I normally check their name against old beta pictures or the beta list, and most of the time checking their pins in their stamp book helps too. I don't think there is any legit beta out there who has all of the pins that have ever existed. (Most of the fakes hack all the pins too)

I also know a few betas who never really cared much about membership to be honest :p

My understanding of it is this; they hack a certain item (Let's take the beta hat) in order to look 'rare' and appeal to others, but in actual fact, so many people are copying them that they aren't as special as they first thought.
