When the player is speaking to Redd about a painting he has for sale, his emotions will often signal if it is a fake.

The item then changes in name from the bought painting's name to "forged painting" (for example, if a you buy a proper painting from Redd, and it is declared fake by either Tom Nook or Blathers, its name will change from "proper painting" to "forged painting"). To verify the painting without changing the name, check the catalog at Nook's store. If the painting you bought was geniune, it will be listed in the catalog. If it is fake, it will not appear on the list.

If you talk to Redd manually after you buy a painting and he praises you, he says ''"Heh heh heh...."'' Contrary to what is widely believed on cheat websites, this has been proven false.

A Forged Painting is the outcome of buying a fake painting from Crazy Redd. A forged painting appears as a regular painting until sold to Tom Nook or donated to Blathers at the Museum, where both may identify the picture. Players can tell forged paintings apart from genuine paintings also by noticing the differences.

When the player is speaking to Redd about a painting he has for sale, his emotions will often signal if it is a fake. If he displays a glint in his eye or the "mischievous" emotion, the painting is probably a fake. In fact, showing any emotion while he describes it is an indicator. Despite this, the only way to truly tell if it is real or fake is to buy it.

After the player purchases a painting from Redd, there are two ways to verify it: trying to sell it to Tom Nook or donating it to the museum. Both Blathers and Tom Nook are able to identify it a fake and will refuse to accept it. The item then changes in name from the bought painting's name to "forged painting". Players can also verify the painting via Tom Nook's catalog. If the painting that was bought is genuine, it will be listed in the catalog. If it is fake, it is absent from the list.

Although they are rejected for the museum and store, the painting may still be displayed as furniture in the house and the image will be that of the original paintings. However, its points for the Happy Room Academy is lower than that of an original painting. In Animal Crossing: Wild World, players may exchange a forged painting for 100 bells upon signing up for insurance from Lyle. Players can also give the forged painting to a villager as a gift, or they can sell it to another player. Finally, they can sell the painting to Tom Nook for 10 bells. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the only way to remove the forged painting is to pay a disposal fee after attempting to sell the painting.
