Did you sign it? If so it is real. If not it is a fake.

Your question is too vague! Depending on what it is that someone is saying that you signed, the answer might vary. The most basic test is to simply look at it! What is it that you supposedly signed? WHEN did you supposedly sign it? In what context? Who was there to witness it?

Examples of this. Let's say that a credit card bill comes in from a Shell station across town, from a Shell station that I've never visited. I walk in there and ask, "Why did I receive this charge for $43.89?" The attendant says to me, "You bought gas and a few groceries." I OF COURSE say, "No way! I've never been here in my life!" So, he produces this credit card receipt that shows my signiture on it. If I didn't sign it, I say, "That's not my signiture!" They can say yes it is all they want, but they have NO PROOF that it is. They can't have proof, because I had never been there before, right? So, I ask to see the security tape. I ask to meet the person working that day. Etc. Even if they push it, my credit card company is going to fight it. I would argue that EVENTUALLY Shell is going to cave. They cannot do otherwise!

Obviously a handwriting expert is an option too. But in this day and age, it seems like a very extreme last resort. ESPECIALLY since they are nothing more than informed guessers; i.e., a good forgery can fool them and even day-to-day inconsistencies in how we sign our names could fool them into believing one is a forgery.
