I want to buy online business that generates a good revenue and receives payment to its wallet in BTC and ETH.
How do I verify if these payments happened indeed and not are photoshopped.
On the screenshot I can see amount that has been paid and number of wallet that payment has been sent from.

Thank you!

Anyone?
You can use a block explorer such as https://blockchair.com/ to see if those transactions actually happend.

But even then, you should be cautious.
He could've simply taken/snapped those transactions from a node (depending on his business model). ( A lot of HYIP sites do this. (I do hope that's not what you're trying to buy here!))

If you really want to make sure that the "company" made those transactions, ask them to sign a message from the adress that the output was made from.

(And then ofcourse verify it.) Although, if you gotta ask this, i'm pretty sure something is fishy.






What exactly are you trying to buy? An exchange? A gambling site? If so, you could check their traffic sources using https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo or SimilarWeb as well.

Thank you! That is a great advice.
I already verified their traffic using semrush, but with proof of income it is tricky, as some payment streams are received thru bank account and others thru crypto.
I thing a good idea is to see how they cash their crypto assets to their business accounts. Site is listed on Bizben and I am doing my due diligence)
