If it seems too good to be true it probably is

Question

Hi everyone,

I want to translate this phrase “if it seems too good to be true, it probably is“ in to Spanish.

Is my attempt correct?

Si parece demasiado bueno para ser verdad, probablemente no es verdad.

And if so is it used? Or is there a similar, more common phrase?

Thank you

Answer 1

Si parece demasiado bueno para ser cierto, probablemente lo es.

Though, this is just known as: demasiado bueno para ser cierto.

Great, thank you very much - Wigzee, Aug 13, 2016
