Can anyone explain this proverb for me

[hadel]

The proverb is :
" If it seems too good to be true , it probably is. "
English is not my first language.
Thanks for any helps.

I can offer a scenario to demonstrate: If someone offers to sell you a car for a lot less money than you think the car is worth, don't buy it. The person may be trying to cheat you.

[hadel]

Thank you, it is clear now.

as my father said, you never get something for nothing.

"If it seems too good to be true , it probably Not"
this is the real life

[russ_watters]

You got the grammar wrong on that. It should be: "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is".
