PSA: I wasted $150 on a 'declassified' UFO report that was just a bad novel
Got hooked by a slick website selling a 'leaked government document' about the 1952 Washington D.C. UFO flap. Paid $150 for the PDF download, thinking it was some deep cut. Turns out it was just a poorly written fiction story someone typed up, full of basic historical errors. The whole thing was a total scam, and the site vanished a week after I bought it. Has anyone else been burned by these fake 'leak' sellers? How do you even check if something like that is real before opening your wallet?

Man, that "slick website" part is the real red flag. In my experience, the more professional these secret document sites look, the bigger the scam. Real leaks usually look like garbage, like someone scanned a crumpled paper in bad light. If it looks like a marketing team built it, your money is going to that team, not to some whistleblower. I always check if they have any real contact info or a history before they started selling this one big thing. A site that just pops up for one product is built to take the cash and run.
