More interesting question:

Your friend pulls out the fake badge, proud of himself for having the winning bid on eBay... "check it out! badge #10!"

Do you tell them that it's fake? Or let them live happily in their joy-filled bubble?

You tell them so that they can get a refund from ebay, if you catch them in time, also so they don't end up accused of fraud when they try to resell it.

When you tell them it is a fake, they will believe more strongly that it is real.

Dont we all live in the joyful bubble of beliefs many of which have no basis ?
