[Scam Prevention][How To] How to use Google Image Search

Ok so i was recently scammed and before i was going to pay i felt the urge to run the "drawing" through the google image search. but i pushed the thought aside.

Well I decided to run the search the next morning and boom, there it was, the same exact picture same size and everything.

This will teach you how to use this awesome function google has incorporated. And I don't believe many people know about it.

Step One: Navigate to -> images.google.com


Step Two: Click on the camera icon


Step Three: Enter either the url, upload or simply drag and drop the picture in question



Step Four: Compair Results


As you can see, the first picture was an exact match.

Quick and effective, no more scrolling through pages and pages looking for one picture.

 

Thanks for the amazing information, this should be beneficial to a lot of people.

 

Thanks for sharing

 

As a addition, you can simply open the Google Images page and drag/drop the image there, instead of copypasting the link or clicking in Upload Image.


It was a great idea to post it here, Belumoth. May come in hand to a lot of people. I reckon using this technique to find rippers on other forums, by editing their creations in a way the image looks as close as possible to the -supposed- original image (usually vectors) and putting them in google images. It's really effective specially when the image don't include your name "merged" to it.

Plus, as a related note, I reccomend being very attentious to details when buying graphics. In example, at the left bottom of the image Belumoth paid for, the text is darker than the image itself, and some letters match, like the two "B"s and all the "o"s.
