Hello Agent $name.
This is a highly important mission. Listen carefully.
Scammers are a highly dangerous group. They are trying to attack and steal the data, information, and money from many among the people of the world. Including yourself.
To join the special forces against this, you must learn and train to recognize and fight against these scammers.
That is where I come in. Together, we shall work together to fight back against the enemies lurking in the internet, waiting to strike.
This is your mission.
If you choose to accept it.
[[I accept.]]

Artificial Intelligence has taken over a lot of the internet. Although, technically, it isn't sentient. It just recognizes patterns on microscopic levels and uses that to give the illusion of humanity.
Because of this, AI pictures can look real. And AI text can sound human. But there are ways to tell them apart.

The first thing AI uses in writing is the rule of thirds. They say "X, Y, and Z." They don't say "X and Y" or "X and Y and Z" or "X, Y, Z, and A" They specficially pick three adverbs (usually those that sound very similar or mean similar things) and use that when describing something.
Now, this isn't the only thing AI does, and just because someone uses this in their writing doesn't mean AI wrote it. However, if the sentences used have MOST of what we're going to talk about, you should be VERY suspicious.

The thing about AI **IMAGES** is that it's very difficult to tell the ones trying to be real from reality. They usually will either be clearly in the "AI Art Style" or be depicting something blatently unreal.
Sometimes, you'll need to look closer though. And it'll be an extra finger on a hand or a ripple in the skin to give it away.
[[Let's try a game to demonstrate.]]
\<</type>><<type 10ms>>\
The second thing AI uses in writing is the handy dandy "It wasn't just _____, it was ______"
Some examples: "Your preformance wasn't just beautiful, it was stunning."
"This video isn't just well-made, it's entertaining."
"That idea isn't just smart, it's genius."
Again, you'll notice the word choices used are sort of flat. That's typical of AI. An AI will never use truly descriptive wording. Usually, it'll be vague. (Not always, but usually.) If the words are all sort of same-y or are very cliche this is another red flag that it was made by it AI.
[[Let's put them together.]]
\<</type>><<type 10ms>>\
Okay, let's put these two things together. "It wasn't just ____, it was ___, ___, and ___."
That has the rule of thirds from above and the sentence style we just mentioned.
"Photography isn't just an art, it's a creative expression of talent, love, and passion."
[[Continue...]]
\<</type>><<type 10ms>>\
The next thing AI will use, is the semi-colon and the em-dash. Now, these rarely mean anything ESPECIALLY if they're in a published novel. However, if they're in a tabloid article or YouTube comments AND it's with the other ideas stated above? You should be very wary.
In usual, especially in the modern day, a lot less people properly know how to use semi-colons and em-dashes. Seeing them is a minor red flag it doesn't immeditely mean it's an AI. HOWEVER, if it's paired with other giveaways, it can become dangerous.
[[Anything else?]]
\<</type>><<type 10ms>>\
The final thing is word choice with AI. AI will speak very professionally (mostly) and usually use big words but never have any meaning behind them. They will be no specific tone or stylistic choices and it will be- despite any elegence- very bland.
Okay. Now that you know everything, it's time to test it out.

