How to spot Deepfakes?
Red Flags
Detecting deepfakes is becoming more challenging as technology improves. Knowing the warning signs and checking multiple sources can still help you identify potential scams.
🚩Unnatural facial expressions
Faces may look stiff or odd. Blinking can seem unnatural and expressions may not match what’s being said.
🚩Lip movements that don’t match the audio
Speech and mouth movements may be out of sync, or the movements may not fit the words being said.
🚩Strange lighting or shadows and poor image quality
Look for lighting or shadows that appear in the wrong place or blurry or highly pixelated images or videos.
🚩Unrealistic skin texture
Skin may look unusually smooth, overly wrinkled, or change slightly from moment to moment.
🚩Glitches or odd body movements
Hands may not move naturally, or you may notice missing body parts, extra fingers, or shapes that distort as the person moves.
🚩A voice that sounds slightly off
Listen carefully. The voice might sound unusual in tone, pacing or accent.
🚩Strange or warped written text
Text may look blurred, smeared, or incoherent, or spelling changes as the image moves.
🚩Unusual or unverified content
Content showing politicians, celebrities, or other public figures promoting investment opportunities that you can’t verify using other credible sources.
