https://webvetted.com/storage/image_scan/EL9H10k1ugpL8suN65v02rQk24qpbL5pFADF5OYV.pngWhy we think so?
This image is a text message-style graphic that has not been found in any public reverse image searches. The analysis flagged an extremely high likelihood (98%) that the visible text is artificial, meaning it was probably generated or manipulated electronically. Despite this, the image itself scores low on traditional AI-generation signals (15%), but the text overlays show strong signals of being non-natural. There are no detected QR codes, links, or offensive/violent/scam keywords present. No personal details or recognizable scam patterns (such as bank impersonation) were detected. Overall, the text appears digitally inserted and not from an organic or genuine source. 🕵️♂️

AI/manipulated image detection
Score: 15
AI/manipulated image detection
"Text overlays are specifically flagged as non-natural. The overall image background appears genuine, but textual elements do not."
Reason: The image itself has a low AI-generation probability, but the text within is found to be almost entirely artificial, showing heavy digital modification.
Text scan: scam keywords/links
Score: 60
Text scan: scam keywords/links

QR code or embedded link safety
Score: 100
QR code or embedded link safety
"QR scans across multiple categories (spam, social, personal, etc.) were all negative."

Reverse image search (scam pattern)
Score: 40
Reverse image search (scam pattern)
