Open the companion tool →Why the face is the wrong test
A generated endorsement can look and sound exactly like the real person, because it is built from their real likeness. The reliable test is the claim: guaranteed returns, pressure to act now, and celebrity investment pitches are red flags that regulation makes legitimate offers avoid.
Regulated investment and product offers cannot promise guaranteed profit, and they must identify who is selling. If the ad promises certainty and names no regulated entity, that is the reading — regardless of the face.
The protocol
- Paste the ad's claims without adding your own financial details.
- Read the claim-by-claim basis: guaranteed returns, licensing, and pressure markers each get a line.
- Search whether the real person has publicly endorsed the offer, on their own verified account or site.
- If you already wired money, contact your bank and report at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and ic3.gov.
What the tool does
Paste an endorsement ad's claims and get a claim-by-claim reality reading with the basis shown. It runs in this browser; nothing is sent or stored.
Limit first: This check can raise your confidence, but a clean result doesn't prove an ad or endorsement is real. It does not analyze the video itself — it structures the claims to verify.
Open the companion tool →One human next step
Search the person's verified account for the endorsement. If money moved, contact your bank, then report to the FTC and the FBI's IC3.

AI-assist path: a live claim-verification pass against regulated-offering norms is the canonical AI assist here, but is not wired into this static artifact; the checker structures the claims the reader must verify and names the gap. §6.10: not a frontier-pace topic.
§0.5 protection result: category is deepfake-media-verification; crisis-adjacent: no; fear/urgency/scarcity toolkit used: no. The protective function is free and the paid feature is convenience only.
