Any way to tell?

My uncle runs a company and received an anonymous email from one of his employees saying that these people (3 branch office heads) opened their own company and are channeling my uncle's clients there. And this picture is supposed to be proof.

Triad time.

Not from that picture. Have a larger one?

Business in China is fun.

Unfortunately not. That's the picture the anonymous employee sent and obviously (s)he didn't leave a reply address.

Hm, I guess the picture really is too small. Too bad.

hard to say from such a small picture, but my gut feeling is that it's real.

X2 Looking at the shadows, the colour of the faces and the hands... looks like a real one, or a very very well doctored one. Too small to say though.

It shouldn't be too hard for your Uncle to find out for sure, just have him randomly call clients.

Time to call the mob then!

Clients most likely wouldn't tell these kind of things. That part of the company is an immigration service provider and like personal banking, the clients usually care more about their personal consultant than the actual company behind it, since the consultant is the one that gets the job done in the end. It'd also be weird for the boss to call the clients asking whether his branch offices have defected. He's already send spies posing as fake client to the branch offices to inquire last week, but no results so far.

Anyways, no big deal about the picture. It's just one piece of the puzzle. Thanks guys

Yeah, I think your best bet is to try to confirm through other channels.

If you look at the guy in the middle his jacket is very bright next and more "detailed" (almost cut out like) then the two other people's jackets in back (they look like they are in a shot with the same light source and the man in the middle is in a different light source) I can not with certainty tell you if this is fake or not just my opinion.

The real question is: why do you think it's photoshopped?

Probably for being one step or two ahead the other two and closer to the flash light source. Just look at the light reflection on the back wall. It could be whatever, that photo size won't allow any serious evaluation.

I guess it's a big risky to trust an anonymous source and two of the guys didn't seem like people to do such a thing.
