    go to google , type
    info:domain.com
    if you see another domain under, or click to load domain cache. >> it's fake.
    Also, check archive.org, see recent screenshot, if it's redirect to another website, >> it's fake.

    If everything's ok, but when you view whois, the age of domain is not long ( about afew days, 1 month,1 week..) and it's got high PR >>> it's not fake, the PR is real but it's a dropped domain .
    Dropped domains : The domains have high PR in the past, and the owner forget to renew, after it's been deleted , another guy registers it, after a few days, google re-indexed his site, and give his domain's PR back.

    Go to google.com

    Type in 'info:domain.com'

    If there are no results or it returns a different url it could be fake pr.

      Generally the websites which get fake PR it is on short span of time and in some time or when Google will catch these websites they will lose it. Normally a website get its PR after months from Google.

      Guys almost every Pr checker out there gives some false positives so the best thing to do is do both a info:domain.com search AND a site:domain.com search

      why the second? because some times without being deindexed the home page of the domain falls out of the index but the domain itself is showing up for other pages.

        Yup. I don't know a single PR checker that is not fooled
        if the PR is being faked the right way at the moment you
        check.

        There are many tip offs.

        No content on the site except one page, at most 2.

        No pages indexed by google. And I don't mean the domain
        found in SERPs. I mean just the domain, nothing else.

        No cache to click on. A surefire tip off. The site "normally"
        has to not be cached by google. If the timing is wrong, it
        may be cached.

        Some logic. The high PR sites, like PR9 and PR10 are
        very common knowledge. A simple search will find
        the current list. It's a short one.

        And it aint gonna be best-wii-games.info.
        Guaranteed. No, has nothing to do with dot info.
        MTA.info is PR8. It seems as of late, at least on
        the WF, a bunch of .infos are faking PR and making
        the rounds. prchecker.info is 8 or above, BTW.
        That checker is loved by google, can be fooled.

        The bottom line though, is to use your head.
        Judging by some of the past threads on some fake
        PR, some warriors are snookered very, very easily.

        They put all their faith in online PR checkers. There
        are none that are foolproof. If google itself would
        put one out there, it would solve this. BUT..they
        won't. It would need to open up some of their secrets
        and they are not going to do it.

        All they do is to tell you not to worry about PR and
        work on making a valuable website. Hmmmm. That's
        good advice. Pity people ignore it.

    Best way is to check manually on IP which shows updated PR.

    info:domain.com

    If results are nothing or url(s) which doesn't match original then something is fishy if only 1 url is returned and its same then its 100% ok

    info:yoursite.com and site:yoursite.com searches are indeed the most reliable.