**WARNING: you should try to be catious of all texts that are from an unknown number. And any profiles that have a "Maybe: " in front of them. Unless you had just exchanged phone numbers with someone else
It says: "Hey, $name!"
Do you: [[respond]] or [[block immeditely]]?You ask who it is, and the unknown number tells you it's your son!
Do you:
[[Trust it. It knows my son's name, doesn't it?]]
[[Wait, doesn't my son have another number?]]You don't actually want to block immeditely! Not unless the person is clearly a scam. (I will show you some clear scam examples in a moment, but for now, you have no idea if this person is a scam or not.)
"Okay, then I'll [[respond]]"If this is the case, DON'T click the links provided to you and instead- from google- search up the companies online and click the link provided.
Usually the scam will provide you with a link, hoping you can click on it, in order to send viruses into your computer. So, to prevent this, always make sure you go onto the website from a different acess portal.
So, go onto the official website and if what the scammer is saying is TRUE, you'll usually be able to find evidence there.
If you remain worried about the email or text message, REMAIN on the official website and scroll down to their help-center. There you can call someone who can help check if what the scame said is true or not :)
[[Let's try it out.]]He explains that he recently got a new number and is trying to locate all his contacts.
[[Ah, well that explains it.]]
[[Question him some more.]]Actually, it's very easy for scammers to gain access to personal information! If you trust it, there's a really strong chance it's a scammer attempting to impersonate your son instead.
So, to make sure you don't blindly trust this, try talking to it a bit more!
[[question about your son's other number]]Company scams are usually someone impersonating a company or a government agency and contacting you posing as them.
[[Here are some clear examples of scams.]]Some examples of clear scams.
Immeditely jump if a scam...
- tell you you're in legal trouble for something (especially if it's through a text message)
- ask you to renew a subscription for something you don't have
- offer you job oppertunities you never applied for
- give you coupon codes if you just!! click!! here!!
- if they claim their from a company but their email adress is something wildly different
[Example: They claim they're from the DMV but their email is: jamie719@gmail.com... do you think DMV would contact you through jamie719@gmail.com?]
[["But I'm really certain it isn't a scam!"]]
He explains that he recently got a new number and is trying to locate all his contacts.
[[Ah, well that explains it.]]
[[Question him some more.]]Very close! It certainly seems like your son, but you can't be a hundred percent certain yet, can you? Not unless you're talking with your son in person and he confirms it.
[[So, maybe one more question is in order.]]
You ask him to tell you something only something your son with know.
This, while vague, can (along with any other personal questions you want to ask) help weed out if he is a scammer or not. Also, ask him to call.
If he is able to tell you information about him that isn't easily acessed online, AND you're able to see his face and hear his voice in a video call: then, most likely, he's your son! And it really sucks that he needed to change numbers.
Still, next time you see your son ask about it. And watch out to see if your son texts back from his previous number. And, if you aren't able to confirm that this is your son and he begins to ask you for money, decline until you can be certain that it is your son.
[[Because, urgency is a scammer's best friend]]Urgency is one of the key reasons a scammer is able to target a victim. If they put a loved ones life on the line and say they need five hundred dollars in the next hour otherwise they (posing as a loved one) will be in huge trouble, you're more inclined to give up the money when you're pressured for time.
However, it's important to make sure you don't give up any money unless you have complete and absolute confirmation that this is your son.
And, yeah, a video call isn't enough to do it.
AI is advanced enough to replicate someone to be convincing to the uncritical eye. Both with face and voice.
That's why, when presented with something unfamiliar, you need to be critical.
[[There was someone pretending to be my son?]]You ask him to tell you something only something your son with know.
This, while vague, can (along with any other personal questions you want to ask) help weed out if he is a scammer or not.
If he is able to tell you information about him that isn't easily acessed online, then, most likely, he's your son! And it really sucks that he needed to change numbers
Still, next time you see your son ask about it. And watch out to see if your son texts back from his previous number. And, if you aren't able to confirm that this is your son and he begins to ask you for money, decline until you can be certain that it is your son.
[[Because, urgency is a scammer's best friend]]Yes. Scammers will do anything and everything to get money out of you.
They may pretend to know your family, or your friends. They might tell you that someone you love is in jail or that a person you know (a boss or a counciler) is texting you for something.
But what they don't know are the things you've said aloud to these people. If you ask them for things only they will know, that's how you know they're the person they've said they are.
[[Tell me more tactics scammers use.]]Here are some key attributes of a scammer email/text, usually when they're pretending to be someone you know, not a company scam
- Urgency
- Bad grammar
- Sending you links filled with viruses
- pretending to be a loved one or to be texting you about a loved one
- asking you for money
[[But what about company scams?]]<img src="https://ik.imagekit.io/r4rsqt4le/IMG_3251.jpg?updatedAt=1760125007893" width="768" height="1536">

Okay, do you believe this to be a scam?
<<set $numbertime = 1>>
[[Yes, because it doesn't have a contact, it's just a phone number.]]
[[Yes, because the way it's written is clunky and feels very sketchy.]]
[[Yes, because companies don't contact through text message unless you give them your phone number... and even then it's usually unlikly.]]
[[No, because it says it's from the DMV.]]
[[No, because it doesn't appear to be a scam.]]Just because it claims it's from the DMV doesn't mean it is!
A lot of the time it's better to be more skeptical about things like this. Anyone can claim to be anything, so it simply saying it's from the DMV isn't enough.
However, no matter <em>how</em> possible that it isn't a scam, you still need to be careful, just in case!
What will you do to be sure?
[[Click on the link provided by the text message to check.]]
[[Go onto the official DMV website to make sure this is false.]]
[[Contact the DMV through offical channels not provided in the text to clarify.]]
[[Respond to the text with questions.]]That's really interesting. What part of it doesn't appear to be a scam?
It's sent on a number you have no prior interaction with, claiming to be a company without providing any proof.
Even if there was a part of it that made it a hundred percent ligitamte in your eyes, you still should double check just to make sure.

The link the text message provides might not be an official link. It might be a scam link trying to lead you to a copy website.
Instead, go onto the search engine on your phone or computer and search for the official website! Google (or safari, or yahoo, or firefox, ect) will almost always bring up what you're looking for in one of the first few results. (Just make sure you don't click on the websites labled with 'ad')
From there, check the official website to see what the message is saying is true.
It usually won't be, but if it IS, do not go back and contact the message. Stay on the official website and fix the problem from there.

