Is that celebrity ad really them?
Check who made an ad and what it sells before you buy.
A face or voice in an ad may be copied. It could also be a real ad. Its look alone cannot tell you.
Even a real star's ad can make weak claims. Check the product or offer on its own.
For example, a made-up ad says a singer uses an AI money tool. A clip of that singer does not prove that the tool earns money.
- Pause the purchase. Do not use a link in the ad to sign in or pay.
- Check the person's own site or known account for the original ad. A missing post is not proof either way.
- Find the seller through a source you can check. Read the full price, terms and refund rules.
- For money claims, seek proof of the claim and check the firm with the right regulator. A star's name is not proof.
- If you cannot check the offer, leave it. You do not need to buy to test it.
Use this made-up ad: 'A famous singer uses our AI tool to earn cash.' List what to check about the endorsement and the money claim. Do not guess who made the ad or tell me the offer is safe.
Paste the message into ChatGPT, then fill in any blanks before you send it. ChatGPT opens in a new tab. Opening it does not send the message.
Check two things: who made the ad, and whether its claims hold up.
