Overall Summary
Suspicious
  Why we think so? 

Quick verdict: the image contains text that is almost certainly machine-generated and is widely reused across social posts tied to referral/crypto/gaming promotions. Sightengine flags ~96% of the detected text as artificial, and Google Lens finds many matches on TikTok and Facebook promoting sign-up/referral offers. No QR codes or malicious links were extracted, and moderation returned no explicit safety flags. Treat this as suspicious promotional content and avoid following offers or sending money based on it. 🔍

Risk Insights

🔎

Machine-generated text detected

  • Sightengine labeled most visible text as 'text-artificial' with ~0.92–0.96 probability.
  • AI-generated overlays are frequently used in mass promotional posts and referral scams.
  • High artificial-text signal lowers trust in claims made inside the image.

Category Scores

Red Flags & Warnings

  • High likelihood the visible text was generated or edited by an automated tool (sightengine has_artificial = 0.96).
  • Multiple reverse-image matches in social posts promoting referral codes, crypto, and gambling offers — common vehicles for scams.
  • Image is being reused across many public posts, which reduces uniqueness and increases risk of it being part of mass promotional/scam campaigns.

Detailed Checks & Insights

0-100 Scale

AI-generated / manipulated text detection

Score: 15
Failed

Reason: High-confidence labels mark the printed/overlaid text as machine-generated, which reduces trust in its authenticity.

Scam keywords / link extraction from text

Score: 35
Failed

Reason: No explicit malicious URL or QR was extracted, but the content pattern (promo/referral) matches common scam campaigns.

Reverse image search / prior use

Score: 25
Failed

Reason: Image appears in many public social posts tied to promotional or referral offers, suggesting mass reuse rather than a unique, trustworthy source.

Safety / content moderation

Score: 70
Passed

Reason: No safety categories (hate, sexual minors, illicit) were flagged by moderation, reducing immediate safety concerns about illegal content.

Technical signal (sharpness, brightness, QR scan)

Score: 60
Passed

Reason: Image quality is good (sharp/bright) and no malicious QR or blacklist entries were detected, which helps technical validation but does not prove authenticity.

Your Next Steps

  • 1

    Do not click links or follow sign-up instructions shown in the image; do not send money or personal info based on it.

  • 2

    If you saw this in a message, block and report the sender to the platform, and avoid joining any linked groups or channels.

  • 3

    Search the exact image (reverse image search) and check the context of the top matches before trusting offers tied to it.

  • 4

    If you need to verify a service, go directly to the official website or app store listing rather than using promotional posts.

  • 5

    Keep a screenshot and the original message if you plan to report the content to platform moderators or law enforcement.