<</if>>This may or may not work well in your favor.
In general, I would advise against this. Any sort of engagment can result in the scam continuing to attempt to scam you. And, they might be able to trick you into actually participating in it and giving it money.
Instead, don't interact with it in any way and double check through outside means.
<<if $numbertime is 1>>
[[Next one!!]]
<<else>>
[[Let's continue]]
<</if>>You're correct, it is a scam! But just because it doesn't have a contact doesn't mean it's a scam.
A lot of the time, when companies contact you through text (something that happens only rarely) they will have an email instead of phone number with their company name. But that's not always true!
However, companies won't ever contact you with random phone numbers, it will usually have something official about it. And whether it does or doesn't, will not be the final determining factor in whether it is a scam or not.
The final message is simple: No matter how possible that it isn't a scam, you still need to be careful, just in case!
What will you do to be sure?
[[Click on the link provided by the text message to check.]]
[[Go onto the official DMV website to make sure this is false.]]
[[Contact the DMV through offical channels not provided in the text to clarify.]]
[[Respond to the text with questions.]]They don't!
This is a key part in determining whether something is a scam. The question you should be asking is: Does this message make sense knowing what I know about A. The company and B. my most recent interactions with the company?
And even if both answers are yes, they still don't dismiss the possibility that it isn't a scam.
You still need to be careful, just in case!
What will you do to be sure?
[[Click on the link provided by the text message to check.]]
[[Go onto the official DMV website to make sure this is false.]]
[[Contact the DMV through offical channels not provided in the text to clarify.]]
[[Respond to the text with questions.]]That's true and a huge indicator of scams. But is that it? If everything else is ligitimate, don't be too quick to jump the gun.
This one, however, was a scam and you were correct!!!
Just make sure that no matter how possible that it isn't a scam, you still need to be careful, just in case!
What will you do to be sure on whether this is or isn't a scam?
[[Click on the link provided by the text message to check.]]
[[Go onto the official DMV website to make sure this is false.]]
[[Contact the DMV through offical channels not provided in the text to clarify.]]
[[Respond to the text with questions.]]It's important to remember not to let the message scare or terrify you. They might give you a time limit, which is a common tactic. This will make you scared and more likely to comply without double checking.
Some important questions to ask yourself is:
1. Does this make sense?
2. Does this look like a scam?
3. Would I be contacted in this way by this person/company?
4. If, when double checking the original website, does this still continue to hold ground?
5. Are there other ways you can double check this without interacting with the possible scam?
Usually phonecalls can be marked as 'possible scam' and emails and texts will usually have an icon alerting you that it might be a scam, but this isn't always the case!
If you're unsure, it's always good to ask someone else and get a second pair of eyes to help you out.

