POOKIE BEAR
Auckland, New Zealand
Online Presence (1 profile)
Why we think so?
The X (Twitter) account @pookeywookeybru claims the name 'POOKIE BEAR' and lists Auckland, New Zealand as its location. The account is less than a year old, has no followers, and primarily retweets well-known accounts without sharing original content. The profile picture is a stock pottery product image from an online shop, not a personal or unique image. Searches show many unrelated 'Pookie Bear' profiles elsewhere, but there is no link between this account and an established person or business. While there's no direct evidence of scam activity tied to this handle, its setup is highly suspicious and closely matches patterns used by placeholder or impersonator accounts. Exercise caution—avoid sharing private or sensitive information with this account.

Detailed Checks & Insights
0-100 Scale
Account Authenticity: Account age and activity
Score: 35
Account Authenticity: Account age and activity
"Zero followers and low post count indicate minimal authentic community or natural growth. Account age of 4+ months is not inherently suspicious, but lack of activity raises concern."
Reason: The profile was created in August 2023 and has very limited activity: only 23 posts, no followers, and follows 22 accounts. These factors often match low-effort or placeholder profiles, not active, established individuals.
Profile Picture Authenticity
Score: 10
Profile Picture Authenticity
"Profile uses a commercial image instead of a unique, personal image, which is a common impersonation/red-flag technique."
Reason: A Google Lens reverse image search showed the profile image matches product imagery from 'deMib Pottery.' This suggests use of an unrelated or generic image, not a personal photo.
Impersonation/Consistency Across Platforms
Score: 25
Impersonation/Consistency Across Platforms
"This Twitter account cannot be clearly associated with any authentic presence or registered brand identity. It appears disconnected from all prominent or corporate 'Pookie Bear' names online."
Reason: No verified brand, business, or person named 'POOKIE BEAR' is clearly associated with this handle. Many other unrelated 'Pookie Bear' profiles exist across major platforms with no clear linkage or branding unification.
Engagement/Behavioral Patterns: Audience Authenticity
Score: 10
Engagement/Behavioral Patterns: Audience Authenticity
"No signs of any audience or attempts at building one. All recent activity is retweeting well-known influencer/celebrity posts, a common filler behavior in placeholder/impersonator accounts."
Reason: The account has no followers, minimal posting, and only retweets content from major accounts. There is no evidence of real audience interaction or organic engagement.
External Reputation and Scam Reports
Score: 60
External Reputation and Scam Reports
"Broad reports exist for impersonation, phishing, and scam tactics on X/Twitter, especially with low-activity or retweet-only accounts, but no unique evidence for this specific handle surfaced."
