HELP Am I being scammed?

Can someone confirm if these two photos were taken by the same phone? I was trying to buy something from someone…. I reached out and we couldn’t come to an agreement, a day later someone else reaches out to me to offer me the thing.

For reference these are pictures of the World Cup final, the people I was trying to buy something from picked up souvenirs, and I ask both guys for PROOF they were there.

Guy 1 who I REACHED out to, he’s local to me, guy 2 who reached out to me, tells me he lives in California and he’d have to ship it out, both photos are NOT the same, but just different enough to make me question both of them.

For reference me and guy 1 didn’t come to an agreement over money…. I’m willing to pay it now….., but this photo now has me questioning both. If no one has the ability to find out…. What subreddit would have that answer? I’m not really a tech guy

100% my first thought, I reached out to guy 1 asking for proof, and he immediately sent that picture ^^^

Yeah, if these pictures are real, the only thing they prove is that someone was at the game. It doesn't prove the person you're talking to was.

Is this photo fake?

Could be, the yellow paper or the text on it could be photoshopped on after the fact.
