To sign 'fake', extend the index finger of your dominant hand to form a '1' handshape, keeping your other fingers tucked into a fist. Bring your hand up to your face and lightly brush the side of your index finger outward across the tip of your nose. This is typically done in a quick, single motion.
Sign 'real' and then 'fake', using raised eyebrows to indicate a yes/no question. You can point to the diamond beforehand to establish what you are talking about.
Sign 'he give me', then 'phone number', and finish with the sign for 'fake' to describe the number. A slight head shake can emphasize the deception.
Point to the person, sign 'smile', and then use the sign for 'fake'. Pairing this with a slightly skeptical or knowing facial expression will make the meaning clear.

Yes! This sign is very versatile and can be used to describe anything that isn't genuine. You can use it for counterfeit money, a forged document, an imitation brand, or even an insincere apology.
You can brush your nose either once or twice. A single, sharp brush often emphasizes that something is definitely fake, while a repeated, slightly softer brushing motion is common in casual, general conversation.
You should use your dominant hand for this sign. If you are right-handed, use your right index finger to brush across your nose from left to right. If you are left-handed, use your left hand and brush from right to left.
