the clasp. The serial number and model number should be finely engraved, with no signs of fading or unevenness. Check the location of these engravings; on modern models, the serial number is usually located between the lugs at the 6 o'clock position.

5. The Crown Logo

Rolex watches feature a distinct crown logo on the winding crown and often on the dial. This logo should be perfectly executed, with the points of the crown sharp and clear. Counterfeit watches may have a poorly designed logo that looks smudged or inconsistent.

6. The Second Hand Movement

One of the most notable features of a genuine Rolex is the fluid motion of the second hand. Authentic Rolex watches utilize a sweeping motion, while many counterfeit models exhibit a ticking movement. Observe how the second hand moves; if it ticks, it’s likely a fake.

Check the Model and Serial Number

Every Rolex has a unique model and serial number that can be traced. Research the specific model you are interested in to verify its authenticity. You can check the Rolex website or trusted online resources. If you find discrepancies between the model and the serial number, it’s likely a fake.

Documentation and Packaging

When purchasing a Rolex, ensure that it comes with original documentation, including the warranty card, manual, and box. Authentic Rolex packaging is high-quality, with proper branding and no signs of damage. A lack of these items can be a red flag.

How to Know If Your Rolex Watch is Real or Fake: A Comprehensive Guide

How to Know If Your Rolex Watch is Real or Fake: A Comprehensive Guide

Rolex watches are synonymous with luxury, precision, and prestige. However, the proliferation of counterfeit watches has made it increasingly challenging for buyers to distinguish genuine Rolex timepieces from their fake counterparts. Whether you're considering a purchase or already own a Rolex, understanding how to identify a real Rolex watch is crucial. In this guide, we will explore essential tips and techniques to help you determine the authenticity of a Rolex watch.

1. Examine the Weight

One of the first indicators of a Rolex's authenticity is its weight. Genuine Rolex watches are made from high-quality materials, including stainless steel, gold, and platinum. This craftsmanship results in a robust and hefty feel. If your watch feels too light, it may be a counterfeit.

2. Check the Serial and Model Numbers

Every genuine Rolex watch has a unique serial and model number engraved on the side of the case. To check these numbers, look between the lugs at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions. The numbers should be crisp and clear, not faded or poorly etched. You can also verify these numbers with Rolex's official records.

3. Inspect the Movement

Rolex watches are known for their precise movements. If you can, have a professional watchmaker open the case back to examine the movement. Genuine Rolex watches feature intricate movements with high-quality craftsmanship. If the movement appears cheap or simple, it's likely a counterfeit.

4. The Cyclops Lens

Rolex features a magnifying lens, known as the Cyclops, above the date window. This lens magnifies the date by 2.5 times. If you find that the date appears flat or is not magnified, it’s a strong indication that the watch is a fake.

5. Quality of Craftsmanship

Rolex watches are known for their impeccable craftsmanship. Examine the finishing on the watch case, bracelet, and clasp. Look for rough edges, misspellings, or inconsistencies in the logo or font. Genuine Rolex watches are flawlessly finished, with no visible imperfections.

6. The Sound of the Movement

Rolex watches use a smooth, sweeping seconds hand. If the second hand ticks with a noticeable 'tick-tick' sound, it’s likely a fake. A genuine Rolex will glide smoothly without interruption, a hallmark of its high-quality movement.

7. Research the Seller

Before purchasing a Rolex, research the seller thoroughly. If you're buying from an online platform, check reviews and ratings. Additionally, consider purchasing from reputable sellers like Luxe Replica Watche, where you can find high-quality replica watches that offer a luxurious look at a fraction of the price.

8. Documentation and Packaging

Authentic Rolex watches come with official documentation, including a warranty card, manual, and original box. Check for the presence of these items and ensure they are in good condition. If the documentation looks cheap or lacks authenticity, it could indicate a counterfeit watch.

9. The Price Tag

When it comes to Rolex watches, if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Genuine Rolex watches retain their value exceptionally well, and significant discounts should raise red flags. Always compare prices with authorized retailers or reputable sellers like Luxe Replica Watche.

Conclusion

Owning a Rolex watch is a status symbol that many aspire to achieve. By following the guidelines outlined in this article, you can confidently determine the authenticity of a Rolex watch. Whether you're looking to purchase a genuine timepiece or a high-quality replica, remember that the right knowledge can help you make an informed decision.
