What to look for

Signs of a faked video call

Romance scammers and corporate fraudsters use virtual webcam software to stream pre-recorded loops or live face swaps.

01

The hand-wave face distortion glitch

Request that the caller slowly wave their open hand across their nose and mouth. Real-time deepfake models fail instantly and create noticeable pixel tearing.

02

Audio-video desynchronization

Real-time neural rendering introduces computational latency, resulting in spoken syllables that lag behind lip movements.

03

Lighting invariance during movement

When the caller leans toward their screen, a real face reflects the glow of the monitor. A pre-rendered deepfake face maintains static illumination.

04

Pixel ghosting around ears and neck

Virtual camera face trackers often fail to track ears and collars accurately, leaving double-edges or floating artifacts during head tilts.

Frequently asked questions

Can scammers deepfake a live video call?
Fraud rings frequently route synthetic avatars or pre-recorded model loops through OBS virtual webcams into WhatsApp, Telegram, Zoom, and FaceTime.
What is the best real-time test during a suspicious video call?
Ask them to make unexpected physical gestures: hold up three fingers beside their cheek, turn fully sideways to display their ear, or wave their hand over their face.
How do scammers route fake video into WhatsApp or FaceTime?
They use modified Android emulators, PC camera spoofing tools, or virtual audio/video cables that present a pre-recorded clip as a live camera feed.
