What is the worst "proof of income" you've received?

This is what a recent Applicant provided for proof of income. They've only earned $912 since February. 

What's the strangest source of income you've ever seen?

Quote from @Lindsey Hughey:

that isn't the primary onlyfans account that is the backup account.  If the potential renter had made 50k since February, would you rent to them? 


It doesn't matter if it's their primary account or their 17th account. It's the only proof of income they provided us, period.

If they made $50,000 since February, I still wouldn't accept a screen shot from a mobile device as evidence. How do you know this is their account? How do you know the money didn't go to a pimp? 

Income must be verifiable, not just claimed.
