#fake dms

Hi dear,

Thank you so much for the message. After looking at their “screen recording” it does look to me that it is in fact FAKE.

I noticed several things that don’t match from one frame to another.

The phone providers do not match: in one frame the provider is EE, on the other it’s Virgin. In the screenshot of the dm they posted, the provider is yet a different one: “3″.

The phone battery percentages are different: one is 80%, the other is 90%. Also, in one the battery is in “low power mode” and in the other it is not.

In one frame “do not disturb” is selected, and not in the other frame.

In one frame, “portrait orientation lock” is selected, and not in the  other frame.

The timestamp in the screen recording and the dm screenshot under the message “Doing Jepic” do not match. One says 19:38, the other 18:38.

Here are screenshots of their fake “screen recording”:

So, in conclusion: the Louis dm is FAKE. They faked the screen recording too. Why? That’s beyond me. But also expected, sadly. Can’t trust nobody.

Here are examples of a fake Louis dm, and fake screen recording. Video edited in 3 minutes.

Note: in relation to this, this and this post.

CORRECTION: 

The above inconsistencies are due to the fan’s recording, not Jedward’s. The only inconsistency from Jedward is the timestamp under “doing jepic”.

Hey, Charmies. Yall keep getting busted on these fake DMs. Courtney only has 14K followers, not 14 Mil. Tsk tsk tsk.

It's the fact the ONLY DMs so far proven fake beyond a reasonable doubt are those supplied by Charmies for me.

This was posted on @supportarmiehammer ig. Think it's time to report them for posting false info and impersonating someone. Didn't they say that was a crime punishable by law?

ETA: Here is the "video" of their supposed convo.

13.1 THOUSAND does not round up to 14MIL!

Hi dear,

No need to apologize. I was in the middle of writing the correction when you sent your message, so I was glad you did so I could link it there too!

The whole DMs situation is odd, but like I explain in the correction the only inconsistency is the timestamp under their message. I don’t really know how to explain that. Could be a lag in updating the time? That’s the only thing I can think of, but I don’t even know if it’s possible or why it would only affect that message and not the others.

So I think the overall lesson here is: be wary of any and all DMs and screen recordings because they can easily be faked.

I still think it’s important to emphasize this tho:

Jedward’s tweets about the industry, Xfactor, Syco, Simon, etc still reflect the reality they experienced. I mean, all the stuff they’re talking about are things that we know. That we have talked about and pointed out all the time. Things people like Rebecca have been saying. Things fans saw happening to 1D in real time. Things that happened to Jedward too, just a year ahead of 1D.

Now regarding the Jedward twins:

@rainbowsartlove added these tags to one of my posts about the industry whistle blowers, and I think everyone should see them to know a bit more about the Jedward twins. They were 17 year old artists at the Xfactor,  under Modest too. Just like One Direction. They experienced all of the abuse, being shelved and blacklisted. 

Here are their tags about Jedward:

this one makes me laugh lol https://twitter(.) com/C0NNEXlON/status/1379176514114084866?s=19

Hi dear,

Yeah it is super easy! There are apps that do it too.

Here’s the first fake Louis dm:

Hi dear,

I actually just posted a correction to that post. Check it out here.

Seems the only inconsistency is the timestamp under their message.