[[Question 2]]Close, but they aren't garnering outside information on you. Accepting cookies means they can collect information of what they do in that website, and then sell it. So they'll track what you do and whatever personal information you give them.
[[Question 2]]Haha. No, it's not that at all.
Accepting cookies means they can collect information of what they do in that website, and then sell it. So they'll track what you do and whatever personal information you give them.
[[Question 2]]How bad are cookies?
[[Terrible. You should never accept them and you should clear all of your cookie data.]]
[[Bad, but if it's a website that you want to remember information about you without using an accounts. (Ex: If you want your Amazon Shopping Cart to keep all the items you put in) ]]
[[Fine? They don't really matter.]]
[[Great! Accept all of the cookies!]]While, yes, cookies are harmful and involve stealing and selling of your personal information, if you WANT a website to remember something about you, it's best not to click decline cookies. Otherwise decline away!
[[Question 3]]That's correct! If you WANT a website to remember something about you, it's best not to click decline cookies. Otherwise, if you want to keep your privacy, decline the cookies!
<<set $scorecounter = $scorecounter + 1>>
[[Question 3]]They definitely do matter! They're tools companies use to steal and SELL information about you.
If you WANT a website to remember something about you, it's best not to click decline cookies. Otherwise, if you want to keep your privacy, decline the cookies!
[[Question 3]]If you WANT a website to remember something about you, it's best not to click decline cookies. Otherwise, if you want to keep your privacy, decline the cookies! They're what companies use to spy on you and steal information about you. They record what you click on and all the information you give them. So, unless you want that sold to other companies and used to manipulate the ads and tech envioment around you, it's best to decline.
[[Question 3]]If an icon at the bottom of the website pops up, asking you to accept cookies or click preferences. Which do you pick?
[[Accept]]
[[Preferences]]No!! I understand that it's easier to click that, but if you really want to protect your privacy, clicking preferences will lead you to a page where you can decline or turn off as many cookies as you can.
[[Question 4]]<<set $scorecounter = $scorecounter + 1>>
Exactly! And once you're in there, clicking preferences will lead you to a page where you can decline or turn off as many cookies as you can.
[[Question 4]]How can you identify AI writing?
[["It wasn't just _____, it was ______"]]
[[Em-dashes and semi-colons]]
[[Using commonly used words to say nothing at all]]
[[Thr rule of thirds (ex: "He was happy, sad, and giddy")]]
[[Usually, if just one of these are used, it shouldn't count as AI writing, but you see a combination of these words above and you were already suspicious with it, then you definitely should investigate more.]]Is there a surefire way to tell if an image is real or ai generated?
[[No, sometimes you can tell but AI has gotten so advanced it is difficult to descern them from reality..]]
[[Yes, you can check the amount of fingers on their hands.]]
[[Intuitively you'll always be able to tell.]]
In the bubble:
Sadly, you must now be skeptical of everything you view on social media and hold a critical eye to it all. If you have doubts it might be AI, listen to it. If it shows real people doing things that shock, upset, or discern you, ask other sources or look up if it's real or not. BLAH WHatever.While this used to be true, it has become increasingly more and more difficult to tell what is AI and what is not.
Ultimately, there is no way to know. You must remain skeptical at all times until the issue can be resolved. Always doubting images and videos you are given.
[[Question 6]]Correct!
Ultimately, there is no way to know. You must remain skeptical at all times until the issue can be resolved. Always doubting images and videos you are given.
[[Question 6]]You get a text message from your bank telling you, you have overdue loans. What do you do?
[[Freak out and respond to the text asking what's going on.]]
[[Click the link the message gave you to see what's going on.]]
[[Remain calm and investigate the actual website, not through the link provded, to see what's wrong.]]You get a text from your neice's number, asking you a question. How do you respond?
[[Be wary that it might not be her.]]
[[Respond normally as if that is her.]]That's all! Thank you for training, Agent $name. I hope you enjoyed your time here and I hope you learned something.
This message will self destruct in three... two...It's best to remain calm and not respond to the text message. Instead, remain calm and investigate the actual website, not through the link provded, to see what's wrong. If you can't find anything, make sure to contact the websites support, otherwise, feel free to assume it's a scam. If it wasn't a scam, the website would have made sure to alert you about it.
[[Question 7]]It's best to remain calm and not respond to the text message. Instead, remain calm and investigate the actual website, not through the link provded, to see what's wrong. If you can't find anything, make sure to contact the websites support, otherwise, feel free to assume it's a scam. If it wasn't a scam, the website would have made sure to alert you about it.
[[Question 7]]Perfect!
If you can't find anything, make sure to contact the websites support, otherwise, feel free to assume it's a scam. If it wasn't a scam, the website would have made sure to alert you about it.
[[Question 7]]If it's your niece's number, and you know it's your niece's number, there's probably very little reason to be wary.
If she begins to act odd, there is chance her number may have gotten hacked, but it is unlikely.
If your niece texts you from an <em>unknown</em> number, then it is time to be wary and skeptical.
[[The End]]If it's your niece's number, and you know it's your niece's number, there's probably very little reason to be wary. You picked correctling in saying you should respond normally!
If she begins to act odd, there is chance her number may have gotten hacked, but it is unlikely.
If your niece texts you from an <em>unknown</em> number, then it is time to be wary and skeptical.

@@So close! That's one of the ways you can tell, but you can't be completely certain until many different clues are also given to you.
The rule of thirds, "It wasn't just _____, it was ______," em-dashes and semi-colons are all key features of AI writing. If they are paired with commonly used words, sentences that say nothing at all, and bland strucutre, then, you can finally decifer that it's probably AI writing.
You still have no way of knowing for certain, though. You might be able to highly suspect, but sadly, unless someone literally leaves in the prompt they gave to Chat GPT (or the robot's response), there's no concrete way of knowing.
[[Question 5]]So close! That's one of the ways you can tell, but you can't be completely certain until many different clues are also given to you.

[[Question 5]]A hundred percent!!
The rule of thirds, "It wasn't just _____, it was ______," em-dashes and semi-colons are all key features of AI writing. If they are paired with commonly used words, sentences that say nothing at all, and bland strucutre, then, it's almost certainly AI writing.
You still have no way of knowing for certain, though. You might be able to highly suspect, but sadly, unless someone literally leaves in the prompt they gave to Chat GPT (or the robot's response), there's no concrete way of knowing.
[[Question 5]]Sadly this is not true!
Maybe you did amazing on the AI image detection game, but sadly, it is incredibly difficult to determine artifical images from real ones.
You must remain skeptical at all times until the issue can be resolved. Always doubting images and videos you are given.
