Explained on 26 October 2026. This is an educational answer drawn from the dated article below; examples are hypothetical unless a specific source observation is identified.

How it works

Evidence and authenticity are different checks. A screenshot can preserve a claim without proving the sender’s identity or regulatory status. Use official verification channels and retain the original communication context where possible. Avoid posting personal financial information publicly when seeking an explanation or raising a concern.

A simple example

A hypothetical investor saves a dated research note and the email that delivered it. If a later promotional message claims a different recommendation was originally given, the dated originals provide a clearer starting point than an edited performance graphic.

What to check

  • Keep the agreed scope and dated material.
  • Verify the provider through official channels.
  • Preserve payment and communication references privately.
